All we wanna do is eat your brains

I'm not a huge fan of zombie culture (like the "protest lurch" that was held in Madison last year), but this article from MSNBC was too good to pass up (click heading for link to full story)

6 Die From Brain-Eating Amoeba in Lakes

PHOENIX - It sounds like science fiction but it's true: A killer amoeba living in lakes enters the body through the nose and attacks the brain where it feeds until you die.

Even though encounters with the microscopic bug are extraordinarily rare, it's killed six boys and young men this year. The spike in cases has health officials concerned, and they are predicting more cases in the future.

And if you haven't seen the machinima music video of Jonathan Coulton's Re: Your Brains that this brings to mind, it's worth wasting a few minutes of your life on.
