Two creepy animals rolled into one.
And I thought the Assassin Spider was scary.

Best not to click on that if you hate long necked, massive jawed spiders.

Unfortunately not the assassin spider (thing on the left)
You can see the abdomen and thorax at the bottom of the picture, and a really long neck, with one of the mandibles resting against it, the other impaling a... thing.
At least that's my understanding of it.

You know some experts reckon this is as far as humans are going to evolve, as we are building our world to suit us so well?

If what they've said is true (and I see no reason to quarrel with it)
then it is likely that our continued manipulation of the environment might put increased pressure on other species to survive, thereby triggering further evolution among them than might otherwise be the case.

I can see where you're coming from.
With all the deforestation and whatnot, animals, even as we speak, are evolving; maybe not physically but they are adapting to their ever-changing habitat.
I can see animals like pandas, who rely on us, becoming more... domesticated?

Ants are very helpful when my son comes to visit for the weekend. They carry off the crumbs and what-not that have fallen in those hard to reach areas.
Fortunately, I live in a clean multi-dwelling now, and have not had problems with anything in the roach family

actually a 3-conductor 16 gauge extension cord
EDIT: and true, the cord is not much more than 125% the diameter of a pencil, so it is a bit small.
When it was in my mouth, the legs would only reach from the left molars to just about 1/2-way across my tongue

I agree that they are both sad and wasteful...
However, the issue here is focus in the media, whilst each event in its own way is tragic, how can the death of a woman, who whilst she tried to seek help, did frequently refer to wanting to die like her idols, be compared to the unexpected and involuntary deaths of the kids and people in Norway?
Winehouse's Death was inevitable, she got what she expected. The people in Norway were just going about their daily business with no expectation of being shot and/or blown up!
Dead Celebrities (Unless they've done a great deal, for many years, to help the public cause) should be a news footnote, not the main focus when there are more important developments in the world to focus on...

In some ways glad it's ended this way to show the lifestyle's obvious failings as an aspiration.
Can't deny she had a damn fine voice when she was sober enough to use it tho, so there's some truth to the 'tortured artist' label.

^This all over.
I know some great artists out there do or did drugs (for example, Kurt Cobain), but they didn't make it their defining characteristic, like the select few.
And being critical here, I didn't really like Winehouse's music that much, but I guess that's just me. But seeing it from a universal standpoint, I agree that she did have a good voice when she felt like actually making music.
