Hmm?!

Today when I was biking, I found one of these guys.


(My pictures didn't turn out well, this one's by someone named Svend Ove Jensen)

At first I thought it was a pokemon, but after some webternet research, I found it is an Arion Rufus, a kind of European slug. Sadly, it is not something I can catch in a ball and teach fighting moves. Maybe next time.

Also, if anyone's not keeping up with Nartzor (aka Naruto), this week's episode was a good fight, the kind we haven't seen in a couple years. It reminded me why I watch the series in the first place.

Earopean Slug? Are you sure you didn't accidently go to Seattle, Poland? I heard that it looks pretty simular.

I love Seattle, Poland! And Pat, is Earopean a type of hearing disability?

Anyways, hope that your bike-riding isn't ruining your gain-weight diet. You must be eating doughnuts for all five meals! Yum!

Weird Slugamon. Looks delicious.

Actually, Alli, Earopean is not a hearing disability at all. I once read in the Government Book of Irrefutable Facts that the name Earopean is the original title for the territory that is now known as Europe. Before the decline of the Roman Empire, the last emperor, Romulus Augustus, ordered a legion of men to conquer and rename a rather large amount a territory without anyone actually knowing about it. This smooth move was lead by a Roman leader known as Marcus Earonigus. The pathetically legion fell to the swords of German tribes; however, Earonigus had managed to plant a Roman flag into the ground. The flag stated that Rome had now forcefully, and behind everyone’s backs, taken land in which we will all now call: Earope. This angered all the people that were in this designated territory, but they all know the rule of sticking a flag into the ground. There is no disputing the law of flag-sticking-into-the-ground, no sir. Soon after the very important yet unrecorded event, the Roman Empire fell when Romulus Augustus was killed. The Roman grasp over Earope was gone; however, the name casually carried on, then forgotten, then remembered again, then banished forever, then after hundreds of years it was only slightly remembered, but remembered as Europe instead. That or I made a typo. Peaces out.
