Precious treat spoiled by National Geographic

I haven't had ice cream for quite a while, so tonight I thought I'd have a nice chocolate, luscious chocolate, ice cream cone while watching the telly.  Flipping the channels, I bumped in to this very fascinating National Geographic documentary about withcraft in India... when suddenly they started showing a guy explaining how he can cast a spell against his neighbor by grabbing a piece of "human faeces", putting it into a clay pot, and then inserting a scorpion.  The scorpion was dark brown before going inside the bottle.  When it came out, it was yellowish, like mustard.  Arrrghhh!!!  I wasn't able to enjoy the chocolate, and I can't put it back in the freezer.

In other news, when I came back to my apartment this afternoon, I got a nice surprise.  I found my first bill for my high speed Internet since I moved here.  The ISP now is the same I used in my previous apartment.  For my previous contract, at the moment I signed the contract I needed to pay upfront one or two months.  This time when I applied anew (rather than simply transferring my connection), they didn't charge me anything at the moment of signing the contract, so I thought they'd hit me hard with the first bill.  But no!  Today I opened the bill, and it was only one month's worth!  No extra charge for setting up the new connection nor anything like that!
