Rip Snorter Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Ain't that the truth! Anyone remember paperclip and pay phone? I can recall walking to the phone booth with a sock full of coins to talk to my College GF on the Summer Break - I actually could have just paid for my share of the Folks bill, but it was simpler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 "Crook as a dog." New one for me, apparently means "feeling very unwell." Used by Ross regarding his wife on YouTube: In episode 336: He is building a 42 foot catamaran from scratch, might finish it some day. Best wishes for his wife to feel well soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I've heard of "crooked as a dog's hind leg", which means not the most honest person in town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I'd happily root for my team, but in private by your definition. Well, to be honest, don't care which team, any team, or no team. "Thunder Box" could catch on here, I'll start using the term. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckshot Bear Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 “THE DEEP SEA LIZARD FISH” The stuff of nightmares: Terrifying hermaphrodite fish with the face of a LIZARD and hundreds of spiky teeth is found off the coast of Australia Called the deepsea lizardfish, the animal is a superpredator of the ocean floor, snapping up squid and other fish with is fierce jaws. The creature was hauled up by scientists trawling large nets off the coast of Tasmania. It is a fierce predator with the face of the lizard, the body of an eel and hundreds of sharp teeth. It got its name from its close resemblance to lizards, but is classified as a fish. Lizard fish are 'superpredators' of the ocean floor and have jaws lined with rows of hundreds of spiky teeth. Its teeth are hinged, making it harder for fish and squid to escape once in the animal's clutches. The animal - whose scientific name is Bathysaurus ferox - is also a hermaphrodite, meaning it has both male and female reproductive organs. Scientists believe the lizard fish has evolved to have reproductive tissue to maximize its chances of reproduction in the deep sea, where animals typically live further apart. The creature is largely made up of a mouth and hinged teeth, so once it has you in its jaws there is no escape. 'The more you struggle, the further into its mouth you go. 'Being the dominant predator of the depths isn't easy though; at depths of 1,000 to 2,500 metres [3,280ft to 8,200ft] there is very little food, so lizard fish are few and far between to maximize scarce resources.' 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
