Parasitology Flashback
During my undergrad, I took a course in parasitology, or the study of parasites. While this class didn't provide me with a lot of information I can use (outside of cool small talk, unless I visit third world countries), it was hands down one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken. One of the creepy critters we learned about was called Dicrocoelium dentriticum, and it has one of the craziest life-cycles of any organism ever. The comedic genius at The Oatmeal has illustrated said life-cycle. Please enjoy.

Haha, your labels for this post are funny too. And what did your song of the moment do to be put in "time-out"? :D
Also, my word verification is viaststi. That sounds like a parasite of some kind.
hahahaha. Loved it. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I ran into some issues with copyright stuff. The song of the moment may be finito.
