A single cricket is lodged in the apartment or condo wall belonging to Downtown News' reporter Ryan Vaillancourt. "Every day, it’s the same maddening, minimal music. Chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp," he writes. According to a cricket expert quoted in the story, crickets only live six months, so the wall is probably just a giant coffin for this guy. Yes, it's a guy. Only male crickets chirp. What an awful situation! For all parties. [Downtown News]
