Amoeba Eats Boy's Brain

Holy crap. I will think about this and obsess over it every time I go swimming/take a bath/drink a glass of water. I think we're all hypochondriacs when it comes to things that eat your brain.

The thing that scares me most is that this isn't even a parasite. It is just regular ol' amoeba swimming around eating algae until you go into his house and stir shit up. Now you got a pissed off amoeba, and apparently when you eat algae all day, a bowl of grey matter looks extra yummy.

It reminds me of that old schoolyard joke:

You (as you are rubbing the victim's scalp): Guess what this is?
Victim: What?
You: A brain-eating amoeba. Guess what it's doing?
Victim: What?
You: Starving
Victim: You butt-face.

Oh well, better dumb than dead, I suppose.
