elfsI have seen the coolest wasp ever. The Emerald Cockroach Wasp doesn't just kill cockroaches (which I utterly loathe) and implant its eggs into them. Oh, no. It's too cool for that. Instead, it lands on the roach's head and inserts its stinger precisely into the portion of the roach's brain that controls movement, turning it into a zombie. The wasp then grabs the roach's antenna and steers the roach, like a robot, to a hiding place. After a while, the neurotoxin that the wasp has injected slows the roach's metabolism down so that it'll live in a paralyzed state for eight or nine days without dying of dehydration, while the wasp plants eggs next to the roach. The larva then eat their way into the roach through its abdomen and, eight days later, emerge full grown from the roach. Excellent!
A lawmaker is Des Moines wants to ban the sale of any "three-dimensional object designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of the sexual organs." Apparently, he's afraid that teenage girls, who already can't figure out what shower massagers are for, don't need to get hints from store clerks.
And this has all the trappings of a story right off the Internet, doesn't it? The deputy directory of schools for the Northern Bahamas has announced that predatory lesbianism in public schools has reached crisis proportions and many teachers and parents are "not inclined to discourage young girls" from the practice! And it's hard to tell who is doing what because "lesbians do not exhibit the kind of characteristics that make it easy to determine that a man is homosexual."
Goodness! Wasn't this an anime?
