Odd News Friday: A Ticklish Situation

Sometimes I am rendered speechless by certain news articles, and today's certainly left me saying only "...ewwwww."

"A German man who stuffed 44 small lizards into his underwear before trying to board a flight has been sentenced to prison in New Zealand for plundering the country's protected species. Kubus was caught by wildlife officials at Christchurch International Airport on South Island in December, about to board an overseas flight with 44 geckos and skinks in a hand-sewn package concealed in his underwear. The geckos may have been worth 2,000 euros ($2,800) each on the European market." (AP Wire Service)

Okay, maybe I not totally speechless, for I have to wonder if Mr. Kubus was somehow just trying to save money on his car insurance.

And yes, you may all collectively say "...ewwwww" for that very bad joke. :-)
