Such embryos, when
lodged in the intestinal wall can bore through it into a blood vessel
and be carried to their final destination in a muscle.

Teapot Dome
With the exception of Watergate, there has never been a scandal more
egregious and with wider implications than the Teapot Dome affair
during the presidency of Warren G. Harding. It involved the secret
leasing to private companies of oil-containing tracts owned by the
Navy, mainly in Wyoming and California.
"Domes" are natural reservoirs of crude oil. The "Teapot Dome" - named
after a rock resembling the kitchen implement - was near Casper,
Wyoming. It was "reserved" in 1920 for the future energy needs of
American Navy vessels.
Senator Albert B. Fall of New Mexico - Harding's secretary of the
Interior - opposed this "conservation" policy. Hence his furtive
attempt - in collusion with Secretary of the Navy, Edward Denby and
others - to lease the domes to private extractors.
