Every Wednesday I have a biology lab and I have got to do some fun things in this lab. One thing is that I dissected a squid. I also held a millepede. A hard thing to do, but fun also. Another thing that I have held is a hissing cockroach. I wasn't wanting to hold these things, but I decided to get over my fears and hold them anyways. Did you know that it is only really centipedes that are dangerous not the millepedes. Some millepedes do let a cynide gas out, but there are some that are dangerous like the one I held. Centipedes have pinchers(fanglike) that are by their legs and poison comes out of this. They are on their sides. Learning and trying new things is fun.

That would be fun to hold a hissing cockroach, considering I've been cursed with roaches for a long time. (hehe)
That reminds me of a class Eric was taking when we were dating, he actually did a bug collection for the class and I went with him a bunch of times to collect them in local rivers, etc. Some of them were pretty freaky. He loved it though! YOu crazy biology people (hehe)
Oh, cool! Paul and I have been watching a bunch of nature documentaries and we really love them. You're so cute, Ruth! I just love you!
