The parasite, Cymothoa exigua, attached itself to the host fish's tongue and snacked on it to the point where it replaced the missing part of the tongue. The parasite, which does not harm humans, only appears to feed on snapper, Luttjanus guttatus.Quoted from: Discovery Channel :: News :: Fish Tongue-Eating Parasite Spreading?

And I wanted to point Paul to a page about hypoallergenic dogs.






That's a decent link from a dog-fan perspective -- complete with doofy dog themed design. I loves it. And here are some specific hairless breeds:

Chinese Crested (these are so ugly you gotta love them)

American hairless Terrier (these don't really look ugly at all -- in fact, from a distance they look like short hair Jack Russels)

Peruvian Hairless Orchid (these look pretty cool and seem decent sized - little dogs are actually cats in dog suits)

Xoloitzcuintli (come on- there's some serious clout here -- your dog is of a breed nobody else can pronounce or spell and it has a mohawk. fucking bad ass)

So see, Paul -- you could learn to love a doggie, too. It might have to be a freaky weird doggie, but that's OK. If you an pull some strings with your mob friends to get me a permanent job in town, then I promise I'll get you a hypoallergenic dog so you can enjoy the benefits of doggie companionship.

And I could have listed a bunch of hairless cats, but I'm lazy and don't like cats as much.
