The Warning Signs of Adulthood

If you are between 25 and 34, this may hit close to home. Nikki Limo runs down the warning signs of that dreaded condition known as adulthood. It’s a gradual process, but the realization comes over you at once. It’s terrifying. Those of us who have accepted the inevitable can just laugh at your misery. This video contains NSFW language.

Pssh! If she was really suffering from adulthood, she wouldn’t be using oven cleaner on the stovetop. Believe me, you only do that once. And the part about not wanting to put in the effort to learn a new technology didn’t hit me until I was 50. Otherwise, this is pretty spot on. If all your favorite songs are oldies and you buy a refrigerator, your childhood is over for good. -via Digg

I always figured that's where they got the idea? Anyway, what about those little round things in tide pools? I always enjoyed poking them and watching them scrunch up. And those are hardly the only organisms which exhibit such behavior.

I'm pretty sure the idea came from the polychaetes, a class of annelid worms. Yes, they're animals and worms.

As whiterabbit said, I think it's based on "Christmas tree worms" (Spirobranchus giganteus). Here a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVJcBRqzr8Y

There are also tube worms that do the same thing in coral reefs. But as almost every one else has said, corals aren't plants.

Cola: tide pools where? There are lots of different critters in different tide pools all over the world.

Pandora envy sweeeps the nation! That is really cool though, makes you think the creators of the film had based the plants on this exact species.

Zava, tide pools in Oregon. I'm pretty sure these critters are common in this climate. I can't seem to find the species, though. It's some kind of anemone. It looks like a little green mouth with fuzzy lips and it scrunches up and closes when you touch it into a little brown lump.

Everything on Pandora was based (in most parts) on stuff you find on Earth. I don't know why people are so surprised to find similar stuff here...
