technabob quickpix: when a picture is worth 1000 words

praying mantis vs. mouse cursor

It took quite a while for the Master of the Mantis-style to realize that even the most powerful strikes won’t work on his seemingly defenseless enemy…

praying mantis vs mouse cursor

…because his enemy wasn’t real. Whoa. That was Zen-like.

Don’t fear for the insect folks, it was released into the wild after the enlightening encounter, hungry but wiser than ever before.

    I was even more impressed by the Mantid’s ability to bark. Now that’s something!

    Just think how many mouse cursors there would be out there in the wild, ruining people’s picnics and getting splattered on windscreens if it wasn’t for the tireless effort of the lowly, but noble Praying Mantis. And here you are teasing the poor creature, making it angry. Just wait until it stumbles across an open barrel of toxic waste and mutates to gigantic proportions! Just you wait! Then this little episode won’t seem so funny, will it? Revenge! REVENGE!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
