unidentifiable food and pollution
Today I learned by typing in the dumbest search term I could think of ('sea bug') that this one kind of sea critter I'd been trying to identify for four days is actually called a sea bug, at least by somebody. It's a little hard to compare the shelled (unshelled?) version to the version with the shell on, but feel free. You can find the shell-on version by going to the voting page on I Can Has Cheezburger? and looking for a picture submitted on January 3rd at 2:02 pm, which earlier today was on page 52.
In news on the home front, if my husband does too much work on our car or goes into a particularly nasty store, he pollutes the bedroom that night so much I have to go sleep on the couch by about 5 am. Since we now have more than one set of tolerable sheets and blankets, and he's been consistently polluting himself, I've been doing an awful lot of laundry. It might be less wasteful to wrap him in fresh paper towels every night instead of using sheets at all.
In other pollution news, in general, women contain more pesticide pollution than men, which could explain why there are more women with environmental injuries than men, and anybody with half a brain can figure out that if you poison all the women, humans will die out, so we're all going to die! (I just haven't been announcing that enough lately. It seemed like time.) In related news, some researchers have theorized that women who get depressed start losing their sense of smell and thus begin using more perfume. But they went on to say, "We also believe that depression has biological roots and may be an immune system response to certain physiological cues," which leads some of the rest of us to conclude that it's the perfume making women sick that causes the depression. Thus we may conclude that perfume will decimate the human race.
And last but not least, here's an article titled Why Are Pygmies Short?

In Australia there are similar critters known as Balmain bugs and Moreton Bay bugs (similar to each other but not the same). They're most commonly seen on plates in the sorts of restaurants that are not frequented by grad students.
