underpope spawns "Braiding the Monkey" as a new phrase (or euphemism) of dubious meaning.


Last night I turned off the soup and put it in containers in the refrigerator. It had started to stick to the sides in the most disconcerting way. I do not think that I have the spare time it takes to properly tend a perpetual soup! Not at the moment. I am still not sure how many hours I am working tomorrow. For that matter, I'm still not sure how much I'll be working today...

Carnivorous lizard in toilet
A three-year-old boy got the fright of his life on a trip to the toilet on Wednesday.

The teju, or tegus, that shocked a Nordnes family is pictured here at a toilet at its new home, Bergen's Akvariet.

The youngster was lucky that his mother had come along to open and raise the toilet seat. The startled woman found a carnivorous teju, or tegus, a large black and yellow South American lizard, lurking there newspaper Bergensavisen reports.

"Not a nice experience," is the father's summary. He came running when he heard the sound of screaming from the family toilet.

The Akvariet (aquarium) in Bergen was called, and reptile expert Remi Andersen paid a house call. He confirmed that the animal in the apartment in the Nordnes district of Bergen was a 1.5 kilo (3.3 lb) teju.

The teju is capable of holding its breath for half an hour, which probably explains how it managed to navigate its way through the sewer and up into the family toilet. The family is lucky they looked, rather than sat, first.

"The chances are greater that the lizard would have taken a bite out of someone's 'ham', than that it wouldn't have," Akvariet director Kees Ekeli told Bergensavisen.

It is illegal to import or own such reptiles in Norway, but the Akvariet has been allowed to keep the beast.
