Correction

In an earlier post about Lucy the lizard, I said that the story about monitors in toilets could just be folklore. That is completely incorrect. Tonight I learned the that a couple of years ago, a single woman employee of Dalat had a monitor that lived down in her toilet. She would see the tip of its tail when she flushed.

After several attempts to get rid of it, such as pouring down a huge jug of bleach, she asked another fellow employee, the IT guy who lived a floor above her, to come to her rescue. He donned a pair of gloves, she flushed and he pulled out the lizard. It was kindly let go outside.

And then late one night, a student was nipped on the bottom once by a baby monitor who lived in a toilet bowl over in Zeimer dorm. Apparently late at night is the most likely time for monitors in the toilets so we've warned everyone who gets up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night to look in the bowl first!!
