Was just watching BBC Points West when there was a story about this weird animal that's just been born at Bristol Zoo. It's called an "aye-aye" and looks exactly like the evil rat-monkey thing from Brain Dead/Dead Alive.

Apparently they get killed on their native island of Madagascar because they were thought to be ill omens due to their appearance :-(

I used to date a girl who was fucking obsessed with those things. They have a massive "toilet claw" which they also use to winkle grubs out of logs.

If you think that's ugly, the adult ones ain't much better - and she had them plastered all over her halls of residence room.

She was exceptionally good in the sack though, so I guess that more than made up for it.

Ah saw that this morning in metro, they're kinda cute once you stare at them for a while but i think its a hypno-toad effect.

Reminds me of Ren, that's no bad thing, well as long as it doesn't have his ear lice.
