But underneath Goji-chan there was nothing but a semi-dark corridor with some Japanese restaurants lined up in the area, if you were curious.

Stumbling across Goji-chan (Godzilla) at Haneda airport Terminal 3 today

Cheshire Muser@cheshiremuser· Apr 18

2 more that have been kicking around. Of these two I find it comforting to see Goji-chan (Godzilla for Westerners) obliterating the fake Doctor and his regime into oblivion. The Dalek Doctor would take too long compared to Goji-chan.

Dalek posing as The Doctor prepping to EXTERMINATE patient. But the text reads “Shock as Dalek posts AI image of itself as Jesus”

Personally I think it’s a missed opportunity because having the Dalek as The Doctor is a better use of irony than Jesus in this context and meme. Oh well.

2 images:
1) showing 47 portraying himself as The Doctor as Goji-chan (Godzilla for westerners) looms in the background.
2) second image shows Goji-chan fire breathing on 47 and obliterating the fake Doctor and his regime into oblivion.

Taken from the "We trust in love" This visual by Kaoru Yamada does reflect the pale autumn night I see around me in the eves of the PNW (Pacific North West) these days... “It was the best kind of November day. Cold and crisp, but not quite freezing, not icy.” ~Rainbow Rowell Art 𝐊𝐚𝐨𝐫𝐮 𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐚

Pale blue autumn evening under a full moon of a village in twilight, with reflections of houses near a pond or lake, with trees bare of leaves in the foreground, also reflected in the water.

Poisons in the Animal Kingdom
Science View

There are many dangerous creatures in the natural world that use poison for self-defense or for hunting, such as poisonous snakes, spiders and scorpions. It is said that there are more than 200,000 species of poisonous animal on Earth, each with varying degrees of toxicity. Research is currently underway around the world to make these animal poisons useful to humans. For example, a major feature of biotoxins is that they target particular molecules. This "specificity" can produce different results on different targets. This feature is being applied in the development of drugs with minimal side effects and pesticides that only attack pests. Researchers explore the possibilities of a "treasure trove" of poisons.
