Strange Animal Defenses

So I haven't done much on the animal kingdom but, I am a big fan. One of my most favorite shows is the Animal Planet's "Most Extreme." The insect pictured above is the Camponotus saundersi from Malaysia. This ant goes all suicide bomber and blows it self up when it feels threatened.

We Only Saw the Last-Minute Ending of Rise of Planet of the Apes

...where's my cataclysmic man-ape war?!

Well, that explains a lot. According to Badass Digest, the ending to the new Planet of the Apes movie originally was nothing like what any of us naive theatre-goers saw. Now, as much as I really, really enjoyed that movie (the CG was so fine I could have run up to the screen and rubbed myself all over it just to feel it's plushy awesomeness on my skin. I would have too if my feet hadn't gotten stuck to the floor with coca-cola marinated Mike 'n' Ikes), the ending threw me. I mean, where was the cataclysmic moment when they blew up the statue of liberty? They could have at least, I don't know...blown up SOMETHING. I mean, what's with these pacifist monkeys anyway? They were so justified. I was ready to watch sweet little Caesar eat someone in the end.

You don't steal Pikachu. You just DON'T.

Gee, did they think they were going to get away with that sort of copyright infringement? Ube City has a new eco-mascot, and it looks on heckuva lot like that ever-cuddly, thunderbolt-tailed icon we all (well, not all of us...but if you want to fit in with the younguns, just agree with me here) grew up with. Just take a look at the plushy below.

Schrodinger's Cat Tee

Finally, somebody has the good decency to warn the little guy. If someone had told that cat some 70+ years ago, we could have avoided a lot of stupid debate.
