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 =)

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

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.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

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.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Re: a monstrous and horrifying parasite
: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.

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

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.
