A telephone stalker obsessed with underwear made a big mistake when a gym opened across the street from the apartment that he shared with his mother.
Paul Kavanagh was caught on film by detectives as he leaned over his London apartment balcony while making calls to the gym’s female receptionists.
This month Kavanagh was sentenced to two and a half years jail. He admitted to making 15,000 or so harassing calls to women asking them questions about their underwear. He’d call posing as a clothing researcher and claim to be gathering marketing data for a retailer.
Kavanagh had been making these calls for 12 years before he was caught. He’d usually start off his conversations with questions about the womens socks and sweaters, but then he would move on to their underwear and make lewd suggestions to his victims.
Judge Peter Testar concluded that Kavanagh had been “making these calls for the purposes of sexual gratification and, I must say to my mind, for the purposes of cruelty.”
The calls were all placed using unregistered pay as you go phones. When Kavanagh was finally caught he was, as stated above, targeting the female staff at the gym by commenting on their clothes and the way they wore their hair.

David Scholnick of Pacific University has a profound interest in how shrimp act when they get an infection. He gauges how they act by by building a tiny treadmill in order to run crustaceans through their paces to measure blood lactate levels.
I have this picture in my head of several shrimp lined up on treadmills with little towels behind their necks. LOL
Scholnick told livescience.com last October “As far as I know, this is the first time that shrimp have been exercised on a treadmill.” To increase the shrimps’ stress, Scholnick designed tiny backpacks out of duct tape but still found that healthy shrimp could go for about an hour without fatigue.
OMG I wish I had a photo of that. Can someone make me a cartoon of shrimp on a treadmill with little backpacks on their backs?
