"It was the longest few hours that I have ever had to wait... I could still feel them and hear them and knowing what those scratching sounds were, and knowing what that wriggling feeling was, that just made it all the worse," she said.

So wtf is that?
Cymothoa exigua, or the tongue-eating louse
Cymothoa exigua extracts blood through the claws on its front, causing the tongue to atrophy from lack of blood. The parasite then replaces the fish's tongue by attaching its own body to the muscles of the tongue stub. The fish is able to use the parasite just like a normal tongue. It appears that the parasite does not cause any other damage to the host fish.[2] Once C. exigua replaces the tongue, some feed on the host's blood and many others feed on fish mucus. This is the only known case of a parasite functionally replacing a host organ.[2] There are many species of Cymothoa,[3] but only C. exigua is known to consume and replace its host's tongue.
Utility company Thames Water says it has discovered what it calls the biggest "fatberg" ever recorded in Britain - a 15-ton blob of congealed fat and baby wipes lodged in a sewer drain. That's enough "wrongly flushed festering food fat mixed with wet wipes" to fill a double-decker bus such as the famous London Routemaster, the company said.
....
This blockage - built up over an estimated six months - was discovered after residents in nearby apartment buildings were unable to flush their toilets
Examination found that the mound of fat had reduced the 70-centimeter (28-inch) by 48-centimeter (19-inch) sewer to just 5 percent of its normal capacity. It damaged the sewers so badly that it will take six weeks to repair them.
