Alright, so now that he can opener issue is history (until the current 'murica version meets the fate of all the other disposable metal junk). I am tackling another issue: My favorite animal. My kids are always asking what my favorite animal is.
Until this very night I did not know what my favorite animal was. None of them seemed to fit what I wanted in an animal; Beauty, easily underestimated, fierce predation, lives in water, uses finesse to kill, and almost having superpowers. It seemed that all water creatures were crude and ugly things. Then I found this: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp
Yes, my favorite animal is a shrimp.
