Scientists Create World's Tiniest "Ear"

One night, when I was in my late 20s, I started hearing this weird, tonal scraping sound, but only in the right ear. I obviously considered it unusual, so I went to the hospital to get it checked out. (aside: I LOVE Canada's health care system). The doctor who examined me said that I had a textbook case of a burst eardrum. He prescribed antibiotics, and (since this was a university hospital) he asked if I could come back the next day to get a picture taken of my eardrum for teaching purposes.

When I returned the next day, the first doctor's advisor examined my 'burst' eardrum and realized that it wasn't what it first looked like. It was a hatched bug egg. Apparently a bug egg, had somehow been deposited on my eardrum. What I'd been hearing was the sound of a baby bug hatching.
