Legless lizard. Heh. Dwarf . . . bwahahahaha!
Scientists discovered legless lizard, a dwarf woodpecker and another 12 suspected new species in Brazil’s fast-disappearing Cerrado grasslands, an environmental group said Tuesday.
The local term for such grasslands being the pantpas.
None of these is quite as mind-boggling, however, as the multisock organism that emits such high-pitched squeals on the intartubes, known as the Tender-Assed Gleen.
One of those new species was a …three-banded armadillo…. Oops, I just saw the little guy vamoose in the southerly direction. Some kind of diversity gig…
A dwarf woodpecker?
I see the giant ivory billed woodpecker replacing the ‘dillo some day
a dwarf woodpecker is discovered and Gleen has a tender ass…. hmmmmmm

Right now I’m reading Ian MacDonald’s “Brasyl”, which describes a frog that can see individual quanta.
Which is why its eyes are bulging open, all the time.
Right. That was apropos nothing. I’m watching “South Park”, so I’m not all here.
“The Brown Noise” episode.
Yoko Ono sounds disturbingly like Kim Jong Il.
midgets, dwarfs, woodpeckers, and the gleeeeens. It is a nightmare. Couldn’t you just let me enjoy Baracky imploding today, Dan?

Alright Mr.G.,
It’s John Locke, and beautiful.
Save igorance, many heads be exploding at that concept.
pantpas – just might-could be dwarf Gauchos?
OK, Dan That’s it.
I am appealling directly to John McCain and Russ Feingold to SHUT YOU THE FUCK UP! Like all REAL Obama Americans, I have just had enough of your “Free Speech” bullshit. Just shut up and give me your money, because, as any moron knows, “It’s only fair!”
Where did you ever get the idea that you can say anything you want to?
Apparently, your world view didn’t come from the frigging “living constitution”, eh?. Where did you ever get the idea that the Constitution is meant to be interpereted in plain English? Uh-uh! No! No! No! “Pelosi” and “”Reid” are the cryptological keys to the real meaning of the Constitution.
If you know more than five hundred words of English, YOU ARE AN ENEMY OF AMERICA! And, probably have a half a clue about what the Constitution actuallu says. Jeremiah knowsw exactly what it says, if us folk were only smart enough to actually listen to him.
And by the way, Dan, why are you not paying for MY healthcare?
Fucking slackers…
OMG! Could The Lost Dog be in one of his moods tonight?
Well, it appears to be a possibility (That goofy little cheerleader went home before I could even turn the lights off……)
I’m posting this, even though Amanda might find it, and think that I’m serious.
Whatever. I can go face to face with Amanda when I am half asleep, and still kick her…uhh…thingie.
I don’t even know what to call it…
Sorry to anyone that is apalled – except for Amanda. Bozettes just sometimes really yank my chain a little too hard. And, Hey! Maybe it happened tonight, and I came home with a n attitude?
Hmmmm. See y’all tomorrow….
And even better, I just waw Chucky-Ucky Schumer on TV.
FUCKING PERFECT, HUH?
Nighty-night, everybody.
A legless lizard… that’s a snake, right?
“Hey, there’s a dwarf woodpecker in my pantpas!”
Don’t you have to call it a little people woodpecker?
A legless lizard… that’s a snake, right?
Or maybe they found a yuan-ti?
Well, slap my ass and call me Sally! I thought all legless lizards were members of the family Amphisbaenidae, but these are classified in the family Gymnophthalmidae. The bit about it using its pointed snout to move around suggests that they’re pretty closely related though. The Amphisbaenidae are largely subterranian and use their heavily boned snouts to burrow through the soil. Makes it sound like these critters behave quite similarly.
You would think that a legless lizard would be a snake, but their skeletal structure is actually quite different, with much more robust bones, particularly in the cranium. Most also have vestigial legs, while most snakes do not.

Oh. Thank you very much Mr. Science. You just had to bring reality to the thread and suck the joy right out of it;-)
