Six die from brain-eating amoeba in lakes

  • Amoeba's gotta eat.
  • Amoebas gotta eat.
  • *eats apostrophe*
  • I need an Anita Melba à la Amoeba, Allah.
  • So let me get this straight, 6 Americans had their brains eaten by amoebas. How could they tell?
  • They started talking like Basil Drak.
  • Pretty scary as normal zombies don't multiply by splitting in two (that is, without the help of a chain-saw).
  • I was just a little perturbed by the story, as I prefer to allow my brains to eaten by idleness, junk culture and alcohol.
  • What Hank said. What Hank's ed. Evolution of the fittest. Amoebas ruled the world for a while. Couple billion years after brief burst of supping on human dna and hey, we'll be baaaack!
  • I'm voting for the brain-eating amoeba party.
  • What makes you think I have amoebe in my ceramoebrum and my ceramoebrellum?
  • "So let me get this straight, 6 Americans had their brains eaten by amoebas. How could they tell?" Hitler said so.
  • Holy Crap! I was thinking this was some polluted African lake near an Eboli cave or something. Turns out it's some polluted American reservoir near a greedy tourist resort called Lake Havasu City. "What!?!?! Put up signs? Bad for tourism. *sigh I guess I won't be hittin' the hot springs much this winter. It's getting to be a pretty mean world out there. *shuts door, peers out peephole
  • Amoeba got into my brain once. My brain ate it. Then my brain went after the amoeba's family and ate them. Then it went after the amoeba's ex-girlfriends, it's Uncle Freddie who lives in a septic pond in Madison, it's college roomate, and ate them too. Then it half-ate one - an amoeba the first amoeba didn't even know, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong damn time - and spat it back out in the reservoir, as a grisly warning to the other amoebas. Hey, what do you want me to say? That's how my brain rolls, homeslice.
  • Uh, sure, amoebas, ooohh, scary. Just want to see them fighting the toxoplasma gondii our cat overlords already have infected us with... you people think laughing at LOLcats is normal? Well, think again! *drools, attempts to escape long-sleeved shirt*
  • I was reading a website about NZ tramping/hiking tracks yesterday that said that in NZ, you shouldn't duck your head underwater in any of the hot springs, because there's a risk of amoebic meningitis. I've always heard you shouldn't put your head under, but now that I know why I think I'll be avoiding all the touristy hot pools we've been to in the past.
  • hee hee Fes hee.
  • So THAT'S what happened to Uncle Freddie.
  • "Touristy hot pools" sounds porny.
  • Fes' brain is Keyser Soze!!!
  • *shuts door, peers out peephole Candygram.
  • I say you stick one of these up your nose, then eat a burger tainted with Mad Cow. Then take bets on which one kills you first. 1, 2, 3, GO!
  • I, for one, wish to welc..... sorry, don't have the will to go on.
