I got a digital camera for Christmas. I'm going to use it now.

In this thread, I'll take a picture (hopefully one a day) of a random thing near me. I'll share it with you, my friends, along with any type of story that goes along with it. It probably won't be too entertaining, but you never know. Also, there's a better than not chance that I'll soon decide that it's not fun. I'll then stop doing it.

Everyone is free to contribute to this thread with random shit around them. The more the merrier.

Without further ado...

This is a picture of a scorpion which has been made into a glass paperweight. I'm not exactly sure where it came from. I think my parents brought it back from kansas once when they went to see some family out there...but not positive. Also, it's not mine...although I have been accused of destroying the felt pad which rests on its underside. Either way, there it is.

I have a few questions. First of all, is the scorpion inside actually real? My guess is yes, and I'm quite sure that the manufacturer would claim the same...but what's to keep them from putting a fake scorpion in there? Nothing. Nothing at all. It's not like people are going to go to the trouble of chipping away at the half inch of glass in which the creature is encased. I sure as hell amn't.

Another question: Was this scorpion caught for the sole purpose of being covered in a semicircle of glass? I think it's a fair question. Is there a squadron of scorpion hunter/paperweight makers out there in the desert with sacks and sacks full of miniature fuckers like this one? I really don't know, but I sure would like to.

You may have noticed that the paperweight is resting upon an exotic pillow. This pillow is older than I...I think. Again, not mine, but I sure am a fan of it. You can clearly see a bear to the right of the piece. Above it is a lion, to the left a leopard, and below is a large tiger's head. To the far right, even to the right of the bear (which I can only assume is a Sexbear) is a zebra. A fucking zebra. He would be absolutely torn to shreds by the other animals on the pillow. What a pussy. It's like a horse with stripes. Pussy.
