I can contribute my own "bug" story if you want...

Due to the number of reptiles we have, we buy our super worms (like a meal worm, but with a softer shell - the ones we get are about an inch or more long) 1,000 at a time. Susan picked them up yesterday and left them on the couch for me to deal with when I came home (she doesn't do live food).

By the time I came home, they had chewed a hole not only in the canvas bag they come in, but also the plastic grocery bag that the canvas bag was in. I found about 50 of these worms crawling around. Susan found another one today.

So Theresa; wanna come over tonight to help me look for more?

Ewwwww! That is not what I'd want to find in my couch!

Death by Firing Squad is the choice of death for a guy on death row. The WTF part is that they will issue commemorative coins for everyone involved.

Does pot continue to be illegal because it keeps cops employed? This article would seem to suggest that may be a factor.

The reason is simple: If the California lawman steps up his pursuit of marijuana growers, his department is eligible for roughly half a million dollars a year in federal anti-drug funding, helping save some jobs. The majority of the funding would have to be used to fight pot. Marijuana may not be the county's most pressing crime problem, the sheriff says, but "it's where the money is."

It seems these days bedbugs go for anything trendy. Bedbugs are renown for being the most pretentious of the parasites. I have a theory though that the bedbugs were actually aiming for the Sit & Sleep outlet next door to the Hollister store, but were misdirected by Google Maps.

Yeah, that was big news out here a couple of weeks ago.

I didn't know about the coin thing, though. Weird.
