Body Snatchers

Category: Prime Stream

Murphy's Body Snatchers Law states that if a body can be snatched, it will be. Watch a wasp turn a cockroach into a zombie by blocking a neurotransmitter and then leading it by its antenna to the dining table to be eaten [via Slashdot]

Reminds me of a recent short story I read. Greg Egan's Steve Fever at MIT Technology Review.

The brain is such a strange playground!
