JohnRich 4 #51 October 18, 2005 Quotealong comes another freakin' scorpion Holy schmoley! That one even scares me. Attached is the photo of one I found under a rock on a desert camping trip last weekend. I was about to pick up the rock to use it as an anchor for my tent. He was a little fellar, but could still be painful. I understand that the venomous ones have thick tails and small pincers, while the non-venomous types have thin tails and big pincers. The one in my photo would be venomous. It was interesting the way he flattened himself out to fit under the rock. Notice how his legs are folded up over his back, belly to the rock, and this tail is turned sideways. When I nudged him to make him move, he would tuck his legs under him, rise up on his legs, raise his tail and curl it over his back, extend his pincers out in front - and then hurry off.

boinky 0 #54 October 19, 2005 Yes Bryan, you've now officially named a scorpion. If you could let us know his relationship to the "family," it would be great! I'll add it immediately.

boinky 0 #55 October 19, 2005 Well Max, congrats! Your name has been chosen for the next dead scorpion. In all fairness, I didn't kill him, but he was in the house anyway, so I consider him fair game. It could've been the poison that got him...but glad it got him before he got me. #1-Scorpio #2-Scar, Scorpio's brother #3-Scorpiana, their sister #4-Sly, their mafia cousin #5-Skid, their country redneck cousin #6-Sarah, their socialite aunt #7-Shithead, their kleptomaniacal son with addiction problems #8-Squishy, the overly hormonal runaway preteen just out lookin' for a good time #9-Scrunchy, the poor bastard half-brother of Scorpio #10-Klaus, the famous singing distant cousin from Germany #11-Starsky, #12-Seth, their slow moving uncle His pic is attached. Never fear ya'll. It looks like you'll all get your chance to name one before it's said and done. And btw...while some are ridiculing me for my fear and how tiny they are...great things come in small packages. I would imagine that the sting from a small one is going to hurt no less than a sting from a large one. What I am lacking in quality, I'm definitely making up in quantity.
