By on September 3, 2010 in News 8

Consumerist discusses the disconcerting news that New York City’s tap water is filled with microscopic shrimp-like creatures, such as the one pictured below. Called copepods, they’re entirely harmless, but raise the question of whether NYC tap water is kosher.

    In other news,,,air discovered to be full of microscopic organisms being brutally slaughtered by humans who recklessly and willfully breathe.

    Vegans everywhere begin gluing mouths and nostrils shut…film at 11 (unless our vegan cameraman is dead…in which it might be a little later.)

      The Jains are supposed to wear veils over their mouths so they don’t breathe in any insects, and brush the ground in front of them for the same reason.

      Like orthodox Judaism, that sounds like a religion for the obsessive-compulsive to me.

        You did it now…I have to go look up Jainism. I don’t much about it…which will bother me until I do. :-)
