anyone into codes? the title above is in caesar cipher, which is pretty easy to crack, i guess. i love books and movies that are about solving puzzles. things like national treasure. even the da vinci code, though people like to b*tch about what a terrible book it is. i would kill to have a cryptex like they had in the movie. you need a code word to open it, and if you get it wrong, zap, the secret message inside is dissolved in vinegar. i bet i could figure out how to do something like that on a web page, too. if you guess wrong, it tracks your ip address and you don't get to try any more. you could go to a different computer, i suppose, but it would be hard. i could even have it delete the code if someone guesses wrong, but there are nitboys out there who would probably mess with it just to spoil it for everyone else. scratch that plan.
ok, enough about that. here's the puzzle for the day -- and you don't get to answer, bennie. what do you call wonder woman? is she a superhero, or a superher-ette or what?
and here's some cool trivia my dad told me. did you know that octopuses eat off their own tentacles when their environment gets stressed? i can't imagine anything being bad enough to want to munch on my fingers, but i guess you never know, do you?

Lots of animals self destruct under stress. People sometimes pull out their own hair -- even eyelashes -- it's called trichotillomania. Horses that are bored or stressed chew on the wood in their stalls and dogs will lick themselves until they get bald patches.
ReplyDeleteThe thing about octopuses (octopi?) is they're very intelligent, smarter than dogs and maybe even smarter than dolphins. They get bored and lonely when they're stuck in a small tank and voila! off come the tentacles.
It's interesting that there seems to be a universal tendency toward self-harm just as there is a universal tendency toward self-preservation. I suspect it's all in the brain chemistry and how it's percolating on any given day.
that's messed up. i heard about someone at school who used to cut herself. weirdness.
