Wolverine newt
The Spanish ribbed newt activates its ribcage like mini switchblades when threatened, forcing them through its own skin. Even more remarkable, the newt's highly adapted immune system and collagen-cased bones allow it to heal quickly and without risk of infection. Take that Magneto!
Top 10 Unanswered Questions in Geeky Movies
From Wired:3. Gremlins: Feeding after midnight - Don’t get them wet; OK, fine. Don’t expose them to sunlight; sure, why not? Don’t feed them after midnight; um, how’s that again? If you can’t feed them “after midnight,” at what point during the day does it cease to be “after midnight” so you can feed them again? For that matter, how does the mogwai know what time zone it’s in? Suppose I get my mogwai in New York and then take a vacation to San Francisco — should I not feed my mogwai after midnight Eastern Time or Pacific Time? And what about Daylight Saving Time? Considering the consequences, these details seem pretty important.

Best quote from this SMH article:
He denied swearing at the staff, claiming that he was swearing "about life in general".
Surrogates: a one sentence review
Surrogates is a good movie, just as long as you haven't seen A.I., Minority Report, Terminator 3 and every other movie in the world.
Italian Tomato Garden
An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work as the ground was hard.
His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over… I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried.
Love, Vinnie
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologised to the old man and left.
The next day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you, Vinnie

Dan
1. Yeaaaahhh! (not biased at all)
2. February report (I like the posts that we make ourselves, rather than paste a video from somewhere else)
3. Business time (except this one because its pretty much used every time one of us talks to another)
4. Wolverine pod cast (cause you know you've made it big when you've done a pod cast).
5. Instant Christian Bale rant (see reason no. 3)
There's funnier ones than these ones but in general, I voted for posts that one of us actually took the time to create from scratch.

The best of the best
In the next 2 weeks, say, can we each nominate the 5 best Ghost Mutt posts of all time?
For example, one of my faves is The Ghost Mutt Horatio Caine Tribute.
I'll start another post with a list ready to add to. Obviously you can nominate any post.
Then we can vote* on the best of the best and it will be awarded THE GREATEST GHOST MUTT POST OF ALL TIME (so far).
What do you think?
*Paulie, can you set up some kind of voting system? Should take you 5 minutes, max.
