Giant Weta, anyone?

Bigger than a sparrow!

Take one home today for the kiddies! Makes a great stocking stuffer!

8. Actually I think I'd rather just have a little bit of their talent...

I love to make things, but I have little to no talent for visual art. All my skills lie in writing and music.

9. (WETA)

WETA is my NPR :headbang:
Ever since I started helping there it's driven me crazy that I couldn't make a word with it (I have serious Scrabble issues I won't even explain) so this is HURGE, I'm gonna send this to the people there. I've never told them about my letter issue, they think I'm weird enough anyway, but they'll still think this is good! I could kiss this bug!

14. Son of a gun. I didn't realize that Weta Workshop was named after a bug.

I thought the word sounded New Zealandish, but had no idea.

Cool!
