Nag nag nag, that's all you ever do, R-WAC!

The words are: HAMPSTER / LEPRECHAUN

  

Hey folks it's that time of the week again... this is the part where R-WAC likes to bug you about submissions.  Have you started one yet?  Were you just about to until this crappy reminder came in?  Well, that's great to hear.  We look forward to seeing all the creative submissions this week!  See you tomorrow for the voting and reveal of all your hard work! 

And our winner is…

Great job Danny Devine, you’ve taken last week’s challuunge with 42.1% of the vote.  You now have until this Friday to come up with two random words.

So, scratching your head as to what to do for this week’s words: HAMPSTER / LEPRECHAUN?  Well fear not, for we here at the art challuunge would like to share some history of both of these words.  Maybe this will inspire you in your struggles.  Enjoy, and we’ll see you back here on Friday, around 2-ish.

Hamster(s) are rodents belonging to the subfamily Cricetinae. The subfamily contains about 25 species, classified in six or seven genera.
Hamsters are crepuscular. In the wild, they burrow underground in the daylight to avoid being caught by predators. Their diet includes a variety of foods, including dried food, berries, nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables. In the wild they feed primarily on seeds, fruits and greens, and will occasionally eat burrowing insects. They have an elongated pouch on each side of their heads that extend to their shoulders, which they stuff full of food to be stored, brought back to the colony or to be eaten later.
Although the Golden Hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) was first described scientifically in 1839, it was not until 1930 that researchers were able to successfully breed and domesticate hamsters. Pet Golden Hamsters are descended from hamsters first found and captured in Syria by zoologist Israel Aharoni.
Hamster behavior can vary depending on their environment, genetics, and interaction with people. Because they are easy to breed in captivity, hamsters are often used as lab animals in more economically developed countries. Hamsters have also become established as popular small house pets.

Leprechaun (Irish: leipreachán) is a type of fairy in Irish folklore, usually taking the form of an old man, clad in a red or green coat, who enjoys partaking in mischief. Like other fairy creatures, leprechauns have been linked to the Tuatha Dé Danann of Irish mythology.^[1] The Leprechauns spend all their time busily making shoes, and store away all their coins in a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If ever captured by a human, the Leprechaun has the magical power to grant three wishes in exchange for their release. Popular depiction shows the Leprechaun as being no taller than a small child,^[2] with a beard and hat, although they may originally have been perceived as the tallest of the mound-dwellers (the Tuatha Dé Danann).

One pull could save the planet.  That was the line in the advertisement that caught Margaret's attention and ultimately brought her to the casino.  It was the thrill of millions of dollars changing hands, and although she would never admit it later, blood lust that kept her there for the seven hours she played before hitting the jackpot...  CLICK HERE to read the story.

When the United States Navy found the crushed remains of a deep-sea vessel west of the southern tip of South America in 1997, the first thought was Russian aggression.
