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.

What do you mean you can't wait? You say that as if it hasn't already happened. Just look at Lil B, he's already a brainless zombie just repeating what the body snatchers have told him to Cool Face
