Post by thread:[OT] Mind control parasite

Would you believe a mind control parasite that is spread by cats, transfers to rats brains and that makes rats easier to catch? And, as a bonus, may increase the rate of Schizophrenia in humans? And may not. http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-News.asp?NewsNum=547 RM _______ Ref: Matthew McMahon

Some time was spent looking at toxoplasma. The information in the link above was presented, as well as the conjecture that because a large propoportion (I think 90%) of the human population is infected, it may explain some "fearless" behaviour such as reckless driving

I'll guarantee you that you have never seen a bigger bunch of wimps driving in your life. Bill -- Psst... Hey, you... Buddy... Want a kitten? straycatblues.petfinder.org

There are few things that get under my skin faster than that. Here in North Carolina many people do the entire ramp at 35 MPH and merge at the same speed. They seem suprised at how fast the other traffic is traveling. Who would have guessed? Grrr.. Lyle
