Wow. Remind me to infest my apartment with preying mantises. Kick ass.

I just got a house cat. Someone had rescued a (roughly) 2-week-old kitten from some dire straights or another, and was looking to give it away. I've been trying to decide whether or not I want a cat, so I kind of took this as a sign from g-d (I don't believe in g-d, but I take signs from him all the time). Anyway, I've now got a tiny kitten that lives off evaporated milk. I've heard stories about cats killing scorpions, but I've also heard stories about scorpions killing cats. I think I'd commit suicide if this cat died of scorpion sting; I'd blame myself. Much better to fill the pad with mantises. They're ugly, but if ugly scared me, I'd never get laid.
