Oh. My. God. ::bvomit::
Quote:CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - It wasn't just the caffeine that gave an Iowa woman an extra jolt after she had her morning coffee. It was also the bat she found in the filter.
The Iowa Department of Public Health says the woman reported a bat in her house but wasn't too worried about it. She turned on her automatic coffee maker before bedtime and drank her coffee the next morning.
She discovered the bat in the filter when she went to clean it that night. The woman has undergone treatment for possible rabies.
Health officials say that the bat was sent to a lab but that its brain was too cooked by the hot water to determine whether it had rabies.

I hope she gets superpowers somehow, they way Spiderman did when he was bit by the radioactive spider! Maybe her name could be The Brewed Bat Bitch.

Sounds like she got a super human gag reflex.

While that is a little gross, we all have bugs crawling all over us every single day.

Dust mites themselves are harmless. Being blind and deaf leave them virtually harmless to living humans, as they mainly feed off of dust and dead skin. So why bother? Well, they have a repulsive overpopulation crisis larger than that of China and India put together. Dust mites can live up to approximately four months, with one of those months dedicated to their growth from egg to adult. During this time, the female mite can lay approximately 40 to 100 eggs in the latter half of her life. This breaks down to each egg-laying female being able to create 25-30 new dust mites in one week.
To give you an idea about the level of dust mite overpopulation, here are a few figures:
- 1/2 a teaspoon dust can contain 1,000 dust mites
- 30,000 dust mites can be in one ounce of dust
- Based on the age, a mattress can contain 100,000 to 10,000,000 dust mites

Well, you managed to gross me out. I'm going to invest in a scale so I can measure weight gain on my pillows.
