never rely on your cell

...phone alarm. It might just be me. I can be a heavy sleeper at times depending on what went on the previous day. So I usually wake up @ 6 a.m. and leave by about 6:30. I had clinicals this morning and my alarm didn't wake me up. I ended up waking at about 6:40. but i did almost 90mph on the freeway and fortunately no highway patrol. made it just in time to the hospital 5 minutes late :). For some reason we started talking about amazing insects and animals that roam this planet. Here's what we managed to come up with
recluse spider- being bit by this spider will give you necrotizing fasciaitis (sp?). or just kill off the flesh in your skin on affected area.
vinegroon- spider/scorpion look a like. I forgot why it was so deadly but it just is.
coconut crab- claws big enough to grab a coconut. Steve-o in jackass made one pinch his @$$. now that's a vise grip.
and
pistol shrimp- I remember learning about this shrimp at 14th annual CFC YOUTH conference. The shrimp cocks back its claws like a pistol and releases all the potential energy. That potential energy heats up to the temperature of the sun and delivers a devastating blow to its prey, thus killing it. pretty neat.
