[blanch] Creepy.
Off Topic: Nice to see you finally made a CBT account.
BACK ON TOPIC: Oh wait, says it doesn't attach to humans.

Why didn't the dumb fish just spit it out

It attached? Try flexing a tick out of you skin sometimes. It doesn't work.

I should bother using mine someday.

That sure links to a lot of scary ****...
-
It's like "Alien". Why do the teeth on that fish look non-fishy and more human? They look like a human's yellow teeth in need of brushing. That alone is scary.
I'm wondering if it is real despite what it claims. That looks unreal, and replacing the tongue with itself sounds off the wall sci-fi. That fish head even looks like that "Alien" creature. That is freaky if it is real. Not just the parasite's appearance and what it did, but that fish as well.
Maybe I should look up images of weaver fish and see what they are suppose to look like.

Truth is stranger than fiction. Clicky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angler_fish#Reproduction)
Before that sets of your paranoid-o-meter, it's wikipedia.
-
The most horrifying parasite IMO is the zombie fungus. It seriously sounded like something out of the X-Files.
-
I refuse to believe there could possibly be anything worse than the candiru.

Yeah, I heard scientists say something like that on some channel, or more like "fact is more amazing than fiction" or something. It was probably a normal person saying that in the advertisement or that show. Maybe it was an advertisment of the show monster quest. I can't remember. I might have also heard "science fact is stranger than science fiction". That could have been Dr. Michio Kaku talking as the advertiser to "The Universe".

Yeah, I often feel an anger towards the species. Maybe you too. You must wonder if humanity deserves to survive for long. I consider a lot of it bad. I like using the very true saying "nothing lasts forever". Well, at least in the physical world it doesn't.
Nothing lasts forever is both sad and a relief, depend on what it is. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes that certain moments and good times in life could have lasted, though. :(
-

Humanity will simply no longer exist if it ever stops trying to adapt to worsening situations.
But of course everyone knows that, so why does nothing change?

Tis homo sapien SAPIEN guys

Reminds me of Agent Smith.
But this not as cool as teh zombie fungus... Cordyceps FTW.

This little guy looks nasty, but apparently it functionally replaces the fish's tongue, causing little or no true ill effect to the fish itself. Nature is crazy =)

Not sure I'd like to have an isopod in my mouth though.

I dunno, if I were you Snail I'd be more concerned with this nasty piece of work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucochloridium_paradoxum

The former looks kind of neat.

Well then you can say the same about pretty much any animal species. We all feed off of each other, the only difference we are more successful.
-
I think Humans are only the sort of animal that wouldn't see what was wrong with using the benefits of civilisation to promote the end of it ;)
-
were also the only species to invent nuclear ****ing weapons, and i think we need to start using them.
-
Really? :wtf: Be careful, Nuke might build one. :P
-
:lol: I rest my case.
Seriously though, we also invented Art, Literature, Poetry, Medicine, Science and a host of other things, we invent ****, that's us, if we bombed ourselves back to the stone-age then in about 5000 years, we'd have Nuclear weapons all over again. That's why Anarchy is pointless, it's just winding the clock back and repeating the same mistakes over again. And, yes, we'd also have other people claiming we should nuke ourselves back to the Stone age all over again, it's a vicious circle.
The trick isn't to clean the board and start over, it's to learn to actually read what is written on the board in the first place.

You're volunteering? Let's have GPS coordinates for your place of residence, then?

We're also the only species to invent anything more sophisticated than sticks and stones. I think you've spent way too much time in Alaska dude.

Nihilists are a bunch of posers anyway. The ones with any real commitment to their point of view have already committed suicide. :p

All Alaska has is sticks and stones.
Oh and a nice view of Russia.

ants have farming, beavers have dams, they might not have figured it out the same way we do, but the end result is the same, modifying the environment to better server them, there is nothing humans do that any other animal doesn't do, we are just better at a few of the things.
and nuke, why do you stop at humans, why not everything?
-
I wasn't aware that Nukes were selective about that kind of thing.

well this one is, he has been fairly consistent about it being humans who need to die. now he doesn't seem to be too concerned about collateral damage, but still it seems as though he only is targeting humanity.

Holy ****!

Yeah. But only as long as you can't actually blow up the whole board, thus ensuring no one can start over. However, I'm pretty sure we won't be capable of wiping the planet permanently clean of life anytime soon. :sigh:

It's been tried before, by a Giant Rock From Space among other things. Not as easy as it looks. :p

Mostly cause the rest of the world doesn't see it your way and violently objects.

I always liked Terry Pratchett's theory that life possesses an unknown element called 'Bloodimindium', and regardless of how hard you try, it'll just keep coming back :)

almost looks like the parasite is smiling...
kind of like an "Eeexcellent" -expression.

Your gimmick has been boring for the last 3 years and doesn't seem to go anywhere.
-
not to mention necrothreading?
-
Less than a month is not necrothreading. Chill!
-
This has got to be the worst parasite in the world by far: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru
Although I'm not 100% sure if all the stories about it are true, wikipedia doesn't seem to think so, if any one of them is then ...
-
Although lurid anecdotes of attacks of humans abound, there is only one documented case of a candiru entering a human orifice.[7] One popular myth was that the fish was capable of swimming up a man's urine stream in mid-air to enter the urethra, though this is actually impossible.
I'm happy with that statement. My pee-pee will remain unviolated should i ever find myself trying to fend of pirannhas and alligators in the Amazon.
-
Yeah maybe not in mid air, but if you are peeing in the water it can still swim up their. Also it has rearwards facing spikes so it cannot be pulled out and it mashes up the inside of your urethra.
-
If it made inside my bio-system, the alcahol content would kill it. So i'm not bothered :p
-
Or...
It doesn't, gets a beer gut, sits about all day and is generally lazy... not to mention irritable and prone to drunken violence.
...All this in your trousers...
-
Long or short of it (no pun) It's really not likely to happen to me.
If it did, i would become
ROBOCOCK
that's all..
-
Um, I see.
Well moving swiftly on ...
-

Only if the person is in the water when relieving themselves. Clarification, as that seems kind of unclear.
