One small thing, and one large thing!

I was going through my photos, in preparation for uploading yet more on my website, and what do you think I found from last spring?
` Does anyone remember that post I wrote about the poor news reporting of the Texas 'Chupacabra' that was obviously a mangy canine even before DNA testing, among other similar incidences?
` I made this drawing for clarification - and you can click to make it larger and skerrier!

chupacabracoyote While the Texas Chupacabra turned out to be a coyote, the one in the drawing most closely resembles photos of red foxes I've seen with most of their fur destroyed by the mange parasite.
` Skerry also is the fact that some people actually believe that these foxes are Chupacabras, too!

Though I may be skipping yet another quarter in college, I still have something to show for what I did for Anthropology class last spring. The project was supposed to be a poster relating to food in some way.
` My chosen topic was the impact of fire usage had on early humans, and though I had been deathly ill for over a month at that point, I gave a surprisingly energetic fifteen minute speech about as much detail on the subject as I could muster.
` It was actually kind of sad because the only people who were listening were two overwhelmed-looking students trapped before an overly-enthusiastic me and this large board.

Basically, the middle part illustrates my thesis of how learning to break down food (by cooking it) affected human physiology - the left panel focuses more on teeth while the right panel is about the relative sizes of our guts and brains and why being able to cook would change them.
` Sound weird? Well, it probably won't if you read what it says - just click on the photo and then click again to magnify!

anthropologyposter Not too shabby, eh? Well... that's what I thought, too, until I found out that it had won me a 'D' for being... well... shabby.
` Very shabby.
` I learned that day that anthropology classes are not art classes. Who knew?

In current news, we lost two of our crew of six, but we'll still be able to afford the house... not the mansion we were going to move into earlier this month, but a crackhouse that we're helping to remodel for a major discount. All kinds of other weird stuff's been happening, too.
` Though we were supposed to be moved in by today, it'll probably be several more days. But hey, at least there's only four of us once again in this tiny room!
