Good lord!  http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/medical/a/beetle_boy.htm

That old "Calcutta Telegraph" is a laugh:

"The outcome of this story is still murky, though.  According to a New India Press account of 25 July 2003, after Chandan was shifted to the SSKM Hospital, "doctors declared that it could be a stray case of flies coming from an external source and falling in while the boy was urinating."

We haven't turned up any follow-up articles on Chandan's condition since then, although we have noted a mini-outbreak of news reports from India about patients purportedly suffering from similar afflictions.  For example, the day after the last article on Chandan, the Calcutta Telegraph published another account of a boy suffering from a similar condition in which dung beetles were emerging from his rectum."
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

"dung beetles were emerging from his rectum."[/i]

That's probably the dung beetle equivalent of buying direct from the manufacturer (or looting).  :)
