psili sausage Posted September 6, 2010 I saw fungi like this on a david attenborough doco. Take over the nervous system and then erupt out of the head with a spore releasing shaft! Reminds me of that x-files episode where people were going crazy and then had shit fly out their mouths releasing spores... I get the impression they stole the idea from nature...

ref1ect1ons Posted September 6, 2010 Yeah someone Ralbathzar? put those in the youtube section, so I had just seen the david attenborough one when I saw this. Imagine if this shit happened to humans, like one of your friends is taken over by a parasitic fungus and suddenly has the urge to seek out deep dark places.

vual Posted September 7, 2010 wow... don't let the government get hold of that fungus... holy shit... un believable... out of this world... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicdirt Posted September 7, 2010 That reminds me of the time on Futurama when Fry ate something from a vending machine at a truck stop that was infested with worms. The worms took over his brain and turned him into a genius. Maybe Mcdonalds has isolated a strain of fungus that invades peoples brains and makes them keep coming back to eat garbage.

Imagine if this shit happened to humans, like one of your friends is taken over by a parasitic fungus and suddenly has the urge to seek out deep dark places. Yeah, I posted the clip. The fungus is cortyceps... I have very strange kind of respect for these guys. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordyceps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ref1ect1ons Posted September 7, 2010 BTW rabaelthazar, i find your lizard picture extremely annoying (in a lol kinda way), not because of the character but because the handlebars are completely disconnected from the chair with wheels. And even if the handlebars were connected to the seat it would be the most useless form of transport ever. Those two fukin wheels under the lizards seat annoy me the most, and the look on that stupid lizards face, ahh. Oh and the underarm hair and the back wings, which may be a bag. Those two fukin wheels under the seat really piss me off, it cant be like that. lol The octopus is nice thoguh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Deb-One-Amine Posted September 7, 2010 Maybe Mcdonalds has isolated a strain of fungus that invades peoples brains and makes them keep coming back to eat garbage.

ThunderIdeal Posted September 24, 2010 lmao what reflections said i'd also like to add that the dainty way that the lizard is gripping the handlebars, is annoying. to me. lol a truly bizarre little drawing. i forget where i read this one, but there are similar mind control strategies in nature. i think this one went exactly like this but details may vary. a wasp stings a caterpillar which becomes a rooted-to-the-spot zombie, it's only purpose now is to rabidly thrash towards any movement. the wasp lays its eggs nearby and the caterpillar helps to fend off any would-be egg-eaters.

Rabaelthazar Posted September 24, 2010 Did a youtube search after reading your post, Thunderideal, and found this. Also, this was a goodie ... and apologies to anyone else who finds my ancient fresco annoying. Blame the original inhabitants of my neck of the woods.

ThunderIdeal Posted September 28, 2010 also the handlebars are like a headless jester, being pushed around on the axle of a wheel that simply cannot be described as round. show us more of your mind-boggling frescos. i'd like to see your avatar enlarged, i think it was posted somewhere...

Rabaelthazar Posted September 28, 2010 I think this must have been a tribal elder... that bird, I don't know.... his familiar? And here's the octopus, possibly an extinct creature that used to be native to these parts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rabaelthazar Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Oh, and one more... I stumbled across this one about a year ago... my interpretation (and of course it's only guess work) is that it's a ceremonial painting done by the natives while undergoing a shamanic ritual. Clearly the natives motor skills were not at peak. Edited September 28, 2010 by Rabaelthazar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
