    You see, their young enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex. This has the effect of rendering the victim extremely susceptible to suggestion. Later, as they ...grow..., follows madness - and death.

    And I thought television was the thing that ate my brain. And recreational drugs. It was an amoeba?

    Yup, it's killed 6 times this year. All in hot-weather states. 23 times in the US since 1995.
