"Now a team at Bristol University want to collect as many parasites as possible in order to find new treatments."

If they offer Kato Kaelin a place to stay, I'm sure he wouldn't mind getting "treatments."

Up in the hair... it's Super Louse.

[Bucket]

Is that per louse or per head? Cuz, ya know, some enterprising parent could really make some dosh here....

[Jeff Meyerson]

I think Super Lice were on a double bill with Irish Road Bowling.

Sad, ain't it。 For male lice, that is.

*NARF* but what are we gonna do with 20 pounds of headlice Brain? *Poink*

Why wasn't this story run with a 50X enlarged picture? Journalism standards continue to plummet.

[Chianca at Large]

Here's that picture, Betsy. Gross!

[racist stereotype]

Herro, Dave-san, they alleady glowing this stuff in China.

[Dr Acula]

Absolutely typical. First the Americans come over here and buy all our top art works and now they are buying up our childrens' head lice too.

[Kat]

I know better than to read stories about lice but I did and now my head itches. Damn it.

[eat_black_licorice]

I already know how to kill the super lice. Use Rid and then groan when you discover that your child's head looks the same as it did before dumping poison on it. Wash your child's hair with vinegar and then use olive oil to comb out the nits. And then comb out more nits. And then comb out more nits and eggs and live crawlers. Put a shower cap over your child's olive-oil drenched hair at night in hopes of suffocating whatever is left. Do nothing but comb out crawlies for days. Vacuum incessantly. Ponder shaving your child's head and dowsing it with kerosene.
(I know this isn't funny, but we had lice in our house one year for Christmas. I rewrote a song ,"Fa La La La La La La La Lice," and drank lots of eggnog to cope.)

Chianca...Omigod!!! I see now why they didn't publish it!!!

[Shannon Walker]

Yeah Dave, if only I *could* get some rest!

But some of these stories are so weird and disturbing that they are more effective at keeping me awake than my chronic pain condition!

Are the RBR ever going to come to the SF Bay Area - I would love to come see you play. I have ear plugs at the ready! ; >

Was it Bobby Burns that wrote, "Ode to A Louse?"

hahaha eat_black_licorice that is what we have been through for the past month. kerosene and a pair of clippers have definately come to mind.

I'm sitting here wondering.. huh, why arent they dying. Well enough expensive crap lets try the olive oil. Then I decide maybe overnight isnt enough with the olive oil.. because they are having a wonderful time marinating in it. How about 24 hours?? Nope. Right now my daughter's head is stuffed full of vaseline and it has been that way for 2 days!! Every one I have combed out of her head with it on has been dead. Now there are about 800 or so eggs that havent hatched. No ideas about a next step. Plucking them out one by one is not going to work.
