Tales of Bicho ("And Mebo!") #13:
-Dear pink giants, welcome to the first Tales of Bicho Official Bulletin!
-Many of you will be wondering why this hasn't been updated for more than two weeks...
-Maybe you think it's due to the huge lots of exams the author has to face... Nothing further from the truth!
-I must inform that Bicho feels unwell since New Year's Eve because of an indigestion of lucky grapes.
-As each one of the twelve was four times his size... See you on February!!!

For all of you that doesn´t get the joke:

Spanish New Year's Eve (Nochevieja or Fin de Año in Spanish, Cap d'Any in Catalan) celebrations usually begin with a family dinner, traditionally including shrimp and lamb or turkey. Spanish tradition says that wearing red underwear on New Year's Eve brings good luck. The actual countdown is primarily followed from the clock on top of the Casa de Correos building in Puerta del Sol square in Madrid. It is traditional to eat twelve grapes, one on each chime of the clock. This tradition has its origins in 1909, when grape growers in Alicante thought of it as a way to cut down on the large production surplus they had had that year. Nowadays, the tradition is followed by almost every Spaniard, and the twelve grapes have become synonymous with the New Year. After the clock has finished striking twelve, people greet each other and toast with sparkling wine such as cava or champagne, or alternatively with cider. [From Wikipedia]
