September 29, 200718 yr In my area of the states, 6 boys and young men have recently been killed by a 'brain-eating amoeba' which inhabits the bottom layers of freshwater lakes, and, when people rough-house in lakes and get shoved to the lakebed, the amoeba enters through their nose, and into their brain cavity. Over the course of a few days it kills the victim by devouring their brain. In the entire world, only a few hundred cases have occured since it was discovered in Australia in the 1960s. Scary or what, eh? :shock: This is real, and there isn't much that beats it on the freaky factor... Discuss. Alright, I've got a link to an article...: http://www.kpho.com/news/14214579/detail.html# There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves.

September 29, 200718 yr . . . Nice. Whats "nice" about it? I shall take my flock underneath my own wing, and kick them right the [bleep] out of the tree. If they were meant to fly, they won't break their necks on the concrete.So, what is 1.111... equal to?10/9. Please don't continue.
September 29, 200718 yr I guess this is bad. I'm not sure what you want us to say about it. It's not like we know anymore than what's on the internet. This warrants no serious conversation, it's just news. Like so many people have recently said, we can look up news ourselves.
September 29, 200718 yr Is this brain eating thing worldwide? Yes. Check under your bed before you go to sleep.
September 29, 200718 yr This isn't good, I usally swim alot in the Great Lakes :-k Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.
September 29, 200718 yr thats terriable... i feel sorry for the familys Owner of a Quest cape since 9/11/08It's not about the other people, its about shooting cute furry things that explode.
September 29, 200718 yr I don't go swimming into lakes for exactly that reason. I also don't leave the house, because i might get run over by a car
September 29, 200718 yr That's why I don't go swimming in lakes. Never know what's in there. :?That's why I never go outside, never know who or what is out there... :-w A friend to all is a friend to none.

September 29, 200718 yr The odds that that amoebea will eat your brain is about the same as getting struck by a lightning.
September 29, 200718 yr I read about this this morning. Pretty strange, but I didn;t have time to really go through it (had somewhere to be and I woke up late). Command the Murderous Chalices! Drink ye harpooners! drink and swear, ye men that man the deathful whaleboat's bow- Death to Moby Dick!BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
