I'm a killer
I’m a killer. Plain and simple, there is no way around it. This weekend, my mom took out her three sons to a nice Sunday brunch. My brother Tom and his wife had a card for me. It was a nice card, one saying how great an uncle I was. Inside the envelope was a toy lizard. The box said that if you put the Lizard in water, it will grow to 600% it’s original size.
My brother joked that this was one Lizard that I couldn’t kill. He was wrong.
My kids placed the lizard in a small cup of water and I saw how the lizard grew. However, it began to grow outside the bounds of it’s small container. I figured that I’d place him in a pot and fill it with a lot of water.
Trying to be smart, I filled the pot with warm water. You know, chemical reactions are faster at higher temperatures, right? I mean, it wasn’t boiling water, just warm water. Well, that was enough to do the lizard in.
In about 1 hour, well, you can see the results here:

Oh the shame.
