I wanna barf too. Can you fix the link? I gotta know what oogiest means.
Here’s the story, from Yahoo.com:
Boy breeds beetles in his body
1 hour, 18 minutes ago
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A 13-year-old Indian boy has begun producing winged beetles in his urine after hatching the eggs in his body, a senior medical official says.
Doctor Chittaranjan Maity, Medical Education Director of West Bengal state where the boy is from, said doctors found the beetles while examining him for pain in the groin area.
“Doctors were really surprised to see the beetles,” he told Reuters on Monday. “There are eggs of the beetle in a fistula in his body and he is getting medical treatment to try to kill the eggs,” Maity said.
The boy had been taken to hospital on Sunday after complaining of pain while urinating.
The beetles - more than half a centimetre in length – belong to the Staphylinidae rove beetle family of insects. Most types are predators but some feed on fungi, algae and decaying plant matter.
An expert in urology, Doctor N. Subramanian, said that in theory it was possible for insects to hatch in the body and come out in urine but said he had not heard of such a case.
That, my friends is the definition of Oogy.
whoozy Ooooog… whoooooozyyyy
Sounds more like a cockroach to me.
Dude, you’re freakin’ me out, man!
I find that to be very relieving…
“Where are you going?”
“Oh, I’ve gotta go take a beetle.”
This takes the old, “Fly in the ointment” to a whole new level, huh?
::throws up::
Yuk. The poor boy.
The boy was getting very tired of being followed to the bathroom by teenage girls, who would watch him pee and scream, “THE BEETLES!”
Ick. Oogy is DEFINITELY the correct word…can you just imagine the wriggling sensation?..blech…
I wonder if he has dung beetles too.
I read the story and immediatly crossed my legs.
I wonder if they actually FLY out and buzz around for a bit. Christ! I’m starting to wretch again. Aaak. Aaak.
“Oh baby… Oh baby… I think I’m about to molt…”

Yeah, wouldn’t that be weird if you all of a sudden saw your skid mark fly away.
Omigod omigod omigod
eeeeewwwwwwww
My entire body is itching right now and I have an intense need to shower.
: pauses to thoroughly scratch through my hair and down my arms :
I am never going outside again - unless I have doused myself in DEET.
Ick Ick Ick Ick Ick
What I want to know (okay, I don’t really “want” to know, but there is a morbid curiousity) is how the eggs got in there in the first place. /shudder
My question exactly, Sionach. The whole concept of a beetle burrowing into my skin to lay eggs is more than I can handle.
