fucking rank.......ed told me about this show the day after, but sadly i missed it. he was saying something about an island of the coast of africa that is home to these parasitic worms which look to be taking over the island, scientists found up to 20 worms in almost everyone living there (i think) and they multiply in your stomach and eat your food til you starve, i cant remeber exactly what he said, maybe someone who saw it could fill in some details?
"In fact, parasites make up the majority of species on Earth. ".......GREAT
that picture of the tapeworm at the top of the bbc news story is fucking sick, if that ever came out of me i'd want inflict the most painful dragged out death on the little shit

check this story out about a crazy little wasp:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/841401.stm
some more information on the tapeworm can be found here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2040756.stm
"so-called Taenia tapeworms can range in size from less than a millimetre to over 20 metres. " WHAT!!!!
Pork was one of my favourite meats, but now i might go off it after this...... "T. solium is often found in raw or undercooked pork and is therefore sometimes called the pork tapeworm. It lives in the human intestine. Each segment, or proglottid, may contain as many as 40,000 eggs. "
I wish these fuckers had a human ambassador so i could kill him
