DDR, where have you been all my life?

[solarbird]

We got risu Dance Dance Revolution and now a bunch of us have been all over it. This game r0xx0rs. Half my friends have been playing it forever and I just never did, I don't know why. Yay DDR! ^_^

I meant to post this months ago, but never did; walking home from the shops one day, I found this GIANT-ASS MUTANT of a leaf. I'm used to seeing gigantic broadleaf maple leaves falling at the end of the year, but this other thing was crazy, and was about four times the size of all its cousins also on the ground. I took a picture, and here, finally, it is - complete with ruler and giant broadleaf maple leaf beside it for comparison purposes:


Check This Shit Out

Seriously, what the fuck? Or is this normal for this kind of tree - whatever it is - to have a bunch of smallish leaves and one gigantic mutant one?

I pressed it. It's in some phone books right now. When I have time, I'll probably frame it or something. I think it's neat.

Also, that isn't much of a leaf picture qua leafpic, so have this one too:


Drenched

Still no word from the graduate school, but that's normal. AGH

I think it is kind of normal with tulip poplars? I was thinking that I saw that with a bunch of less developed leaves and then larger ones... maybe it depends on where they are on the tree...

Huh. It's just that there was only the one that was so huge. Not several - just that one. It was freakish.

LOL. I was looking at that ruler thinking, 10cm? that's not that big... Then I realised...

When I was little and we were getting rid of this tricycle I had (not one of the teensy ones, a bit larger with proper inflatable tyres and stuff), I made my dad take a picture of it. In the picture we also put this very large horse-chestnut leaf :) It makes the tricycle look smaller than it actually was... but I don't think it was as big as yours.
