Other times Lancet came up

  1. It can go on clothing and on bedding and stuff like that. I think that was one way it went. I actually think that's why the Lancet were having a go at them, because the Lancet rather racially were like, oh, the Russians have terrible sanitation, and their solution is just not to shake hands. They're being absolutely ludicrous as opposed to, you know. It's an interesting one, yeah, because they do say that it's not really touch that gives you cholera.

  2. This is way back. This is over 100 years ago. The thing that I love about this bit is that the Lancet of all things, which is obviously a really respectable medical journal, absolutely blasted them for this and just blasted them for not refusing to shake hands during an epidemic, which is hilarious, obviously, today. They're basically like, all these Russians, they've taken everything too seriously. They've completely lost it.

  3. Yeah. I wonder if he looks at humans and thinks I belong there like the little mermaid. Other fish that have interesting ways of eating food, one of them is the Lancet fish. Mostly this is good because it's sort of vaguely similar to the black swallower in that its contents of its stomach are often in completely pristine condition because it again eats these huge meals. We think it's often fish that live very deep and don't get meals very often.
