old stuff - things crawling in ears

i was checking out the archives today.i ran into the story about thingys climbing in peoples ears,and,while several irritating ear invaders were mentioned i think the most dangerous one was left out.Known as Ceti Eels,they are native to Ceti Alpha 5.be cautious,once in the ear,they do more than just get stuck!they have the rather scary habit of wrapping themselves around the victims cerebral cortex.if not removed,they can leave the victim susceptible to suggestion.if that wasn’t enough,leaving them in will lead to the victims going insane,and eventual death.

When you start a new thread, it’s helpful to other readers if you provide a link to the column upon which you are commenting. In this case, I guess, Why do we have wax in our ears? Do roaches ever crawl in there?

thanks…i was trying to do that,but i guess i forgot…oops…
