AHHHHHH - Zombies are REAL!!!

No, seriously. They are.

Despite my last post which was made in fun, zombies do really exist in the animal world. Tonight I stumbled across this slideshow - and am now really creeped out. Parasites that control the host. There is even one that affects us! The slideshow was created by Discover Magazine so they should be genuine.

Check out the slideshow and become slightly less comfortable with the natural world. Pass this on to your favorite science teacher before Halloween.
