http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhK9wWJTRkA I thumb this up not for the video showing how rat-infested this NYC “park” is, but for the exasperation of the concerned (and disgusted) citizen filming it: “No drinking, no bicycling, no dogs, no skateboarding – you will disturb the rats.”

Op-Ed Contributor – This Bedbug’s Life – NYTimes.com
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/08/opinion/08berenbaum.html?_r=1&src=me There have been a rash (ahem) of bedbug alerts in Toronto recently – one of the side effects of globalisation and inexpensive travel options, I suppose. I was swarmed in a hostel on my 2007 trip, and it’s an experience I don’t wish to recreate. Every time I read an article like this, I […]

SaveFerriss reviews – StumbleUpon
http://saveferris.stumbleupon.com/review/5014891/ SaveFerris Stumbled this squick-tacular link. They’re selling that CSI “game” at a grocery store near me, and I had the same reaction he did. Imagine the terror of a pre-teen kiddie who excitedly rips the giftwrap off their birthday present, only to find themselves face to face with a creepy skull? *shudder* And for […]
Sheath Cleaning
http://jmatt.net/ElecEq/sheath.html Thanks* to DLAF for this brain-searing, ew-ew-ew-inducing article. Like Goatse, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to wash this from my mind. So much for lunch! *not really
