I don't believe PETA would approve. Perhaps if she asked the guinea pig what they thought... or maybe used a probe like those UFO dudes.

That looks like the moon with trees on it. Where is that?

It's called Lava Butte, about 8 miles south of Bend Oregon right next to Hwy 97. Part of the Newberry Crater National Monument.

Thanks for posting another great photo. P.T. Barnum is reputed to have observed, "there's a sucker born every minute."

Sticking with an animal theme, I am going to recycle a link to this video that I posted in another thread.

Ahh ok, the show is called Legend, with Richard Dean Anderson.. I honestly can't remember if it's any good or not, I just remembered the name one day and tried to find it. I wound up finding one really grainy episode on youtube.

My friend made this at white spot (sugar and straw wrapper). Wacka Wacka Wacka

Pac Man. Took me a minute, even with the hint.

I can't remember the show you're talking about.
