**Junkfood\_SDMB** is up to 6.11 ms at only 0.94 years old. If it lives long enough, I think it has a serious chance of gaining the “Biggest” crown (currently held by a 2.04 year-older at 9.40 ms). And **something** has found yet another **Abby\_SDMB** to mate with (this makes four in a very short time). You’d think it was trying to collect the whole set… ---

Yeah, I’m shooting for “Biggest” too, **jr8**. Furro\_SDMB is at 6.13 ms and 0.92 years—so I have a _tiny_ edge on you. Race you to the top! ---

[Georgia\_SDMB\_V](http://www.technosphere.org.uk/cgi-bin/info.exe?id=2041853) has got you both beat. 8.18ms. But he’s an old, old man at 1.53. Sadly he’ll probably drop dead before he takes the crown from suicideinducerIIIIIII, sigh. ---

I can’t get technosphere to work but I got this gem through my e-mail. Happy\_SDMB\_I and Abby\_sdmb are the proud parents of Happy\_SDMB\_II (id 2625236). There must be a lot of Abby’s progeny out there, eh? ---

Bad news for creators of carnivores. Check out this guys record in futility, [sad sack](http://www.technosphere.org.uk/cgi-bin/info.exe?id=2094597). More then 40 times on the hunt and yet came up with nothing. He’s ancient at 1.39 and yet has never eaten a single bite. How in the world do you live to that age and not eat anything? My poor poor carnies. What a sad life their children will have, sigh. ---
