Leeches Pump Fresh Blood Into Russian Economy. Reuters.
Leeches? Now how can anyone pass up those wonderous benefits only a brown slimy creature with three sets of jaws and 90 teeth offer?
It always gives me beautiful, healthy skin. The blood flows to my face and makes it younger. It also gets rid of small wrinkles.
And just to ensure that you, the valued customer, only receives the very best product, the leeches are groomed for their destiny. A date with you.
Feeding time involves buckets of cows’ blood and resembles something out of a horror movie – leeches that are about to be sold do not get any food for three months to ensure their appetite is strong when they reach clients.
The refreshing and healing spirit will be awakened in you.
The gory climax of the treatment is cutting the gorged leech in half and covering the face with the resulting blood.
Ummm, capitalism in Russia is alive?

The mere idea that an insect can crawl into a human oriface is creepy. Tiny chitinous legs free ranging in a domain not theirs, while the human contorts uncontrollably from the sensation. Enough to make one go crazy.
See here a cockroach take over a human ear canal and evade grasping from forceps.

The Times-Picayune has the goods. The New Orleans Saints win the Super Bowl. Merci beaucoup, New Orleans Saints .
But this is especially gratifying for Southeast Louisiana residents. Sunday’s game was about much more than Xs and Os for us, because since Hurricane Katrina the Saints are much more than just a football team — they are a civic cause. The storm transformed our region into a metaphor for despair and tragedy in the eyes of the world, but the Saints gave us reason for optimism. They embodied our resilience and our unity. That’s priceless for a region still in recovery.
History of the New Orleans Saints at Wikipedia provides background that puts the Super Bowl win into perspective.

‘Biggest Dick’ rejected as Saudi Arabia ambassador. Metro UK.
Looks like Akbar Zib of Pakistan, is unable to get beyond the diplomatic post in Canada to ambassador in Saudi Arabia. How can anyone take him serious when his name translates into ”Biggest Dick?”
The diplomatic wrangle appears to bring to life the scene in Monty Python’s Life of Brian where a Roman consort called Biggus Dickus is routinely mocked.
As a refresher, be sure to see Biggus Dickus in action in NICE PLAY BARACK! at Bad Habit.
Thusly, the moniker appears ripe for full fledged satirical play.

President Obama was having that one, lone brief conversation this year with General McChrystal about Afghanistan.
Things were obviously not going the way the General had hoped.
Obama could sense this, and told him, “I bet when I die, you’ll piss on my grave.”
To which General McChrystal answers, “No sir, I’ve always said that when I get out of the Army, I’ll never again wait in another line.”
