So just a few days ago I told my dad: “When I first read that I was going to have to keep live crickets to feed the lizard I was worried that they would chirp all the time and be annoying. But they actually hardly ever chirp and when they do it’s just once or […]Read Post ›
Pascul is a Gemini (stereotype: energetic); Max is a Saggitarius (stereotype: naive); Milter is a Cancer (stereotype: laid-back); and Fumu is a Leo (stereotype: selfish). I’ve found yet another reason we need to invent time travel: so we can count lizards on a boat! Bear with me here. How many desert grassland whiptails (that’s a […]Read Post ›
No plot today, just some random trivia. As you may know, your personality is supposed to be affected by your zodiac sign. While I think the superstitions are rather silly, it’s fun to see if someone matches up or not. And yes, these are the characters’ actual signs. Megellan is an Aquarius (stereotype: contentious); Lola […]Read Post ›
#4 and #6 are really two variations on the same idea, but whatever. All the character’s surnames are modified from their species names. Thus: Blattella germanica = Tiku, Max Blatt Milleretta rubidgei = Milter Rubidgy Pantala flavescens = Lola Pantél Eoraptor lunensis = Megellan Lunen …ect. This makes it super easy to come up with a surname for a […]Read Post ›
Better late than never, right? These were intended to be print-out valentine cards. If you want to use them next year or something, you can just print out the image and cut the four cards apart; fold them and tape/glue them so that one side has the picture and the other side has the message.

My Betta fish, Alamagan (my second such fish–RIP Fuji), has a little artificial log in her bowl. She likes to swim into this log and hide there, but I’ve placed it so that a human looking into the bowl from outside can see inside the log. That way I can check if she’s in there. […]Read Post ›
Colby Jack is an action/adventure series. Also all the characters have cheese names. Is that too random? It seems pretty random. Here we have Gruyere (the evil mastermind), Monterey (the guy who talks first), Swiss (the insect), and Asiago (the one left over). Gruyere is a Lycaenops; Monterey is a Herrerasaurus; Swiss is a snakefly; Asiago […]Read Post ›
FIRST PANEL: That’s just some random Milleretta. It’s not Milter. Definitely not. SECOND PANEL: Henodus and its relatives are actually grouped with plesiosaurs, which are those long-necked sea monsters of the dinosaur age that look like the Loch Ness Monster…but since plesiosaurs are diapsids like lizards, whereas turtles are anapsids, technically… THIRD PANEL: Icthyosaurs…where to begin. These […]Read Post ›
And yes, every single character on this show is a pelycosaur of some sort. Megellan would definitely complain about the lack of racial diversity… A couple days ago my little brother and I went bug-hunting in the backyard. It was kind of surprising how many we found, considering the time of year. But it was […]Read Post ›
THIS IS THE 100th POST! Appropriately, we reached 800 views yesterday. It’s not a benchmark number, but it is a multiple of 100. Which is the number of this post. And since there have now been exactly 100 posts, I can get percentages without doing any real math! Wait…I love doing math. Shoot. Anyway, percentages! 96% of the […]Read Post ›
