Some hippie once told me that everything in nature is beautiful.
Enjoy your lunch.

Hey

guyfie and

glinted, any way we could get these things to work on humans? I have this totally cool idea ...

	The classic approach is to rub a little honey on the skin. (Reply to this)(Thread)

You can't wash the honey off, though. Eventually a fungal infection will overtake you and you will die. The hard part is getting everyone else to coat themselves with honey and wait for your spores to infect them. The human immune system is pretty effective, but our sanitary habits are ridiculous. They will probably sanitize and bury your body before your spores get to infect a single person.

	What if mix the honey and spores together in a watered down mixture loaded into a large vaporizor for airborne dispersion via cropduster? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That won't work. It also won't work in a dry environment. You need a population of humans who don't like bathing, who rub honey on their bodies, and who live in a rainforest.

One possible alternative would be some sort of honey bearing foot powder and find a way to discourage people from ever changing their socks. But when the fungus takes hold, they will be highly motivated to go barefoot. Maybe you could mutate a fungus to psychologically motivate people to want to bind their feet.

Or I could just unleash it in Florida, which was kind of my target test market already. That's kind of like a rainforest. I was thinking adding spores to suntan lotion might work, yes?

The fungus has already shown, in the ants at least, the ability to minduplate the mind into behavior that causes it's own perpetuation - nature is adaptive that way. From my own observations I have come to believe that hepatitis does the same thing. It has already been documented that it (hep) does in fact cause "mysterious" changes in the behavior of it's host, such as short temper and irratability. I've also noticed that those whom I've meet who've been infected with it invariably have exhibited another two behaviors: First, the believe that there is no way they can infect anyone else with it; Second, an overwhelming compulsion to engage in the very behaviors that cause it to spread.

Obviously infecting homeless people would be pretty easy, I would imagine. Yet, while they are not people that would be terribly missed, neither would the be the real target demographic that I'm aiming for.

Then it hit me: I just mix the spores into cocaine and give it away at bars! The coke heads snort it and the spores, along with the drug, easily pass right through the thin sinus membranes and go directly into their brains to take root. It's not like people clean ever clean their noses with anything other than their pinky fingers, and it's pretty humid in there to start with. Plus that's exactly the target group that I would love see have their skulls split open and giant mushrooms start growning out of their heads.

Sadly, Osama bin-Laden turned down my request for funding because he says all my plans "promote too much wanton slaughter" for Al Qaeda's tastes. What a bunch of pussies.

I must be a hippie because I think the images of the fungus growing from the insects is strangely beautiful.

Now the wasp that injects its larvae into an ant so they can consume it from the inside out? That's disturbing.

Oh, there are fungus that grow in the human sinus cavity, but I don't remember what it's called. I'm sure you can find it online along with photos of a guy who lost his face to it.

	So when I sneeze I'm blowing spores? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No, I should have said there are fungus that can grow in the human sinus cavity. It's rare. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Here I was thinking I was spreading filth and disease. What a letdown. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I know. I didn't mean to get your hopes up. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Thank you, my scalp is now crawling. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I had that problem too, but then I stopped taking minithins. (Reply to this)(Parent)
