    I like the juxtaposition of the usual invasive species problem.


    That said, nothing on earth is tougher than the rat, and nothing destroys ecosystems quite like the common rabbit.


    Also, I'd love to know what the scientific justification of 'eco-death matches' is.

    @Belabras shot the food: But the Hender's rat has a symbiotic relationship with bees, so it has a beehive on its back, and that way it can shoot bees.

    Ever since I transcended human desires I've been only able to stomach characters with at least four dimensions. I'll prolly add this to my wishlist and see if I ever get through my current stack.

    @crashedpc : ゴキブリ and 蟑螂 division: You're in luck then, becuase the monsters in this book exist in I think like 12 dimensions. One of those dimensions is reserved entirely for animals with blue blood that eat rocks and look like clover.

    @TemporalSword: If audiobooks continue to exist, I say yes.


    @Annalee Newitz: Shit yes, it's on now!


    Plus, insane flora and fauna are always awesome. Maybe this will get bumped up to near the top of the list. Still working on The Iron Council.

    Um--late to this deranged conversation--so, uh, Crashed, what's all this "transcended human desires talk?" You just joined us robots or what? If so, good to have you on our side!


    Lemme get my nickel plated, heirloom sledge here and let the human bashing commence!

    @corpore-metal: I've always been a robot. The last half year or so has been an elaborate self-Turing test to make sure everyone is nice and used to my presence.


    That hasn't worked out too well, though.
