Frog DNA and Fish Tacos

So I'm sitting in my apartment sweating mind you due to the fact that I'm on the 8th floor and well....heat rises. Anyways I had a craving for some Taco Del Mar down the block so I put my pants back on because walking around in boxers might not go over well in public and off I went. I took a second to say hello to Mt. Rainier and began my urban absorption of Pacific Ave. I love the city. I got to the store and I was greeted by a nice fellow with whom I placed my order with. That in itself isn't weird just the young woman at the table behind me was. She saw that I have tattoos running the length of the back of my arm. "OOOOH I bet that hurt!?" she says. Of course I made a quick assessment of her hotness level and kindly replied " Yeah it sure did!" I don't know what started it or if she was fucking with me but she began to fire all these odd facts and conspiracy theories at me. It was crazy !! She asked me if I was a member of the band called "Band of Horses" because I had a BoH tee on. She then told me she was stung by a bee once because she was wrestling a boy at school...then told me about a species of ant that seeks out human flesh to consume and not only that he talks to his other ant buddies and they plan then conduct "flesh raids" on villages ...somewhere in the world I didn't catch the name. I was so amazed by this yet freaked out at the same time I mean I couldn't wait for my fish tacos yet I kinda wanted them to take a little bit longer for fear of missing more of these revelations. The final factoid dropped on me was about a frog in I think North America that you can freeze completely in a block of ice Then you can thaw this frog out and he/she will still be alive due to there being a chemical in the frogs blood that keeps froggie from freezing. Now that in itself isn't the best part ..the best part is that governments are trying to harness this power and splice this chemical into human DNA so lets say astronauts won't freeze or they can be frozen for deep space travel. But what this young lady thinks is that whatever government or country harnesses this technology they can rule the world by somehow through more science freeze the continents they don't like and with this chemical injected into "ice troops" they can overthrow warmer people.

I got my taco to go and bid her a good evening. In hindsight she had very pretty eyes.
