The skull of a grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) with severely overgrown incisor teeth, probably the result of malocclusion arising from damage to the lower incisors. This condition would have made it very difficult for this animal to feed and was likely the cause of its death.

Tue 2012-03-06 I just noticed an option to log in as 'guest' on our Ubuntu laptop. I cannot remember asking for it, and I certainly don't want it, so I looked for a way to disable it. In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS the guest option is provided by the package gdm-guest-session. I went into the Synaptic package manager and uninstalled it. After logging out and in again, the guest option is no more.
