I forgot that I made the "Hammerhead Worm meets the Finned Hammerhead Shark" comic—having dismissed it a couple years ago because I thought it was too gross. But now I don't care anymore.
Millions of sharks have been tossed alive back into the ocean with their fins cut off. It’s worth talking about — especially because it’s done to make tasteless shark fin soup!
Anyway, I hope you like the bipalium. It's weird and gross and just is what it is.
Have you ever had it? Would you try it?

Excavator thumbs are the simplest but most useful invention ever. Sure a good operator can pick up most objects without one but there's no denying how handy they are for many applications.
However, some contractors equip their machines with hydraulic thumbs and hardly use them. What most may not understand is that thumbs despite of their relatively low cost, they can actually do damage or excel wear and tear on a machine. For example, there is no need for an excavator to have a thumb if all it does is load dirt. Believe it or not thumbs are pretty heavy and add alot of extra weight on top of the weight of a full bucket of dirt.
When loading dirt into trucks with a thumb, the added weight gives the excavator a shorter tipping point when extended. This is because, combined with a full bucket of dirt it usually exceeds the rated lifting capacities. Over a long period of time loading trucks with this extra weight it is known to cause many components to wear faster than they should, especially the swing gears, and stick cylinder.
What I am trying to say is, if you don't need a thumb for an extended period of time, it may be worth taking it off. -

Using a thumb for one of the many intended purposes.
