Paul: lmao Paul: caught a cockroach off the floor here… shoo’d it into an empty water bottle w/ a piece of paper… stuck some leaves and sticks in there, a piece of a potatoe chip, and put a cap full of water in it… cut air holes in it and taped it sideways to the top of my monitor. Always wanted a pet at work! Grant: oh dear Paul: it just needs a name… was thinking Raid…. geeky, a pun, and it’s catchy! Grant: very Paul: He’ll be raid1, and when he dies… Paul: and so on Paul: :-P Grant: lol Grant: raid 0 Grant: start at 0 Paul: :derp: < –- meet raid0 Paul: :-P Paul: lol Paul: my new pet is really boring Paul: he just sits there Paul: I should get him a little plastic ball to run around the room in:) lol

Three weeks later:

Grant: How’s raid0 doing? » still alive? Paul: yeah… I cut the lid off another bottle’s cap and attached the two bottles together, so now he has a condo. Grant: I can’t believe he’s lived this long » (just billing for that day, saw our initial chat in my IM logs) Paul: I give him water and feed him chips and stuff lol Grant: rofl
