Article: FOXNews.com - What's in Your Water? Probably Tiny Invisible Shrimp

Invisible shrimp could very well be living in every drop of water you drink -- but that's OK, they're nothing to worry about.

A photo posted to the online sharing site Reddit has the Internet abuzz. It shows a tiny animal -- a shrimp-like crustacean called a copepod -- and announces that the reader found it in his New York City tap water.

"You swallow these invisible shrimp with every gulp of NYC tap water," trumpeted online blog Gizmodo about the discovery. Time magazine's website also announced the find breathlessly, exhorting New Yorkers to "drink up" -- but noting that the critters may pose a problem for many of the city's Jewish residents.

The shrimp get in your brain and make you have an overwhelming desire to shop for shoes.
