I am coming round to them. I thought they were pish until I saw one dance.

Ralph's presence tonight appears to have induced more to hatch. Up to three baby ones now!

They are also phone to MRI. Many invertebrates can be fun. Why else would God have made more of them than vertebrates? Logic!

Mrs M needed cheering up so we bought a new pet on the way home. She is called Zoe.

Which may explode Ralph's mind as it could be misinterpreting mixing animals.

Well, there's also a zebrafish.
I guess that makes what we normally refer to as a zebra, a zebra-horse.
*Googles zebra tarantula*
Yes, the perfect gift to cheer up any wife, I would think.

It's not like you have to pet them or anything...
Zoe is currently eating her first cricket with us.

Martin Ah yes, zebrafish. I wouldn't mind some again. Mrs M pulled a very sad face when I said we could go back tomorrow and get the spider then if she really wanted it. Zoe came home today.

Zoe's tank has now been kitted out with a coconut house, foilage and a new type of softer substrate. She is living in luxury compared to the others!

Mrs M now wants to go to an invertebrate trade show in Halifax in a couple of weeks.
What a woman.

I was thinking... Some of the creatures that we call stick insects are probably sticks in disguise. I mean, think about it logically - if you were a stick and wanted to disguise yourself as an animal, you'd surely go with stick insect, wouldn't you? It doesn't make sense for sticks to even think about trying to disguise themselves as any other kind of creature. So be on the alert!

Martin So what you're saying, Martin, is that life for a stick insect is like constantly re-enacting the terrifying events of The Thing?

Or an in vivo MRI scan.
