Something John Yoo Might Have Approved For Ghost Detainees Leads To Rare Dodgers Win

No kidding, I heard a guy tell me this happened to him once and it's bugged me ever since:

Matt Holliday's maddening season of maladies continued Monday night with the strangest one yet. Holliday had to be removed from the Cardinals' loss to the Dodgers after a moth flew into his right ear.

With two outs in the eighth inning, Holliday had to be tended to by the team's athletic training staff. He walked off the field and into the clubhouse, where medical personnel attempted to remove the moth from his ear.

According to a team spokesman, the first tactic was to take Holliday into a dark room, in hopes the moth would seek light and fly out. However, the insect had gone in headfirst and was unable to turn around. Thus, tweezers had to be used to remove it.

The guy who recounted his experience with having a moth fly into his ear said that the noise was deafening — basically, it's flapping it's wings and making bug noises directly in your eardrum. The experience made him insane until he finally went to a hospital, where a professional was finally able to remove the insect.

Seriously, ever since then I've worn my hair over my ears — technical term: unkempt — in order to minimize the threat of bugs flying into my ears.
