Me as a teenager
There´s a meme going around where you are supposed to draw yourself as you were as a teenager. Ok, why not. Above is me at 15. I used to be a drummer in various bands and had a new wave/goth period with the odd hair color (read orange or white) and second hand clothing. Fashion was dorky then but then again it still is… Anyway, this is me being tall and skinnier, sneaking in at Zanzibar, Ritz (still miss that club though). My friends thought I looked to healthy so they collected their last savings and bought me black eye shadow at Face which I was supposed to wear under my eyes in order to get the proper tormented look.
I still can´t get over that stupid hair do!
Frog ate Dinosaur eggs
Some 70 million years ago a giant frog made life hard for lizards, bugs and possibly even dinosaur eggs at Madagaskar on Africas east coast. British and American researchers has a report on their fossil findings in Pnas . They´ve named it Beelzebufo (Devils frog). It weighs about 8 pounds and were about the size of a squashed bowling ball. Closest living relatives are supposedly the South American horn toad which supports the theory that Madagaskar, India and South America were connected at the time when Dinosaurs roamed the streets.
Weird thing is I could have sworn it was only recently I met a fellow Beelzebufo, she was the maître d at a swanky restaurant.
