you never told us about the baby seal murder, nsikan.

here's an article about the scary science lab that 2Pz friend nsikan works murders for:
In September 2011, beachgoers noticed dead seal pups on New Hampshire beaches. “Surfers were surfing into seals floating in the water,” said Katie Pugliares, a senior biologist with the New England Aquarium’s rescue program.
Unlike typical seal cadavers, the seals were not malnourished, suggesting they had died suddenly.
An examination of tissues from the seals pointed to a respiratory infection. To identify the pathogen, tissue samples from five pups were sent to the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University. Simon Anthony, a postdoctoral researcher at the center, led a search for viral genes in the tissue. (via)
yeah right. i'm sure you just "found" some dead baby seals. yeah. right.

maybe he just calls baby seals rats because it makes it easier to club them.

also, can you imagine a baby seal infestation in the nyc subway system?

No Joel, I call baby seals "sample #1, sample #2, sample #3, sample #4..."

P.S. The subway stuff is NTKI, a.k.a. the intraweb doesn't NTK. #StuffThatsSecret
