For those who have not been following the Cassie Edwards plagerism scandal, this might not make much sense, but still.. So. Damn. Funny. XD
Move over 'Meerkat Manor': A nature writer suddenly finds himself at the heart of a hot plagiarism scandal.
Although, I have to say, on one point, I respectfully disagree.
"I traveled to South Dakota in the spring of 2005, flying into Rapid City airport, renting a car and driving to Wall, where I checked into a dumpy motel overlooking an industrial yard. It was as unromantic a location as you could imagine. At night I went out looking for ferrets with biologist Travis Livieri, one of the nation's foremost experts on the species.
Nocturnal, ferrets come out after dark to hunt for prairie dogs, their main source of food. With Livieri at the wheel of his pickup truck, we bounced down rutted dirt roads alongside the prairie dog colonies that fill the Conata Basin-a federal grassland near Badlands National Park. Researchers find ferrets by shining a spotlight on the moonscapelike setting of a prairie dog town. From dusk until nearly dawn we sat in Livieri's truck-two dudes looking for weasels. Nobody said science was sexy."
Never underestimate the slash girl's ability to see love any and everywhere. ^_____^
It's got all the makings of a great romance! They're alone, it's night, they have the bed of the pick-up truck right underneath the stars...Plus, there's the conflict of the cattle ranchers who want the prairie dogs gone, and the biologists who are struggling to save them so that the ferret populations don't disappear. (Hmm, the only thing that would make this better is if it were the biologist falling for the cattle rancher. XD)
*pouts* Now I'm really hankering for some man-loving science smex. ;_;
Yes, I need a life.
