I thought this was the other article I saw today, and was going to say they did not lose a half mil, only 89 cents. But nope, not the same situation, here's the one I saw earlier...

 

Bettor's 89-cent, 20-team parlay misses $500K payout because of Redskins loss

Look for the ‘Available Saperston’ signs, coming soon to a Flying J near you!  ?

TIL of the terrifying swamp-rodent known as nutria. The 20-lb furry creatures with tusk-like orange fangs are threatening many different aspects of California's ecosystems. 

 

There was an episode of Cops years ago somewhere in Louisiana that included them going around and shooting them. I can’t find that specific clip, but here’s a similar one.

I don’t have much knowledge about life in midwestern states, but I get the impression that people from there have some serious hang ups.

I understand that they actually are delicious.  Need to get some recipes for nutria in California restaurants and problem will go away.

 

A quote from a book "A Phule and His Money"f rom my favorite author Robert Aspirin: "Sergeant, once you've gotten used to nutria, you'll be using it in all your recipes.".

Not just the midwest.  Many states have "*****" laws banning sexual acts which are not procreative.

 

America is a country of puritans.

the big fur hat that Elaine tried to return to audit, on behalf of George, was made of nutria

and was recognized immediately by internal audit as nutria, along with definition of what a nutria is, quite impressive

I think last summer or the year before a few of them broke out of the Toronto Zoo and were running around the City for a while. I think they caught them all
