much worse than that, they don't do the whole reproduction thing with a placenta and normal gestation period. soph. year we lived down the hall from this asian guy. pretty nice guy, had an asian girlfriend from california who shows up for a week. then her friend drops by, ends up sleeping there and the thousands of eggs hatch. most of the young are of course eaten by birds, cats, and other predators but a large number still survive using this strategy.

so there kept being more asians living in the room, speaking mandarin chinese, buying stuff at asian grocery stores in porter square then cooking them in the microwave with aluminum-foil still on.

it took them 2 weeks to start cracking down on the children by yelling at them to work harder or no thresher-shark tail for dinner.

it was a full-blown sweatshop in a month, but they bribed us with the shiny new nike sneakers they were cranking out.
