As I reported earlier this year, there are brain eating amoebas out there in gross water that stupid people swim in (or lets their kids swim in). This thing only needs to get into your nose to tunnel into your dome, and feast on the goo inside. Well, they are back, this time devouring our frenemies. In Pakistan 10 people have died from these tenacious critters. Same deal, they were swimming in disgusting water where these guys live. The crazy stat is that out of 123 cases from 1962-2011, one one person has survived!

Fungal Meningitis: Day 8
Today’s updates in broad strokes:
1. 13,000 people exposed
2. 8 now dead
3. 105 sickened
Fallout: Now they are going to regulate these “Compounding Pharmacies”. Apparently they are barely regulated at all. The details are a nightmare to navigate. Read it for yourself here.
Wait what? How…I mean…huh? Are you serious?
As if I needed another reason to hate Kentucky. This is my one allowed pervy news post. A former Bengals cheerleader turned teacher just plead guilty to banging a 17 year old student (male). What?! Are you KIDDING me? She was a PROFESSIONAL cheerleader and she chooses some pimply-faced dork from a high school. Ok I am sure he was stud, I mean he has to be right? She wouldn’t be into tall nerds, you don’t think? Nah of course not. I mean I had no chance with the regular cheerleaders in my school, and all of whom were forgettable.
The only thing that helps me sleep at night is that this is probably the peak for this kid. How can you top this? I mean seriously. This is every kids fantasy. I, on the other hand, am on the upswing (probability would dictate). Although phrases like “probability would dictate” will ensure a deep down slide in my chances (probability would dictate).
Nuthin’ but a B thang
This man is infinitely more of a man than I, although technically I have 200% more balls. A British Rugby player, Paul Wood (Real name), got his eggs scrambled by a knee in the waning moments of hte first half. This tough MFer came back in and finished the game (even though they lost). He then had his smashed ball surgically removed. He has a wife and two kids, thank God, but I am sure he had a lot more planned for the little guy. The good news is the remaining ball now has a two bedroom apartment. He will appreciate the space.
