New Zealand in Dire Peril!

Attention, dear readers! It has come to our attention that a sex-crazed pest from Korea is hell-bent on wreaking havoc in New Zealand! It's a little thing called a Sea Squirt, it's been transported to New Zealand from Korea, and now it's threatening the kiwi shellfish supply. They're spreading quickly due to their spawning rate of once every 24 hours.

Biosecurity New Zealand is working feverishly with Canadian researchers who have been battling the same problem for seven years. Maybe they should have gone to the Sea Squirt Genome Jamboree...Needless to say, if you should come across some way of eradicating this pesky sea critter, please contact New Zealand. And Canada. They'll probably give you a medal or something.

In other news, I can't believe I'm writing about Sea Squirts at 11:30 on a Friday night. Those Sea Squirts get all the action...

Hey, I'm here reading about Sea Squirts at 2 in the morning of the following Saturday, how do you think that makes me feel?

What I really want to know is: how can something so cute as to have the name "Sea Squirt" be so wrong?

Man, we get all the fun creatures.... If it's from the sea it means us only harm, that's my motto...
