    Stop right there. Don’t go any further. Some things can’t be unseen. You’re brain isn’t a hard drive from which you can permanently erase images. These images will sear into your neocortex, much to your eyeballs’ dismay. Scroll down to find out why. But if you don’t want to know why and you want to see previous posts, close your eyes and give your mouse wheel a few rotations, or press that Page Down button a few times. You’ll be safe.

    Behold the parasite known as the African Eye Worm. Yes, that’s a parasitic worm in that poor soul’s eyeball.

    Read this Wikipedia article (link above) for all the gory details, but suffice it to say that the vectors for this parasite include bites from the horse, deer, and mango flies, and that you don’t want this infection.

      Spellathon, that is terribly racist. I cannot even begin to believe that you would deign to call the poor African communities “creatures.” I believe that litigation is necessary in this case of a modern-day hate crime.

      Very interesting and gross.

      hey “spellathon is racist”
      don’t you think the knee-jerk reaction of assuming someone is racist is a bit…racist? and hate crime? wtf are you talking about. every crime is a hate crime and when you start saying the punishments for crimes should be different based on the victims race then you are saying that we aren’t all equal.
      so if anyone is a racist, it is you :P funny huh?
