Well, see that? It needed to be said, and you should have, but didn't, so i had to fill in and as a result neufer threw a Beyond-toon at me, that really should have been a Nitpicker-toonNitpicker wrote:I knew you were going to say that (because I only just managed to stop myself from doing so).Beyond wrote:Plum(b) jelly or jam, is good alsoNitpicker wrote:You're a braver girl than me!

Re: Stream of Stuff
Ah yes. I had forgetted. Just too much stuff to keep track of at the Asterisk*, for me anyway. Must be part of neufer's going green plan. Recycling everything to get the most use out of it. It's plum(b) good, if you can do it.Nitpicker wrote:Neufer threw the same toon at me a while back. See:

But one must probe often to discover where the 'limits' are. 'Some' just do it more than others. ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Hmm... notice the band aid on the end of the finger.

Re: Stream of Stuff
I can't look at them without thinking of roly polies.

Yup! I feel sorry for the fish but none of them are harmful to humans. There are giant ones that look like huge, chubby roly polies which I actually think are cute.Pill-bugs can be considered pests of homes and gardens. They are, however, cherished among children, who enjoy keeping them as pets.

Re: Stream of Stuff
The Wikipedia link you posted, geckzilla, also had this to say-->They are sometimes caught and fed to pets such as lizards, but this is not recommended since those animals might become poisoned.

Re: Stream of Stuff
It's also surprisingly difficult to get the usual insectivores to eat a roly poly. I've never seen a lizard eat one and if you throw one in a spider web there is a good chance it will get tossed out like garbage or ignored until it falls off on its own. Not sure why. They seem to be inedible.

Re: Stream of Stuff
I've made soup from them. Very good, quite similar to lobster bisque (but they don't change color when you boil them). I can't speak for lizards, but they are most definitely edible- choice- to humans.geckzilla wrote:It's also surprisingly difficult to get the usual insectivores to eat a roly poly.

No more than lobster or shrimp. And you can always go for earthworms, which are pretty much no-skeletonny.geckzilla wrote:Well, yeah, they just seem so...exoskeletonny.

Re: Stream of Stuff
Sure, but there's a lot more meat-to-exoskeleton ratio for a lobster or a shrimp.

Re: Stream of Stuff
It's a lot easier to catch a thousand pill bugs than it is to catch one lobster, though. Heck, you could keep a farm of thousands on a small shelf in your garage.geckzilla wrote:Sure, but there's a lot more meat-to-exoskeleton ratio for a lobster or a shrimp.
