Did you Know!
 

Our lovely crunchy friends :!:

A woman was working in a post office in California. One day, she licked the envelopes postage stamps instead of using a sponge. That very day the lady cut her tongue on the envelope. A week later, she noticed an abnormal swelling of her tongue. She went to the doctor, and they found nothing wrong. Her tongue was not sore or anything. A couple of days later, her tongue started to swell more, and it began to get really sore, so sore, that she could not eat. She went back to the hospital, and demanded something be done. The doctor took an x-ray of her tongue open, a live cockroach crawled out!! There were roach eggs on the seal of the envelope. The egg was able to hatch inside her tongue, because of her salivia. It was warm and moist. this is a true story reported on CNN.

This is exactly why I use a glue stick for all my envelopes! Seriously though, that story is an "urban myth" that has been making the rounds for several years. (Not that that fact makes it any less nasty!)
