animals on the rampage

What is it about a small-minded beast that when, faced with digestive difficulties, it will choose a small 4X6 oriental carpet to vomit on, rather than the hundreds of surrounding feet of (very cleanable) ceramic tile?

These are the compelling kinds of questions that are occupying my attention right now. That and this, which I read on Popbitch this morning:

Shoot that poison arrow through my heart

What is going on in the natural world? When
Steve Irwin is killed by a stingray we're told
it's a one-in-a-billion fluke. But it's not!
The stingrays are fighting back.

An 82 year-old Florida man was cruising along
the intracoastal waterway when a stingray just
leapt out into the boat.

The man, James Bertakis, leaned over to
help the ray back into the water, when the
crafty fish jabbed his barbed tail through his
heart. The man suffered agonies and is in
a critical condition in hospital.

I hear this is old hat for those in the know, but I guess I'm not. I just heard about it today. Takes Popbitch to keep me up to date. Popbitch, for those who are unfamiliar, is a British gossip rag that makes People, Us, and all the rest of those supermarket tabloids look like candycorn. Popbitch, indeed, is where I found news of (and a link to) Colin Farrell's naughty escapades, not to mention that infamous photo of Jude Law dangling his wobblies over a wetsuit on an open balcony (before he so selfishly yanked it off the web). For those who like to know about the latest celebrity idiocy or fetish, Popbitch is the best source out there.
