    He bit you??!! Ugh!!!!! How did you get him off your arm?? I heard that you have to burn him with a lighter or over the stove. Yikes. Did his teeth penetrate your skin? But I think they're not poisonous. Sorry, just curious. :smile:

    My wife said, don't make him angry or he will jump on me and won't let go.

    Looks like an evil gecko. It looks so terrifying on the picture. I don't care if this creature give me good luck. I don't believe it anyway. I remember it make so much noise and mostly they do at night.

    With me sitting here in northern New York, it seems pretty easy for me to solve your problem all the way down in the Philippines. With your gecko having an accent, all you really need to do is call up Barnum and Baileys' circus and have them place it in there night show...you know, having an accent and all (I'm rolling my eyes with this lame thinking while I'm typing it, and with much needed sleep).

    Rhoody,you must have good sense of taste ,geckos taste like chicken ? wow . Geckos are reptiles and dinosaurs are reptiles too .There are various theoritical explaination about the disappearance of the dinos 65 million yrs ago . One of the theories explains the dinos didn't actually die entirely out of catasthropic geologic /cosmic events , but through millions of years they just adapted to environmental changes ( availability of food, climatic changes etc) .Facing the changes in order for the diff species to continue ,their inbuilt survival mechanism dictates the evolution process / differentiation through gradual cell mutations occuring over millions of years. Now ,cute are those birds flapping around,but scientists researching on close links between birds and dinos have come out with interesting findings that Birds and dinos are indeed closely related through the study of their DNA composion .

    Interestingly , the fact is when they took samples of mitochondrial DNA from the preserved bones of T-rex (tyranosauros rex) and that of our delicious chicken ,it showed that our chicken so closely related to T-rex, and believed they must have its way descended from the family of carnivorous rex .

    I love to eat grilled dinosaurs preferably the Inato at Jo's ,delicious.

    No wonder geckos can taste like chicken too. Did you deep fry it Rhoody?:D

    animal language

    Geckos must be similar to dogs have their own world and language ....
    Western dogs bark auf, auf, auf, so forth.
    In dumaguete dogs can also do the filipino bark "aw aw aw aw aw...paakon tika ron ."

    Spin

    This is a classic spin.
    Whenever there is a situation that no one can do anything about, people will put a good spin on it.
    For example, I went Spelunking, and the guide said that if the droplets fall on you, its a good luck (so of course many want this to happen and dont feel so yucky about it). In truth, the droplets are filled with bat s*** particles. If the guide didnt say the good luck thing, people would be screaming left and right as the droplets fell...

    About the geckos.... well, u cant get rid of them, so....oh well, you get the drift.
