Lousy and cool

From this NYT article:
The human head louse, for instance, evolved from the chimpanzee louse when the ancestors of humans and chimps split apart some five million years ago. The human pubic louse, on the other hand, is related to the gorilla louse, from which it parted company some 13 million years ago.

I find this immensely awesome.

I cannot read the title of this entry without my imagination conjuring up a terrible, terrible version of that one West Side Story Gap ad.
