likecats Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 That’s an interesting fun fact. Several years ago a newly discovered velvet spider that lives underground was named after Lou Reed. “loureedia” There is also a spider named after David Bowie but I don’t think it was discovered on Mars.🙂 Anyway, thanks for posting that!

GeorgeC Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 At least the article noted that the froggie was at risk of being Trampled Underfoot...A true Misty Mountain Hopper. There must be other LZ - reptile jokes to add here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DayBender Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Don't forget the lyrics to Dancing Days: I saw a lion he was standing alone, with a tadpole in a jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought that was a cool line, very symbolic lyric. Looks like the tadpole has growed up 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DayBender Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Always thought that line was self referential .... Robert is a Leo..and I'm sure he had a lot of tadpoles in his *ahem* jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
