I can´t sleep, so have a repost for the compo:

edit: After looking at this for a while, I noticed two things: the explosion looked red in my old monitor; and I can vaguely see Chump´s silhouete behind 'AT&T'

I am a botanist.
By the way, I ask vegetarians to stop eating plants, as I need them to work.

an arguement i like.
are you in research botany or what?
i on'y asks because one of my degrees is/will be zoology, and i have yet to find a practical, paying use for it. so i inquire of those in sort of similar fields.

I´m producing the knowledge that I will eventually use on more practical projects in the future (like conservation, environmental education, aplication of endangered wild plants on medicine, landscaping, or any other use that would promote their preservation, etc.).
But I will fatally end up as a school teacher, if everything else fails.

maybe become one of a very few world experts on caecilians. that would be fun.
and then, ideally, i would draw them.
and make money.
i will probably end up teaching art and hating my students.

how many times i have heard variations of that joke :)
the problem exacerbated by the fact that no one's ever heard of the critters.

In fact, all I know about Caecilians is that they are... sticky. I don´t know if there are any native from here.
Edit: I just checked. Yes, there are a few species here. But I could have confused them with worms, if I ever saw one.

they're native most everywhere, so far as i know.
so ubiquitous and so understudied!
they live everywhere yet people are unaware of them!
*stops self before getting really warmed up to the subject*
edit: yeah, but they are AMPHIBIANS!
and some are pretty damn big.

bigger than that.
I also saw a sketch of some skull. Do they have teeth?

most of them do, anyways. there might be a couple that have evolved out of them.
edit: the largest known species as of 2000 was 5 ft long. they may have discovered a bigger one by now, i en't sure.

they'll just end up baiting it on the end of a nice sharp hook and trying to catch a bass

but i'd hate to see them try it with one of the bigger species.

since that's what they are.
they're mostly burrowers, with some aquatic species. some are really brightly colored. they have ringlike folds in their skin, almost like segments but not reeeally. some give birth to live offspring. they have skeletons an' all that.

And let me repost my pic from last night, which displays for all my staggering psychic powers, since the challenge wasn't announced until several hours later....
