New forum assistant.
 

We have aquired a new assistant here at mersenneforum.org headquarters. We're not yet sure what task this assistant will do, but the Gerbil has suddenly become a lot more productive.

The card in the picture is 3" x 5" and the snake is 140g. It is a common snake that is native to North Carolina called a Corn Snake. It should be heavier than 140g at that length but that is easily taken care of with proper feeding and thermal management.

:lol: I guess that would scare any gerbil! :smile:

Probably a direct result of (job?) insecurity.

Certainly "food for thought" that your "highest and best use" might be simply "food"

Congratulations! :smile:

I guess the gerbil will be quite safe for now because the snake will need help with the new responsibilities. No sensible forum assistant is going to eat its mentor.

Please stick to a single units system, otherwise everyone gets messed up. The card is an A7.

No, the card is indeed 3" x 5" - but the snake is 5oz. [Yet too small to seriously threaten the Gerbil, but shhh - don't tell the Gerbil that, if it knew it would immediately start slacking off again.]

A few more pictures.

Isn't "Birds of Prey" rather frightening reading material for the new assistant? :unsure:

LOL, love the image-file name on the last picture of [i]el Gerbo nervoso[/i].

Expert opinion on snake oil over at the Math and Factoring forums?
