Coastal NJ Posts: 34 | This is a tough one and I will give you some clues if nobody gets the right answer. | |
When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call the police. But then I got curious about it. I picked it up, and started wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns. - Jack Handey | ||

Site Editor Royse City, TXPosts: 1350 | Matt- Disgusting little Pthirid, that. Actually, the proper spelling is Pthirus pubis. Now I'm left to wonder, what on earth will Louis think about this? | |

Coastal NJ Posts: 34 | Dind Ding ding ding ding... Survey says: CORRECT! I found this little bugger and about 400 of his friends in my waders. It appears that they, like ephemoptera, need moist, nutrient rich environments to survive. WBranch wins this contest and I am sending him a broken vial of specimens to examine further. Anyone else want some specimens? Seems I have a surplus right now. | |

Administrator Bellevue, WAPosts: 2737 | Just when this thread is headed toward needing moderation, I, the only moderator, have decided to bail on it and not check back... you're on your own, guys. Good luck! :-P | |

Moderator Palmyra PAPosts: 3233 | If trout don't eat it, it doesn't get a reaction from me. . . . Hmmm . . . I wonder if they just might. OK, take several skinnydipping hippies (or politicians) in the Main Stem and some midge eating trout downstream looking for something new to munch on . . . Now for the extra credit part of the exam: Matt, what size hook do I need to tie an imitation? And Kroil, just how did they get in your waders? Who have you been letting wear them? . . . and do I need to rethink our proposed fishing trip (due to my answer to the first exam)? Much food for thought here. | |
