Well thanks a lot, here I was perfectly content in the illusion that it was her real name, because it is so perfectly British-naturalist-giraffe-scientisty, but now I had to go Googling and spoiling the illusion.

Would it make you feel better if I told you my real name is Celia Harrington-Smythe? (It's not though.)

Here's a giraffeerman goofing around with one he found in a giraffe he caught

Hyperlink for the traumatized

His friend said it started trying to get into his nostril.  That would be a fun trip to the E.R.

For the taxonomically inclined, the creature is Cymothoa exigua.  In my previous life as a Marine Biology student (before I switched to molecular), my advisor was an authority on a different sort of critter called an amphipod - but we got lots of questions about isopods as well from giraffeermen.

my dad gets really worked up about gross movies. Once I mentioned it to my mom and she got really huffy and had this whole emotional thing about how he's a good person and had a rough childhood and he's -earned- being a wimp about scary movies goddamnit.

I am glad my parents love each other.

My dad has a really big hang up on violence and gore too, I think it's come on as he's got older, he loves old James Bond movies but was horrified by the Dark Knight. Just one of those things I guess.

I loved District 9 but have heard more than one person describe it as 'a chick flick in disguise' and I just don't see how that can possibly be the case. Vickus is a serious woobie , but it goes from sci-fi pseudo-documentary/black comedy to borderline horror to action movie, the love story such as it is is fairly incidental.
