[NSFW] Stupid & Random Thoughts

Organic White Cheddar Doritos are the very best kind of Doritos ever invented (so far), FYI.

Meet the 'cat-fox,' a mysterious mammal found in Corsica that could be a new species

A feline once thought to be a myth has been identified on the French island of Corsica, according to wildlife officials. "The cat-fox is part of our shepherd mythology.

From generation to generation, they told stories of how the forest cats would attack the udders of their ewes and goats," Carlu-Antone Cecchini, the wildlife office's field agent in charge of forest cats, told AFP.

Researchers began tracking the population of elusive, nocturnal animals in 2008 when a cat-fox got caught in a chicken coop, French radio broadcaster Radio France Internationale reported.

Since then researchers have identified 16 cat-foxes on the island, the news outlet said, 12 of which have been captured, examined and released.

Wildlife officials were able to determine the animal's genetic makeup by studying traces of fur, Pierre Benedetti, chief environmental technician of the hunting and wildlife office, told the AFP.

"By looking at its DNA, we could tell it apart from the European wildcat, Felis silvestris silvestris. It's close to the African forest cat, Felis silvestris lybica, but its exact identity is still to be determined," Benedetti said.

The cat-fox's diet, reproductive patterns and exact origin are still a mystery, but Benedetti hypothesized the animal may have been brought to Corsica by farmers around 6500 B.C.

“If this hypothesis is confirmed, it's origin would be considered Middle Eastern," Benedetti told French radio. "Ultimately, we would like to see this cat recognized and protected.”

 

I like cheese and stapling balogna to my face.

 

Thanks for the tip but I like plain Doritos which I use with Emerald Valley salsa, the best commercial salsa I've ever had. We doctor up the salsa a tad with extra jalapeno and sweet yellow onion. Wash that down with a favorite ice cold beer and you're in nirvana, my friend. You may thank me later.

 

Rented a Kia Optima over the weekend. Pretty solid car.

I'm pretty sure they were referring to the O back in the day. I just thought it kind of humorous. I think they drew a lot of homeless, and/or less fortunate folks.
