Mantis Mania.
A friend of mine posted this over at http://new-worlds.org/blog/?p=2243. Here's her story:

"This mantis egg pod started hatching little mantises on the 26th of April. I thought it was empty because of the masses of mantises that exited so a few days later I brought it inside. I was going to cut it open and take pictures of the interior structure. Fortunately, I didn’t get around to it right away. I discovered that more mantises were hatching. Now I’ve been rounding up baby mantises from all over the house and taking them outside. The egg pod is also back in the garden. So, mantis egg pods are the the ultimate in a time-release capsule."






Cool.

7. That's what I thought too.
I thought the story was going to be that this movie that no one ever heard of had gone to the top of the Netflix requested list or something.
