Virginia restaurant hit with $51,594 water bill after years of unrecorded usage

A restaurant in Virginia received a water bill totaling $51,594 following a three-year period in which its meter recorded no readings. The large charge was reportedly tied to the unmonitored consumption that accumulated over that span. The figure drew attention because the establishment had not been receiving regular billing updates during that time. The case highlights how gaps in meter reading can lead to substantial, unexpected costs for businesses.

Squids Found to Have Sensory Hair Cells Across Their Entire Bodies

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have discovered that squids carry sensory hair cells throughout their bodies rather than only on their heads. These cells let squids sense nearby movements of water. The process works somewhat like how humans use their ears to detect sound. Differences in the lengths of the hair bundles help squids tell apart water motions of different frequencies.
