GACK!

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - “Monster mice” are eating much larger albatross chicks alive, threatening rare bird species on a remote South Atlantic island seen as the world’s most important seabird colony.

“Gough Island hosts an astonishing community of seabirds and this catastrophe could make many extinct within decades,” said Geoff Hilton, a senior research biologist with Britain’s Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

The house mice — believed to have made their way to Gough decades ago on sealing and whaling ships — have evolved to about three times their normal size.

“We think there are about 700,000 mice, which have somehow learned to eat chicks alive,” he said in a statement.

“The albatross chicks weigh up to 10 kg (22 pounds) and ... the mice weigh just 35 grams; it is like a tabby cat attacking a hippopotamus,” Hilton said.

The rapacious rodents gnaw into the bodies of the defenseless and flightless chicks, leaving a gaping wound that leads to an agonizing death. Scientists say once one mouse attacks the blood seems to draw others to the feast.

A cousin of mine just sent me a flyer for a tuck box she's selling for $4,500.

???

Does it vibrate? Does it do the housework? Does it fly?

I used to keep packets in my drawer, until I started using one that had went off, and then decided to err on the side of freshness.

Nothing can beat the condiments I found when we moved offices. Ketchup packages that were suspiciously green through the white plastic. Duck sauce turned pale and watery. The crunchy mustard. The blue mayo. Calcified soy sauce...

You know what? The MARC's website sucks.

What, you people don't spend thousands of dollars on semi-useless art gifts? You people are LAME.

Oh hey, are there any pharmacy-knowlegable people around?

Can you really evolve over mere decades? Poor chickies.

You people are LAME.

And I bet they don't regularly drop a grand on an outfit they'll only wear once.

You know, I really thought I was hanging with a higher class of people around here.

Hit me.

You and me, babe. We'll just hob nob over here.

You might have seen this cousin's pied-a-terre one time I visited NY a million years ago. But you know how my memory fails me.

am I the only one wondering what a tuck box is?
