It wasn't me. Probably. But still, this is the worst bit:

Quote:

Over a period of eight days, the wasp larva consumes the roach's internal organs in an order which guarantees that the roach will stay alive, at least until the larva enters the pupal stage and forms a cocoon inside the roach's body.

The larva instinctively knows to do that. Apparently it's possible to be born knowing how to prolong suffering in the natural world.

Intelligent Design. The notion that things like those in Viridis' posts are the result of an intelligent self-aware being sitting down and saying "hmm now what does the world need, how about... organ-eating parasites, yessssss" is as terrible as anything I can imagine.

I remember posting something about parasites that basically use mind control on the hosts, but only following someone else posting something about parasites.

I'll try and corner a different niche with Female Genital Mutilation!

The answer is you. All of you.

You are all terrible people.

No one said that though so I'll have to go with Viridis, because love is a terrible thing.

Hm�

Favorite mad scientist.

Fictional or real. What makes them mad is up to interpretation and is for you to argue.

Tesla

Hm. Does Leonardo da Vinci count? He certainly had the whole "hyper-advanced gadgets" angle covered.

Nah. Wasn't insane enough. Anyway, I am going to take this

Did some absolutely balls-out stuff with electricity ([spoiler]teleportation and cloning, obviously) and is one of the best things in a great movie.

Oh, and he's played by David Bowie. You can't tell me that's not awesome.

Goddamn you both! Though if you're both going with Tesla, then I'm going to add even more credance to his being the ultimate mad scientist theory and go with the Tesla from Sanctuary. He's a vampire who wants to bring back the entire vampire race and also can shoot lightning from his hands, as well as being an inventor of advanced tech.

He's pretty cool.
