Now THOSE are extraordinary nostrils!

That's right, a new bat has extraordinary nostrils. How extraordinary are they? Judge for yourself!

Whoa. This bat is now named Walston's tube-nosed bat. That's because Joe Walston discovered the little critter.

This is Joe Walston. While I congratulate his good work, I must say that his nostrils are less extraordinary.

I Clean My Nose Old-School

Have you ever heard of neti pots? Also known as jal neti, the idea is that you take a neti pot, fill it with water, and then stick its spout up your nose.

And I haven't gotten to the gross part yet! Then the user starts cranking the neti pot up while tilting his head to the side and grimacing like there's a hedgehog in his trousers.

The water fills the user's sinuses and pours out the other nostril. This is not attractive.

So why do it? Because it cleanses the nose and throat, and may even be sort of healthy in some way I can't imagine. But as for me, I'm happy to take care of my clogged nose the old fashioned way: With my fingers.
