Daily Darwin – Cat’s Got Your Genomes
Darwin winces and swallows a little gorge as he relays the grisly details of the “Big cat poacher … mauled to death and EATEN by the pride of lions he was hunting with only his head remaining at South African game reserve”. Eeewww!! Damn!! Daily Mail. I’m gonna have to use some eyebleach to get rid of that gory vision. Darwin, recovering his ironic sense of humor, says the whole episode sort of reminds him of a White House Briefing where Sarah Sanders had FakeNews CNN’s, Jim Acosta, a la tartare style for lunch.
The hunter was heard screaming for help as he was attacked at the Ingwelala Private Nature Reserve in Hoedspruit outside Phalaborwa.
But the lions quickly killed their victim and devoured most of his body before being chased off, leaving his head untouched.

Daily Darwin – Darwin’s Home Builder Brigade
Darwin points out that he has finally found out where members of his infamous ‘Ladder Brigade’ park their genomes for the night. His initial thought on learning, “Whoa, that first step is a real bitch”.

Daily Darwin – Electrician Ladder Brigade Two-fer
Darwin hilariously points out that this Darwin Award candidate belongs to the rarefied category of ‘Two-fers’, those that seek to wreck havoc on their genomes in two ways simultaneously. In this case, by Ladder and by Electricity.

Haiti, A ‘Shit-Hole’? Does Having No Sewers in Capital City Qualify?
We learn this from NPR, “Port-Au-Prince: A City Of Millions, With No Sewer System“. The grisly facts do seem to substantiate the claim that Haiti could possibly be a “Shit-Hole”. The people, though, not so much.
Port-au-Prince is about the size of Chicago. But it doesn’t have a sewer system. It’s one of the largest cities in the world without one.
Since cholera was introduced into Haiti 18 months ago — most likely by United Nations peacekeeping troops from Nepal, where the disease is endemic — more than a half-million people have gotten sick and at least 7,050 have died.
Public health authorities say cholera will stay in the environment for a long time, because Haiti has the worst sanitation in this hemisphere.
It’s hard for Americans to imagine what this means.
The cumulative sewage of 3 million people flows through open ditches. It mixes with ubiquitous piles of garbage. Each night, an all-but-invisible army of workers called bayakou descend into man-sized holes with buckets to remove human waste from septic pits and latrines, then dump it into the canals that cut through the city.
Seeking Job As ‘Lizard Whisperer’
He might have a chance for that job depending on his interviewing skills, even though his credentials appear to be a few hairs short of a pompadour. But any other ‘real’ job, not so much.
