I have seen a five-pound house rabbit chase down, pin to the ground, and "have her way" with the 12-pound cat in the way that rabbits do when establishing dominance. The cat looked horrified, like it was thinking "OMG, this thing looked so easy..."

Just because something's cute doesn't mean it isn't gonna kick your ass.

I really liked this tactile exhibit at Mammoth Cave National Park. It shows cave life to scale with a penny, and the models are really well done in 3D. The penny was sized to make the critter model display well, so even the tiny amphipod is tactically interesting even though the penny is mega-oversized (pennies are also in 3D for tactile pleasure).

Cave Crayfish, specifically the Orconectes pellucidus. The eyeless crayfish grows to more than four inches long. It has no pigmentation in its....and the stupid preview makes it I cannot see the rest of the text to put it here. It is a predator and will eat invertebrates in cave pools and streams. Above this text is a 3D model of the crayfish, with a real size penny for scale underneath it. The structure is accurate, and is visually and tactally pleasing.
Northern Cavefish, Amblyopsis spelea. This is the larger of the two cave fish that occur at Mammoth, and it can grow to five inches long, live up to 60 years and even go two years without eating. The scale model above the penny shows more the average size, not the max 5 inches. There's a lack of eyes and it has fluffy looking fins.
Cave Amphipod, specifically the species Stygobromus vitreus. They are tiny and eyeless crustaceans well adapted to cave life. The penny is very oversized, but still 3D. On it is the amphipod, which takes up about the size of Lincoln's body and that's it! Super leggy and segmented wee thing
Kentucky Cave Shrimp, Palaeomonias ganteri. Food is scarce in the cave's underground waters. In the perpetual darkness, natural selection favored increased sensitivity in taste and touch and discouraged eye development in animals like this cave shrimp. They graze on bacterial films in the streams and on tiny organisms in sediments. The scale model shows an enlarged penny (but not quite as big as with the amphipod) and the shrimp with its huge long antenae are around the edges of it. The shrimp is about the size of the penny, but the antenae are even longer than it is in body!

I bought this 23-inch Apple Cinema Display on eBay, and I'm not very happy with it. It looks gorgeous, no doubt, but I can't use 60 Hz after getting used to a 144 Hz gaming monitor. Mouse movement feels odd.

Besides, my LG 27GL63T-B 27" operates at 144 Hz and uses only 27 watts at full brightness. I measured by tester.

However, the Apple Cinema uses 70 watts at full brightness.
The LG is about 10-15% brighter than the Apple Cinema.
