This one caught my interest, hehehe.

Zombie ants: When ants become walking dead
http://earthsky.org/biodiversity/fungus-turns-tropical-carpenter-ants-
into-the-walking-dead

Quote:

It’s like something out of a horror movie. A parasitic fungus infiltrates the body of a tropical carpenter ant, feeding on it and manipulating its body. The fungus forces the dying ant to the forest understory, an environment more conducive to its growth. The invasion of this fungal body-snatcher culminates with it sprouting a spore-laden fruiting body from the dead ant’s head.

Brrraaiiinnnnssss!!

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


Yyyyeeeeessssss.

Once again we have PROOF! of evolution creating the highest most special forms of life EVER! (Please read this in John Lithgow tones of bombast with a subtle take-back of sarcasm.)

I used this in a rpg once, and now here it is, mother nature stole my idea !

Also, zombie caterpillars.

I couldn't get the zombie ants to load on the ipad.


That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

That's really interesting Frem, wow!

All I know about TWO is that they wish dearly that Wash and Book hadn't died in Serenity, can't blame him/her for that one. Actually Wash is the only one s/he mentions so maybe Book dying isn't an issue for him/her. I want to say him but I don't know so I'll not commit.

I think Two would've liked Book to live too, but yeah they mostly focus on Wash.

At Ants - knew about it.

Good question. Two has been over five years, does anyone know them?
