Huh, I guess I alway just assumed that Lost One was a male.

"It was briefly associated with Prince 'Vlad the Impaler,' whose cruelty inspired novelist Bram Stoker's creation, the vampire Count Dracula. History says he spent one night there."

This article on MSN really made me feel good:

You frighten me.
Incidentally, I'm very disappointed. The coolest thing armadillos do (besides wield samurai swords) is leap straight up. I didn't see a single picture of an armadillo in mid air on that site.

I am unfamiliar with such an armadillo. Needless to say, that would be the coolest armadillo ever.

actually, in all seriousness, they do leap. Usually when they're frightened. It's quite comical. I've got a picture book full of photos of them. I now wonder why anyone would want to look at a picture of an armadillo if it wasn't a foot off the ground, legs sprawled out, tail dangling. Of course this also always makes me imagine them leaping when a car is "charging" them, then they get slapped into the front grill, and either stick there like something out of Looney Tunes or else are flung to bounce off something else as they roll into a ball.

I may need some help.

I really don't think that website qualifies as "Cool Stuff", Jack.

Two awesome stories from Yahoo news today.

Why I don't paraglide.

What not to do if you're a Wookie impersonator.

Some favorite quotes from the second one:

From a police lt.--"The lesson here is you can have the force with you," Vernon said. "You just can't use illegal force."

What the impersonater said: 'Nobody tells this wookie what to do."

There is just no way you are the pine-scented air. --Billy Collins, "Litany"
