ewwwwwwwwwwwww

Simply because there haven't been any posts here in too long, and because for some bizarre reason disgusting is contagious -- that is, being disgusted makes you want to pass it on to someone else -- here's an article from the New York Times about a tapeworm.

Relevant bits:

"After purging, Rita discharged a tapeworm three feet long."

"Tapeworms sometimes reach a length of 30 feet and can live up to 20 years. They have a complex life cycle; in adult form they attach themselves by suction cup to the small intestine of vertebrates."

"The fishworm is a compact sex machine containing both male and female sex organs sufficient to produce and release up to a million eggs a day."

And to go along with that, disgusting pictures from the internet!!

But the good news is that soon you may be able to take a tapeworm instead of using birth control.
