A Canadian brewery has apologised for unwittingly naming one of its beers after a Maori word that is commonly used to mean pubic hair.
Hell's Basement Brewery in Alberta said it released its Huruhuru pale ale two years ago, thinking it meant "feather".
But Maori TV personality Te Hamua Nikora pointed out the common interpretation of the word in a Facebook video. Link

Maybe the name was thought up by a disgruntled worker & it really could mean the closest thing to ****.

Puts a new twist on "hair of the dog"

This thread is probably a better place for the 'zombie cicadas' referred to in the huntsman spider thread.

The most bizarre thing I've heard in the last couple of weeks (doesn't involve humans, but I could call it the Murdoch fungus if it was applied to the readers) is the case of the zombie cicadas infected with a fungus, who leave their burrows in the ground, fungus causes their tails to drop off and they fly around spreading spores out of their open ended thoraxes till they 'crash'.

Apparently the fungus contains traces of psilocybin and other stuff.

Was on RN a week ago.

Here's a link with more info:
