Spider On Top of a Frog On Top of a Turtle

Two local bloggers, Darren (the guy who designed cVillain and cvilleMUSE) and Wistar have the coolest picture I’ve ever seen on their blogs.  Is this not the cutest thing?

Apparently they found the frog, spider and turtle in this zen-like, survival state in their swimming pool filter.  Make sure you head over to their sites to read the full story.

    I think it’s the low-budget follow up to Snakes on a Plane.

    That is the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen. It makes me think about spirituality and shit.

    @general

    Darren is one of those hairy Greek gods of myth anyhow, i’m sure he WILLED this to happen and the animals all fell in line, moved by the Spirit or thus sorted by the tempest of his expansive thinking. Had no idea D was mixed up in Cvillain, etc. He’s my primary role model and hero.

    Actually that is the first photographic evidence of the worrying fad that is sweeping the amphibian world… called Spider-Hats. Innocent sleeping spiders are plucked from their webs and are taxonomically preserved and made into hats for wealthy frogs.

    It’s not a contest. And you know who really had it first? Darren. :) Pluswhich*, I’m pretty sure that there’s very little overlap in our readership, the average age here being somewhere around 23 and the average age at cvillenews.com being somewhere closer to 40.

    * That’s a word now.

    vice versa, perhaps? since Darren is PURE thought one assumes he could inhabit any form he chooses?

    i don’t think it’s a good idea to get too close to that kind of power, anyhow. Look at the picture, above, again… there’s no AFTER shot. who knows what his mercurial temper may have made the three beasties do NEXT.

    Shen is nice because she misspells stuff and speaks french and probably mixes up the dispenser-buttons for club-soda and tonic-water; Darren needs no speech, he is pure consciousness and transmits ideas by waveform or particle black-body radiance or some crazy shit like that.

    @9 Damn I read both. Perhaps I’m too old for here and too young for cvillenews.

    The spider-frog-turtle came to me in a dream last night and told me to appreciate life but not getting any work done today.
