Go Isopods!

Have you seen this nasty thing? These were found off the coast of Britain, inside weaver fish. It's called the Tongue-eating louse (Cymothoa exigua). What it basically does it attaches itself to the fish's tongue and sucks the blood from it until the tongue atrophies, at which point it pretty much takes over as the fish's tongue. For the rest of the fish's life, it's tongue is this living creature. It does not harm the fish in any way, but I imagine the fish doesn't get many dates from that point on. At least, not many second dates.

Get this -- in Sofia, Bulgaria, Sports Minister Svilen Neikov ordered an investigation after the same lottery numbers were selected by the ball machine two weeks in a row. Turns out it was a coincidence, but come on, how crazy of a coincidence is that? And an unprecedented 18 people got those numbers right the next week. That might be the cause for concern, right there. Why the heck would 1 person pick the same numbers that just won last week, let alone 18? Seems like they knew something everyone else didn't. Who knows?

Those new re-mastered Beatles albums sold 2.25 million copies in 5 days. It just further proves what we already know; the Fab Four were the greatest band of all-time. They were great innovators in their time. Abbey Road probably sits somewhere in the Top 10 albums of all-time, with multiple others in the Top 100.

And, on a postally related note, a Massachusetts postal worker was arrested for stealing over 30,000 Netflix DVDs from the mailstream. What a friggin' moron! It's jerks like this that give the honest postal workers (like me, of course) a bad name. Netflix got suspicious when customers in the area were reporting over 100 movies a week not reaching their destination. Who the heck thinks a company wouldn't notice 100 movies a week? And of course, postal inspectors got involved, started watching, and saw him slipping them into his backpack.

Wait, what? What's he doing with a backpack? We've been told time and again, no backpacks or big coats on the workroom floor. It's so people aren't trying to run off with stuff. Sounds to me like he's not the only one who has a hard time following the rules.

Seems like I read every day about a worker caught doing something. The more of you that do something stupid, the faster the postal workforce gets down to a more economical level. So keep it up, bozos.
