GLIK$ Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 like ever ever. Cymothoa exigua is a parasitic crustacean of the family Cymothoidae. This parasite attaches itself at the base of the spotted rose snapper's (Lutjanus guttatus) tongue, extracting blood through the claws on its front three pairs of legs. As the parasite grows, less and less blood reaches the tongue, and eventually the organ atrophies from lack of blood. The parasite then replaces the fish's tongue by attaching its own body to the muscles of the tongue stub. The fish is able to use the parasite just like a normal tongue, except that it has to share its food with the parasite. It appears that the parasite does not cause any other damage to the host fish. Once C. exigua replaces the tongue, it supplements its diet with food particles, thereby relieving strain on the host's circulatory system. This is the only known case of a parasite functionally replacing a host organ. ------- This is why the ocean is fucking retarded. Like it's the Midwest America of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinky the kid Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 i remember hearing about this one story that was on the news or some shit, it was about this chick who slopped up some dude at a party. days after giving head to said dude, the girl went to the doctors office complaining of a sore throat or some shit. when the doctor examined her throat, he found some fucking maggots. i dont remember all the details but apparently the girl called the dude up and tried to find out what the fuck he did to her, he wouldnt answer the calls, police got involved and had the dudes dick examined. they found maggot eggs in the dude cock. now apparently you can only get dick bugs two ways: 1. having them put in there (but why?!) or 2. fucking a corpse. turns out homeboy worked as a mortician. he was sued by the girl and the family of the dead broad he was smashing.
