So it's not exactly what I think of when I hear the term ZOMBIE, but it's pretty dang creepy. :devil:

They thought I was nuts when I told them that the end of the world would not be to the sound of a big bang but the moan of the undead.

That is pretty cool and creepy at the same time. Now let's just hope no Cordyceps species evolves that specializes in parasitism of Homo sapiens:eek::D

They look like a beautiful work of art, but then, most plants do.

I never thought I'd feel sorry for an ant.

Awesome! I developed the concept of a human version of that to use in a Gamma World RPG campaign that I DM'd a long time ago. I didn't know about this stuff at the time; my inspiration came from the "screamers" in the movie A Boy and His Dog. But yeah... zombie fungus. Bad stuff.

And that is indeed an unsettling video. Creepy, creepy shit.
