    So surprising that Jewish Information Service is unable to hold their own in math at basic 1-10 level. World is changing it seems. One would think that Jews are best at math connected to making money. Perhaps they are too dependent on their Overlord.

    Huge slugs settled in the centre of Moscow: Pests from abroad

    In the centre of Moscow, settled huge orange slugs pests. They have no natural enemies, they quickly multiply and destroy plants.The centre of Moscow was flooded with huge slugs, the newspaper Vesti.Ru reports. They were first noticed by tenants of houses on 3rd Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street.

    Orange slugs more than 10 cm long can belong to the species Arion lusitanicus, said zoologist Ilya Gomiranov. Until the first half of the twentieth century, the Lusitanian slug lived on the Iberian Peninsula, then soon settled in Central and Northern Europe, probably thanks to an active trade.
