“The Rotterdam Natural History Museum has appealed for somebody — anybody — to give it a single crab louse for its collection, amid fears they may be dying out.” Apparently a style of bikini wax (the “Brazilian,” which removes practically all of a woman’s public hair) might be killing them off. “‘When the bamboo forests that the Giant Panda lives in were cut down, the bear became threatened with extinction. Pubic lice can’t live without pubic hair,’ [curator Kees] Moeliker said.”

Surely someone can help them out?
