What is the dumbest thing you have ever heard?

Asking if thawing brings the mice back to life is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard though :laugh:[/QUOTE]

Hmmm....did you know that there are frogs around which can come back to life after thawing ?

:licklips:

well, maybe you had to be there but he was making it out to be some monster that would kill me in my sleep : /

Hopefully the one I'm getting will stay small, it's parents are so I really do believe I'm getting what I want in a hog. I'm going to do more research anyway, but I've always heard then stay small (smaller than normal BCI's)

*chuckle* It'll only kill you in your sleep if you let it sleep in your bed next to you every night and notice it goes off its feed and starts stretching out beside you.....

As for staying small, seven feet is smaller than the typical female BCI (and for that matter, I've seen male normal BCIs that exceeded eight feet) - are you getting a male Hog Island?
 
This MIGHT seem to be a dumb thing to say, UNLESS you already knew my family! Well, you already know snakes don't go over in a positive way with my mommy dearest. But upon hearing that I've added a snake to my brood, most of my family goes, "So......you catch mice for this thing??"

Now let me explain. When I was growing up, my mother had a permit to rehab wildlife. So we had the normal pets, one dog for retrieving the waterfowl dad hunted and a cat for pest removal. We also had a steady supply of immature or wounded raptors in a cage out in the barn. Mom would usually feed them mice stolen from our cat who was a rabid hunter, or very fresh roadkill found locally. ( She did this one time when I had a couple of friends ride home with me from elementary school. Is it any wonder I had few friends growing up???) She would also steal the cat's catch and throw it in the freezer if we didn't have a hawk or owl to feed because we probably would sometime in the future. :puke02: This also went over big when we had suburban visitors!

So when my family discovers that I go to the pet store to buy frozen mice for this snake, they're kinda----confused!:confused:

Yep, all opinions and theory's aside, as far as I know it's a safe bet male hogs are smaller than females.

His viv is build and I'm picking him up Friday, still thinking of a name though.
 
Just got this in an email and immediately thought of this thread. :) I snope-afied it, and it's not true, but figured I'd share it none-the-less.

POSSIBLY THE BEST ANSWER TO A STUPID QUESTION -- EVER

Katie Couric , while interviewing a Marine sniper, asked:
'What do you feel.......when you shoot a Terrorist?'

The Marine shrugged and replied, "A slight recoil."

Western spadefoot toads can be frozen solid then thawed back out and hop away from it.

I'm going to h*ll for this...You can take a house fly, put it in the freezer, take it out, tie a thread around its neck, and it thaws out and you have a Fly Kite. (Cut the thread to set it free!) I read it in a book, and my daughter and I verified it.

This made me remember what we did back in 6th grade i think it was. Some of the guys would take a strand of a girls long hair...catch a fly...tie the hair around the neck and create their own 'fly kite'....though i think they referred to it as their pet fly on a leash.
 
How 'bout the stupidest thing I've ever said? Would that work beings that somebody else heard it? Anyway......

I was hanging out at my best-friends house after a night of partying and I had a crazy craving for a popsicle. I asked her if she had any and she said "yeah, go ahead and get one." What did I reply? "Where do you keep them?" I was told the oven and I seriously had to think about it for a minute before I realized what a stupid question I had just asked.
 
The most obvious (I can't believe nobody posted this yet) is how much corn does my corn snake eat?
Then I've gotten people that say "Oh yea, those snakes that eat corn. I've heard of them".
