    His knee surgery's gonna sideline him for the whole year. Shame, I was really looking forward to seeing him play. I hope this doesn't set the tone for his whole career, the NBA needs players like him.

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - **SPOILERS**

    NASCAR - why so popular?

    I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, I just want to know why so many people seem to enjoy NASCAR. I've tuned in to it before, and it seemed to me that it was just cars driving.

    Sea Apples

    Now if you've read my Nudibranch thread, relax, I don't want a Sea Apple as well. However, I do have one big question about them: about a year ago I went to the Sydney Aquarium (incredible) and they had a touch pool with a Sea Apple in it. It was pretty big, roughly the size of both of my fists...

    Nudibranches

    Is there any method of sustaining a Nudibranch by itself in an aquarium? I understand that Nudis have a poor track record in being kept, but I can't find any information on a species-only tank.

    Things That are Neat

    Strange Bug

    I was talking to my grandmother the other day, and somehow the conversation drifted to insects. She brought up something very interesting, and, if it is real, I've never heard of it.
