Along with mug shots and group poses of our critters, for Divine Forgiveness Sunday, we have the recipe from last week's Nano-Sapiens story!

Tod here! If I learned anything from television while growing up, it was that monsters and cookies go together. So, here are some pictures of our critters monsters before we get to the cookies.

Chaos Tip of the Week

Always read recipes and lab protocols all the way through before trying them. Many instructions have the culinary or scientific equivalent of “remove the blue wire from the warhead” which is followed by “only after removing the detonator”.
