no, not a mispronounciation of rice, that.
rather, this article about the dreadful head lice reminds me of an episode during my early primary school day's. when teacher's rigorously checked those with nit problem, and remindin the rest of us again and again [like a broken record] of the importance of hygiene.
it didn't help matters when some wag went on to tell us a "story" of some poor lass who - out of utter frustration - sprayed her bonce with insecticide. resulting in permanent hair loss. or so said the wag.
i wasn't taken in by the tale, but remarked all the same, "she can always wear a wig, now that em nits ain't botherin her anymore. right?"
i was thence labelled "heartless".

we are living in the 21st century yet there are people out there who don't care about their personal hygiene.
as blahed by the letter b @ September 2, 2005 04:53 PMOooo, you should have seen the piccy that went with the article. They blew up the lice (well, not the lice, but the photo of the lice) about a billion times. It's not a pretty creature.
Wonder why it's going to be an epidemic, hmmmm.
