I never get tired of seeing this particular parasite. I don't know why.

Moving this video to berticus's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

found this as well, among the "parasite" tagged clips:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Cricket-Infected-with-Parasitic-Gordian-Worm

no dupe factor, tho, as yours is a distinct improvement.

and i voted for both, especially since thx to tedbater there, we easily found out what this diabolical xenomorph is called...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordian_worm

and most fittingly, i might add.

*beg

berticus cannot send this video to Beggar's Corner because berticus does not have enough Power Points - ignoring beg request by berticus. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)

*beg

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter berticus.

ooh, boy this is gonna ruffle some feathers, but I wonder if, metaphorically speaking, we can say that *religion performs a similar function? (Idea not my own, but suggested by Dan Dennett)

Adding video to channels (Religion) - requested by Trancecoach.

I believe ideas, like religion, can act as viruses and cause people to do things they wouldn't normally do (like fly planes into buildings), but I'm going to have to say *removechannel religion.
