^ The are from China and if you plant them they will grow "pod people" :-) Since their coronavirus plans didn't work out, this is the next step to try and take over the world.

Plants are terrifying if I lay down for about two months next to a vine same as a snake: https://youtu.be/UG9YmrqyomM lot we don’t know as well


Is the canadian government going to try growing some in a safe place?


Why would somebody do this I’m not sure how it would ensure their survival?

^I guess it would the seeds.

[Rob Randall]

Seems the most plausible theory is the seeds are sent to create a verified and delivered online order that can then be used to write a "genuine" review of a product under a fake name. Seeds are used simply because they are a cheap and lightweight product. So if you see a product online like jewelry with five star legitimate and verified reviews saying this product is great and it arrived on time it could be one of these scams.

Centennial square used to be (probably still is) a drug fair every summer during the 1990s. It's not like it was ever a very safe or palatable place.

It's probably giant hog weed seeds

Just be careful not to plant giant forest hog seeds. Those guys made a mess of my backyard. (But eventually I solved the problem by chasing them into my neighbour's yard.)

I heard they caught a murder hornet in WA.

But in their zeal to get to the truth the interrogation about the whereabouts of its nest they went overboard and killed it.

they are going to capture another and use softer techniques now.

No, but they can be held in the Bug Zoo.

[Victoria Watcher]

a lot of local bug zoos around here start with good intentions.

a pair of fleas. maybe a maggot or two, tops. perhaps a lone cockroach. nothing that would seem out of ordinary on the VV usernames “currently online” list.

but next thing you know it’s like the Jurassic Park movies but with killer bees.

I think the Galey kids farm in the blenkinsop Valley started as a bug zoo but now some of the larger chicadas are actually driving the mini train, for example. and don’t plan to retire for 17 years.

Is the bug zoo open yet?

Yes it is.

[todd]

Yes it is.

Might have some martinis and head down. Are they allowing you to hold the insects currently?

No, you have to wait five minutes and then you can hold them.

A Victoria man will serve a total of 10 years in prison after committing two almost identical assaults in downtown Victoria in March 2018.

Sesay, who was nearby, said: “Don’t talk to my [expletive] girlfriend that way” and punched the unsuspecting Anderson in the face. Unable to defend himself, Anderson was knocked to the ground with his hands by his side, striking his head on the concrete and losing consciousness. Sesay and his girlfriend left the area.

 

At the time, Sesay was six-foot, two-inches tall and 200 pounds. Anderson was five-foot, six-inches tall and 135 pounds, said Rogers.

 

Anderson suffered a fractured skull, jaw and orbital bone. He spent three days in hospital, lost five weeks of work, had to eat with a straw for eight weeks and continues to be affected by his brain injury, said Rogers.

 

He is regularly fatigued and has numbness due to nerve damage in his face.

 

“He has lost his ability to enjoy music, which was previously both a source of employment and pleasure, because ‘small sounds feel like an earthquake’ in his head. Anderson suffers from anxiety and depression and feels he is unable to live his life to the fullest as a result of his injuries,” said Rogers.

 

The attack on Rowley took place on March 31. Sesay became enraged after stepping into a back-alley puddle of urine and decided to punish Rowley, who was walking out of an alcove behind the Strathcona Hotel after he had urinated behind a dumpster. Sesay stopped Rowley and punched him in the face.

 

Unaware the blow was coming, Rowley fell backwards and hit his head. At the time, he was working full-time researching technologies to improve the lives of children and adults with autism, as he worked on a master’s degree in community development.

That is disappointing.

Come on over, I've got some silverfish; if you're fast enough, you can touch them all you like.

See this is why I have a hard time believing you can’t get a disease from a silverfish.

[aastra]

The anti-silverfish bias on this board can be grating.
