Read in monotone: "I love documentaries. They are awesome."
Ok, that's the end of my homework essay. lol.
I just sat through an hour of "Lizards" and find them more interesting now than I did before but, the thing that got me the most was the hatching out of eggs and having no mother around, they fend for themselves right out of the shell.
It's the same with chickens, but can you imagine being born that way? You're fully aware, at some point, (or, as fully aware that a lizard can be) and you find yourself inside an egg.
When do you decide to break out? How do you know that you 'can' break out? What if the lizard thinks that the inside of the egg is all there is in the universe and says, "Well, this sucks." and stays inside - like Sheldon the Egg-Toting Chicken?
Imagine what it would be like to take that first breath of air after holding it for so long.
Lizard 1: "Environmental status?" Lizard 2: "It seems breathable, captain."
And, with all the eggs laying ontop of each other, it must be pretty loud inside since egg shells are perfect sound conductors.
This is interesting, really. Something for me to ponder for the next few days.

Kind of like a fish in a small bowl has no idea that theres a whole world. Then maybe they graduate him to a tank and its like "wow look how much bigger the world gets." This little guy has no idea that theres ponds, lakes even oceans. And the Worlds ocean takes up nearly 75% of the globe. Not for this guy though. Those 2 or 3 gallons of water are the whole world for him.

lol...Skier1, I love how your mind works.
You can find the most obscene things in even the most innocent posts.

True, Kimm.
It's like humans believe that the earth is the only thing out there, but we have yet to step foot on any other planetoid other than the moon.
The earth is all we know.
