Filler: Giant pink slug

So, I have a half-finished craft post, but…ASD.  Have you ever considered that ASD could also stand for Autism Spectrum Disorder?  I recently considered that.  But I’m not talking about autism.  Just motivation issues.

Thus, I present to you this giant pink slug!

They recently discovered these in Australia.  Or perhaps, they recently confirmed that these are only found in a very small area of Australia.  I’ve seen conflicting reports.  I’m more inclined to believe the second one.

Apparently, they’re a remnant of when Australia was rainforest.  They would have gone extinct long ago except that a volcano in the area erupted and created an alpiny forest around it that could support the slugs (and several species of carnivorous snails).

So there you are.  Giant pink slugs.  Oh, I forgot to tell you how large they are.  They’re a bit larger than 7.5″.  Hence the “giant” that I appended in front of “pink.”  Nod.

Environmentally conscious forever!

Did you know this was a thing? I did not know. But apparently, people will make Priuseseseseses into hearses. I guess when being environmentally friendly means a lot to you? Means the most to you?

FYI, this one didn’t look like it was constructed well. It kind of looked like a hack job. The hearse shell didn’t fit well on the rest of the body of the Prius. And there was a very noticeable gap where the shell joined the rest of the body.

I don’t know why anyone would want to make this modification to their Prius. And I don’t know how any professional doing this particular mod would get any money for their work. Really, it was a terrible job.

But anyway, just making you aware of this option.
