I guess this is why I read the Times.

Enough to give any self-respecting dog a nervous breakdown. Flea on the right is an ordinary flea removed from a house cat. Flea on the left was removed from a beaver as mentioned in the article...

Seems logical to me.

If there are Jumbo Shrimp, why not Giant Fleas?

A harrowing tale. One seeks giant wild animals at one's peril. There was the famous instance of the Giant Palouse Earthworm (Driloleirus americanus) that even now hardened mountain men look nervously over their shoulders before relating it to the campfire listeners. Enormous, man-eating worms 50 feet long, lavender, and smelling like flowers, you could hear them calling to one another on a still night in eastern Washington and northern Idaho, "AWOOOOO!", meaning "fresh campers sighted along the Clearwater! Look for the California license plates and chow down!" That is, of course, my own rough translation.

Well, they finally tracked them down. The results were a little disappointing:

Did I mention they can shrink themselves to appear less threatening? Anyway, even now, if you find yourself lost and wandering between the Moscow Starbucks and the Pullman liquor store, make sure you keep that last bullet in your Webley-Vickers for yourself. (Creeps off, shuddering...)

Would you mind if this thread was borrowed for the August Undead Thread?
