I saw not one but TWO news stories yesterday that were so insanely weird and seemed like they couldn't possibly be real... but they are.


First up, 9-year-old girl's twin is found inside her stomach.
The girl has fully recovered, which is good. Read the full AP article here.


Next up, Ants swarm over Houston area, fouling electronics.

"The hairy, reddish-brown creatures are known as "crazy rasberry ants"... They, like some other species of ants, are attracted to electrical equipment, for reasons that are not well understood by scientists. They have ruined pumps at sewage pumping stations, fouled computers and at least one homeowner's gas meter, and caused fire alarms to malfunction. They have been spotted at NASA's Johnson Space Center and close to Hobby Airport, though they haven't caused any major problems there yet.

Exterminators say calls from frustrated homeowners and businesses are increasing because the ants — which are starting to emerge by the billions with the onset of the warm, humid season — appear to be resistant to over-the-counter ant killers. It's not enough just to kill the queen. Experts say each colony has multiple queens that have to be taken out.

And when you do kill these ants, the survivors turn it to their advantage: They pile up the dead, sometimes using them as a bridge to cross safely over surfaces treated with pesticide."

Did you read that last sentence? Gross! How happy am I that I don't live in Houston right now??
