Fungus Ants

I have no idea why. But I'll understand if you squeal like a girl and your hair stands up when you see this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/20...ter-ant-fungus

Man, that shizz is strong. Imagine if we infected a few Oddworld Forumites with a modified version. Heh. That'd be sooo cuul. Zombie Havoc. Zombie Alcar. Zombie Molluck's Assistant.

I always thought it was freakiest the way it affects their thinking. I remember David Attenborough describing how 'after a few hours... it gets an uncontrollable urge to go up...'

Yes, it sends signals to override the brain so that they go up very high to send more fungal spores through the air.

Yup. The higher you go. The further your spores go. It's just freaky how they erupt from their bodies like that.

Nah, see, we're still ingratiated to some of your annoying quirks 'cause you still post regularly. Spirrow comes and goes (ooh) too often for us to get used to him.

Also, I've known about fungus ants for awhile so this is just like that other time someone found something I knew about.

Yup.

Also, Enchilado, what the fuck is in that last picture? Looks like remnants of frogs, bugs, and other, unknown entities.

Yes a live ant. But it was the small, black kind.

Denmark doesnt really get big ants. Denmark doesnt get anything. it's just filled with turds and cows.

Inside references that were posted within twenty minutes of eachother can arguably be clever and funny.

Outside borderline obscure references for the sake of referencing cannot. Ever. Regardless of what 4chan/facebook/twitter tells you otherwise.
