Nice. Bedbugs can hitch rides on library books, hidden in the spines of hardcovers. That's lovely. Time to send in the bedbug-sniffing dog!

Baby Yoga
Please tell me that I'm not the only one horribly disturbed by this video! Even if this woman knows anatomy and what she is doing, I can't imagine someone else deciding to try this with their own baby, and twisting their arm out of the socket or something. Ugh!

Necropants
You know, now I'm just starting to gross myself out...
These are necropants, and here is the explanation for how to acquire and wear them (from Strandagaldur: Museum of Icelandic Sorcery & Witchcraft)...
Okay. I think I've had enough for today.

If you want to make your own necropants (literally; nábrók) you have to get permission from a living man to use his skin after his dead.
After he has been buried you must dig up his body and flay the skin of the corpse in one piece from the waist down. As soon as you step into the pants they will stick to your own skin. A coin must be stolen from a poor widow and placed in the scrotum along with the magical sign, nábrókarstafur, written on a piece of paper. Consequently the coin will draw money into the scrotum so it will never be empty, as long as the original coin is not removed. To ensure salvation the owner has to convince someone else to overtake the pants and step into each leg as soon as he gets out of it. The necropants will thus keep the money-gathering nature for generations.
Okay. I think I've had enough for today.
