What the F

Members of Pseudacteon reproduce by laying eggs in the thorax of the ant. The first instar larvae migrates to the head, then develops by feeding on the hemolymph, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. After about two weeks, they cause the ant's head to fall off by releasing an enzyme that dissolves the membrane attaching the ant's head to its body. The fly pupates in the detached head capsule, emerging two weeks later.[35]

What about that is weird? Various kinds of wasps plant their eggs in live insects.

[Dunamisdeos]

That's weird too

[pikachu17]

Some of them alter the host's mental chemistry so they protect the wasp larva with their life.

[Eric Blank]

Some of them just leave the host completely paralyzed while the larva eats their guts.

pikachu17 was stung by one as a kid

[pisskop]

You mean he's a wasp in human skin?

[ChairmanPoo]

No a fly

[pisskop]

So when people say they wish they were a fly on some girl's wall it's not all hyperbole?

[overseer05-15]

Nah, zombie is literally-dead-but-not. Perhaps a new term, the Lesser Zombie, could be used to denote someone legally-dead-but-not.

Lawmbie, dead to the law.

In which case... who or what is Zom

No, John. You are the demons

So, today I leaned that I sometimes start quietly humming whenever I'm really immersed in reading something.
I have never noticed that myself, but according to my girlfriend I've always been doing it.

Wouldn't even be that strange, but she says my most used songs are the Tetris theme, Pachabels Kanon, Narwhals by MrWeebl and the Soviet National Anthem.

Now I can't stop wondering if I've ever sat in the train to work reading a book and humming really weird shit without even knowing.

[ChairmanPoo]

Eh it happens.  I've found myself humming  "No motherland without you" while doing trephines.

Don't worry too much. It's a common thing   after KGB sleeper cell conditioning
