Someone in our IT department checked the wrong box, and all our computers shut down for security updates. *cackle*. You'd think from the fuss that the four horses of the apocalypse were doing stunts in the aisle.

I decided after watching Paradise Lost yesterday that I quite fancy some wings. Actual real implanted wings that work, rather than clip-ons ;) Only problem is choosing between fluffy angel wings and evil bat wings. On the other hand a tattoo would sit more comfortably under my t-shirt :)

Eep, more wings...

My cousin actually had the outline of the bat symbol tattooed across his back. Ex got a custom tattoo that had some nifty wings in the small of her back. Brother has birds in quite a few places on his body (he'd be considered walking art).

Personally I plan on eventually (within the next couple years hopefully) of getting a tattoo of a cobra with its fangs sunk into the world on my shoulder blade, but don't feel like pricing and trying to find someone who can do the artwork.

Could always do an anaconda swallowing the world, too!

No anaconda! King Cobra or a rattlesnake!

Heym out of curiosity do you remember whether its the coral or king snake that's poisonous, I can never remember...

LOL - you guys have poisonous snakes! ;)

Damn straight!

The bigger problem is it's hard to tell the difference between the King snake and the Coral snake. One could kill you, and one isn't venomous at all. Very similar color patterns (the whole red and yellow, etc. can never remember it).

The arrangement of the colour bands is the giveaway (and reliable too). They're all red, yellow and black banded, but the ordering varies. If the red and yellow bands touch, then be careful.

Heheh - thanks. That did spring to mind, but then I read it in a Freak Brothers (http://www.freaknet.org.uk/pages/home01.html) comic, so I was sceptical!

Heh, good to know, but I'll forget it. Doesn't matter, I run screaming like a schoolgirl anytime I see a snake, no matter what kind it is.

I know its irrational, but that's why it's a phobia.

Hmmm... the small of the back sounds promising. I don't know if I can cope with having it done across my shoulders. And yeah - it's a hassle. Took me about 7 years to decide on mine. Then I had to wait to find a tattooist who did something I wanted AND had a good reputation. And unfortunately, the only good ones I know are in England :(
