Quite a lot of animals and insects do something similar to this, actually.

I busted out laughing, reading his postings and all of his guests comments, too.

I enjoyed all of your guests' comments as well and they're just as funny. I know why I keep coming back to your site. You are a very witty person. The kind of person everybody would like to hang out with. I shall go now and visit horatio salt's blog to see what's all the hoopla going on in his site. hehehetashabudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707659728810975773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-58371317494864253272008-05-14T20:58:00.000+10:002008-05-14T20:58:00.000+10:00Doing a sex change!!??

And Horotio's posts always get me laughing out loud. Often because its so off the wall I often wonder if you really did just read that stuff. I think you, on the other hand, have the best blog for all the important political and social issues we all should be across. I learn something every time I visit because you research topics really well and always argue your views well. I just talk about a bit of this and a bit of that and unfortunately I have this happy knack of taking a serious story and turning it into something a little funny. Unintentionally mostly.Lilly's Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-71723176045230958752008-05-14T20:15:00.000+10:002008-05-14T20:15:00.000+10:00@ horotio salt - Most of my posts, which are about my life and real, ARE a little strange. Least you have a disclaimer on your site stating your stories are not true. Imagine how you would be if they were even slightly true but then again, how does one get that level of creativity without some experience to draw from.... <BR/><BR/>@ Rachel - hello there, thanks for dropping by - its kind of a cute story!Lilly's Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-52065261372418471782008-05-14T12:21:00.000+10:002008-05-14T12:21:00.000+10:00Lilly, thanks for the heads-up on Horatio's site. It's hilarious. Also, I like that you want to concentrate on happier and funnier things because you are so good at it. You make me laugh as few can. Leave the somber stuff to me. lol Take care.Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00994185648078518634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-57917369848113229502008-05-14T10:05:00.000+10:002008-05-14T10:05:00.000+10:00Oh this is just too rich!

WOW - I am honoured that you would give me 5 star rating. I am a bit of an amateur blogger but really enjoy it and get annoyed when work interferes with this hobby. I am just surprised anyone reads it but I am glad you enjoy my mad experiences. I will come by and visit your new site!<BR/><BR/>Jakill - thanks so much for dropping by - yes its pretty fascinating all right. I cant figure out human behaviour so I turned to fish instead.<BR/><BR/>Robin - I totally get where you are coming from on the whole Horatio Salt angle. He he...I heard the Gobi story on the radio briefly the other day and it stopped me in my tracks. Now you know all about the wonders of nature and how clever creatures are but I was truly impressed with the humble Gobi. And you are so right, we females of any species dont give ourselves enough credit. But these Gobi Gals are warrior princesses. And whats more, the female Gobis may lay the eggs but the males have to sit on them which means they cant play the field because they can only sit on so many of their darling offspring at once. Hilarious but truly fascinating!! And obviously form my level of interest in this, I may indeed need to get out more...Lilly's Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-20800468734745838312008-05-14T06:40:00.000+10:002008-05-14T06:40:00.000+10:00OH MY GAWD LILLY!!! Where do you find this stuff??? Only YOU would come up with an a story like this. If it were anyone else....hmmm...Horatio Salt for example...(Hi Horaito - said very sweetly with a twinkle in my eyes)...AS I WAS SAYING...if it was anyone else I would probably think that HE made it up. LOL :) But since it is YOU and you are extremely witty BUT HONEST (are you still reading Horatio?), I know this weird story has to be the gods honest truth. Right? <BR/><BR/>Now, I think the reason the females change sex more readily is because THEY are the SMART ones. They sure as heck aren't going to miss out on one single opportunity. See we females just don't give ourselves enough credit. We know what we want and how to get it. :) :) LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAH Okay then, I'm outta here!RainforestRobinwww.nakedineden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-2578075055786400922008-05-14T01:24:00.000+10:002008-05-14T01:24:00.000+10:00Fascinating, and yeah, quite funny too.

Love your blog. I started a new project at my sites. I have started listing blog sites i come across that i think are 5 star. Yours is my first listing.

Thanks for dropping by.<BR/><BR/>Horatio salt - you are to blame as you told me to examine ants when the big issues are too overwhelming, if you recall. Gobis kind of took my fancy for all of a few minutes. Oh dear, come to think of it then, I have met some Gobis in my time too it seems.<BR/><BR/>Pinay jade - it is kind of fascinating, particularly given all these creatures have quite complex social systems. Makes us human look a bit ordinary really. Lovely to have you dropping by - love the look or your site BTW.<BR/><BR/>Matt - see you Texans are always polite but you did pick me in one -just plain weird. You know what it is, I think I have had my fill of horrible news stories and want to focus on something just plain ridiculous. Speaking of which, have you ever visited Horatio salt's site - Wundurful Wurld - you haven't seen weird until you see this site - very funny. Sometimes I have to read it with the help of a dictionary. Good to see aid is now being allowed in to Burma - but then now look at whats happened in China.
