I wear your shirt - The trifecta for Silly Saturday single link posts. I'm not sure what's more annoying: that the guy takes pictures of himself working out, or the fact that if he successfully sells out all the calendar days, he'll be $66,000 richer than me. Either way, I'm not happy.

Here's an odd unforeseen consequence of the Columbian drug trade: fishermen along Nicaragua's Mosquito Coast have been been getting rich off of "white lobster"—cocaine dumped overboard by Columbian drug traffickers that, through a fortuitous arrangement of sea currents, washes ashore. Apparently, it's become a common occurrence for communities along the coast. NPR also did a story last week about it, for those who find the clip above uneasily close to a human interest story. There is also a small gallery of photos by Susan Schulman, the photojournalist who's interviewed in the first clip.
