These are the things I think about

Some times, for some people, there are few things scarier than the truth.  It isn’t as subjective as mystery or the unknown.  It is there, it’s attributes are known, and it can’t be ignored or dismissed with as much ease.

Maybe even worse are these combinations of seemingly unearthly knowns that in their foreignness maintain a bizarre combination of fact and what should be fiction.

I personally found these videos to be fascinating, but now with a more somber (and perhaps sober) disposition I can not help but to find them bordering on the Freaky.

It’s a creepy concept of a fungi, known as Cordyceps, infecting animals and taking over their very perceptions, giving this video the makings of an all too likely situation (I mean compared to zombies that is several leaps and bounds of potential) or a soon-to-be concept for a horror film.

Or perhaps a parasite is more up your alley?  The Leucochloridium paradoxum has much the same dynamics.  These snails have their bodies taken over by parasites while they fulfill the roll of a breeding ground, then are compelled upwards so that a bird might peck out their infected ‘eyes’.  And the snail is likely to survive this and have the tentacle grow back with another parasite to perpetuate the cycle. 

Ants.  Many comparisons have been drawn between such and human society for their industriousness and ingenuity.  But this clip shows a more distinct and feasibly perturbing vision of merciless raiders that maraud across the countryside with unbiased RAGE and BLOOD THIRST.

So what are your thoughts on this?
