This time, they refuse to stop at the macroscopic level, but instead are furthering their weapons of mass destruction at the microscopic level even more!
Remember people–it’s us or them.

The snails are invading!
V is for Vengeance … for escargot!
I see you over there Sci-Fi Channel, licking your chops.
Someone get me a chicken burger now
From now on in China, we shall remember this day, not as a victory over the vile avian species, but as … B-Day!
Beware the ires of the family rodentia
Far back in December of 2005, Russian squirrels attacked and killed a dog. Now, they’re back, and this time, they’re overseas.
Let the Southwest have fire ants. Here on the east coast, we’ve got killer squirrels.
War on animals: Mirrors of mass destruction
A study at the Bronx Zoo (motto: Please Don’t Shoot The Animals) shows that elephants may be aware of themselves. These things can outrun us and weigh over a ton.
Folks, if there is a single greatest threat against humanity, it has to be self-aware elephants.
Birdwatch: 2006
Those dastardly birds are after us again! Say no to cloning, otherwise we might be in for this. I mean, seriously, did you see that picture? And they’re calling it a freaking “terror bird”. Terror bird. That doesn’t exactly make you think of something warm, cuddly, and soft like a marshmallow.
Ahem. So in conclusion, we can’t let this monster be brought about again upon the world, because if we do, the terror birds win.
Stingrays strike back
They started the war with the assassination of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, then people started exacting their revenge for the senseless killing. Now, it seems the battle has reached our shores.
A stingray off the coast of Florida leapt into a boat and stabbed a 81-year old man in the heart with a poisonous barb. Luckily, the veteran of the war on stingrays and other animals has survived.
You can’t tell this blog that attack wasn’t premeditated.
Fun place to live
Think your city is fun? You might want to try moving to New Delhi, where monkeys harass locals constantly. The monkeys have gotten so bad, the Indian Supreme Court has ordered for 300 monkeys to be caught in the city and relocated elsewhere.
The war on animals continues, even if India is coddling them.
What is it with new species this week?
In keeping with the recent trends of this blog to cover artifacts and new species, have you ever heard of a rat-squirrel? Didn’t think so. Most non-paleontologists haven’t, since science was said it had gone extinct millions of years ago. That is until they found one this week.
In a modern-day coelacanth story (that story is so last century!), scientists found a live species of a family long thought to be extinct for 11 million years. It was found this week in Laos. Scientists say they are pleased to find an ancient species to study, and add that it is best served with a side of kimchi.

Caveat lobster
It would appear that France has discovered something furry other than the legs of their native female inhabitants.
A new species of crustacean has appeared off of the coast of Easter Island. So unique is this creature that it has genus. That’s fairly big for all of you non-biologist type people. Seriously people, the comparison between furry limbed crustaceans and French women with crabs writes itself.
Wonder how it tastes?
