How would you like to look after your very own Terence the Tyrannosaurus rex, Ollie the Ornithomimus or Sabrina the Smilodon populator?
These three creatures are all available as Prehistoric CyberPets for you to download and look after on your computer! If you have a PC, you can download a prehistoric CyberPet of your very own. Unfortunately, there aren't any mac-compatible CyberPets, so I am just going to have to cry about this injustice.

grrlscientist | March 25, 2006Looking for an unusual exotic pet? Why not get a pet Madagascar giant hissing cockroach, Gromphadorhina portentosa? Unlike most cockroaches, this one is bedecked with the finest Austrian Swarovski crystals, it has a leash to prevent it from running amok and, as an added bonus, this species is rather talkative, too.
My question, what do you do about all those little black turds on your white lapel??
Thanks, Dawn!

Well, I know that all three of you, dear readers, have been eagerly waiting to hear the latest news about (1) the ant farm that I bought as a birdday gift for myself and (2) the ongoing power bill drama with the unreasonable coneheads at ConEdison.
Good news first; the ant farm arrived today (yippee), sans ants (boo). The farm itself is smaller than I imagined it would be, which makes me wonder if this size discrepancy is directly related to the size of my eagerness to be an ant aunt?
I know this sounds silly but I am really disappointed by the lack of ants: I wanted to spend the evening…
