|   hahaha, yeah i know they are edible.  Apparently it's a very popular contonese dish called "shako" or "****ing shrimp" because they used to just throw them in a boiling pot and they would release their bowels.  yum yum ammonia.  Nowadays they stab them to release the bowels before throwing them in. but despite them being good to eat, i would greatly prefer a LIVE mantis!  |

|   not stupid at all, for a while i had no idea what bump meant either.  A "bump" is used when you have a thread that hasn't been posted in for a while.  It "bumps" the thread back to the top of the list if the thread is unanswered but still viable (im still looking for a mantis for example).  Why bump?  because we have nothing else to say, lol. nice to hear you want a mantis too. they are sooo cool. the only problem with you wanting a mantis is that it creates competition for me... grrrrr. i kid. |
