You don't want to see this, Nevermind.

"A rare parasite which burrows into host fish before eating and replacing their tongues with itself has been found off the Jersey coast."

It really doesn't help the fact that it was found off the Jersey coast

[Johncarllos]

I know all about that thing.
It's the only case of a parasitic relationship where the parasite replaces a part of the creature.

ANYWAYS:

Like it says, most horrifying bugs in the world.
Also, swearing in the article.

And Japanese hornets.
Oh gawd.

Wow...
That parasite is a #####in' dildouche.

[Mikero]

Yeah I saw that parasite on Cracked.com last year at school.

It's only creepy if you stare at the first picture for a while.

[ASR]

It's only creepy if you think about how maybe they can replace OUR tongues!

[Mikero]

They can't.

Yet.

[ASR]

Now that I am thinking about it I am thinking it would be rather cool to have a parasite for a tongue!

[Captain Sanoguchi]

It'd be cooler to have raptors for arms.

[Johncarllos]

Which reminds me that Bangor has an Adult movie/merchandise store.
They were not getting much business.

They put a full model of a raptor on top of the sign.
Business is booming.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

'Cuz dinosaurs get people in the mood?

[Mikero]

Not dinosaurs. Raptors. Raptors and Barry White albums.

But not both! Never both! That's like crossing Ghostbuster beams.

I'm already tired of that fad. :/

The last one was great, though.

[ASR]

All of those were lame except the last one.

Here's a double-dose of Always Sunny:

[ChaosVortex]

I still like the Kanye stuff.

Not the first time this happened, but this is the first time I hear someone died in the process

[Edgecrusher]

I love how happy that kid was that he had stabbed the dude in the chest with a samurai sword.

[ASR]

"I saw the look on his face he was like O_O"

[ChaosVortex]

This is my best attempt at screencapping the moment.

[Mikero]

I'm already tired of that fad. :/

Since this is the first I've seen of this fad, I didn't mind.

Same to you, ASR. Especially since both your things were unfunny! I'm sure it's funny if you've seen it, buuuuut...

[ASR]

I contest that Kitten Mittens is funny whether or not any context is supplied.

[ChaosVortex]

It's more cute than it is funny, but it it really just makes me smile.

[Majikn]

Whenever you put something weird on a cat, I EXPECT it to get itself hurt trying to remove it.

I'm more... I don't even have a word for what I feel about that guy's face when he looks at the camera. He looks TOO entertained and amused. It's really weird.

[Johncarllos]

Kitten mittens is hilarious.

[ASR]

I don't even have a word for what I feel about that guy's face when he looks at the camera. He looks TOO entertained and amused. It's really weird.

Charlie Day is one crazy mother#####er. Craziest/funniest guy on TV right now.

[Mikero]

I contest that Kitten Mittens is funny whether or not any context is supplied.

OK that is humorous.

[ChaosVortex]

HAHAHA!

[MOX]

WOAH

[AlexThePenguin]

So, today I was talking to someone about sciencey nature stuff, and we started talking about autumn leaves and why, in North America, deciduous trees turn all sorts of reds and oranges, whereas they only turn yellow in Europe. He was saying that the theory for why this is has to do with our mountain ranges.

European ranges run lattitudinally, meaning that when the cold weather comes, the animals are basically stuck in the northern parts.

Contrarily, North American mountain ranges run longitudinally, meaning that the animals can go down to lower grounds as cold weather creeps in.

The theory states that the leaves turn red and orange, Nature's danger colours, to keep animals from eating them.

[Mikero]

Animals aren't so dumb they need LEAVES to tell them what to do!

[ChaosVortex]

Well, there goes that theory.

[Edgecrusher]

That theory would require there to be some sort of benefit to the tree, or it doesn't make sense. Trees aren't altruistic.

[Majikn]

What's altruistic about not wanting animals to eat your leaves?

I mean I wouldn't care if they were eaten AFTER they fell.

[ChaosVortex]

I don't know about you, but if I accidentally dropped my PSP, I wouldn't want YOU to eat it.

[Mikero]

Haha that actually made me laugh out loud a bit.
Even though I don't even want to be NEAR a PSP.

[ASR]

Second one is gold.

[Johncarllos]

Bahahah that second one is sweet.

[Majikn]

I don't know about you, but if I accidentally dropped my PSP, I wouldn't want YOU to eat it.

If the PSP was completely useless and irreparable I wouldn't care if someone ate it!

And if you drop a PSP it's likely to end up that way, so... yeah.

[ASR]

If the PSP was completely useless and irreparable

It is.

This is giant salamander! He wants to say hello!

[preventerWIND]

Hi!

[Mikero]

First two: Wow.
Third: Best mind##### image yet, haha. [spoiler]Don't worry, it IS MMM safe.[/spoiler]

[ASR]

Is the mind##### that:
[spoiler]They can't possibly be where they're standing if it's a reflection in a mirror?[/spoiler]
Or something else I'm missing?

Love the first two. REALLY love the second in particular.

[Mikero]

You're missing it.

[ASR]

Now I see it.

EDIT: I'm still fascinated by it.

[Mikero]

Me too and I've been looking at it for days.

[spoiler]Is it a bum? Is it an arm?
Well it IS an arm, but it looks like her bum![/spoiler]

Edit: Heh; http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1792503

[preventerWIND]

All 3 are great. There's tons like the first one, I'll get around to posting some good ones.

Second one, oddly enough, was the only one that made me chuckle out loud. I am heartless.

[Majikn]

I just realized I have never ever questioned the idea of filling a castle with lava.

[ASR]

You say that like there's something that IS believable in those games.

[Majikn]

Even so. I found THAT much believable without ever really thinking about it.

How does one snatch an owl out of the air without getting their ass kicked?

[Mikero]

Seems fake. Held it with one hand and took a photo with the other? I really doubt THAT. I could suspend my disbelief for the rest but that seems...

[Johncarllos]

Huh, weird.
