dying.

Dieing?

I'm tired and my starfish melted, gimme a break! ;-)
Where was spell check when I needed it? fixed.

Oh my GODS.

"The arms crawl away in opposite directions from the body until they rip themselves off".

Then it shows footage of an amputated arm, crawling away on its own. That's straight from a horror film. FUCK.

↑↑↑ Horror titles...

Night of the Starfish
Death Star (fish)
Star Light, Star Blight
Echinodermocalpyse
Countdown: Sea Star

Oh, the Asteroideanity

just got back from Maine.... someone there who has lived their whole lives in Maine says the lobsters are leaving Maine waters, moving North. things are changing

That's pretty scary too but starfish are a keystone species, meaning when/if they go, the entire ecosystem changes...again. I've heard stories here in the west that the anemones are having trouble because the shellfish that the starfish ate are now taking over the tide waters and displacing them...I wonder what happens when the anemones go, surely something else needs them in order to live, and something needs that thing...and so on, and so on....talk about a slippery slope (pun intended).
We need a "we're all going to die" channel. :-)

One more try....since this isn't getting air time anywhere but PBS and I feel that people should know about it.....
