Mantis Mansions.


I am constantly browsing the web for bizarre websites. I am a member of Stumble Upon, a social bookmarking site. The best thing about this application is you can download a toolbar that will "stumble" through websites you are interested in. I think this is great because my interests change weekly. For instance this week my interests are listed as: bizarre/oddities (of course), camping (I am an outdoorsy type, home brewing (I don't even like beer), exotic pets (I want to see what they mean when they say exotic), homemaking (because I haven't completely given up hope that someday, someone might want to marry me), and survivalist (cuz if shit goes down I want to be prepared but also cuz I enjoy the freak show that are survivalists). Today I discovered a site called Mantis Place, "where Mantis and bug supplies hang out". A website, I guess, for all your Mantis pet needs. I am amazed on how high maintenance a mantis is. They have Mantis Mansions, feeder insects (lesser unimportant insects) to feed your mantis and a mantis nursery just to name a few. Fuck these mantises ( or is it mantis' eh who cares nobody reads this blog anyway) live better than I do. Praying mantis have always freaked me out. No, I am not afraid of bugs I just don't like freaky lookin "stand on your hind legs like you want to tell me something" bugs. If you are a mantis lover and I have offended you well, piss off! You're a freak for owning, caring, breeding such a disgusting little insect. It's just creepy.
