Forget guinea worms. Is there an organization devoted to eradicating suriname toads? There needs to be and I don’t even care if they’re not dangerous or a pest.

There are much worse things on the internet than that lotus pod boob. Would you like to see? I can think of at least three things.

1. Jarsquatter
2. 2girls1cup
3. Lick my hairy nutsack, you crazy ass bitch
4. tubgirl
5. goatse

Jarsquatter is new too… Here’s a link for the foolishly curious. http ://jarsquatter.com/

Get a necklace with some kind of locket and keep the ring in the locket.

That wouldn’t work, the locket wouldn’t be safe or secure enough. We’d need some sort of toggle bar.

You could wear it on some sort of necklace. I remember a thread about it. 😃

Kind of turns into a painful pimple kind of thing. To get rid of them, you put vasaline on the irritation and the worms tunnels up to get air. Then you have to squeeze it just right and the worm pops out whole.

I will find you, and I will hurt you.

In other news, having a graphic imagination sucks.

Well, there were the scientists who fucked with the eyeless gene on the fruit fly so that it developed eyes all over its body, [like this little guy.](http://www.ozdros.com/images/dpp-eyless50.jpg)

Ok.  
I hadn’t seen the Surinam Toad.

I clicked it. I have to say…Lotus boob is worse. (though I think i’ve seen a Lotus boob where they had teeth- that was the scary one, the lotus pie was meh).  
The toad though… it was squeamish, but not bad at all actually. I think because I kept saying to myself- this is Biology. This is cool. You like biology. This is FASCINATING, DAMMIT! FASCINATING. Do not get squeamish DAMMIT! THINK ABOUT THE CYCLE OF LIFE!

So yeah.  
Surinam Toad. not bad. I could probably watch it again. Not going to. But I could.  
The Lotus boob- i’ve seen it, and I’m good. Have yet to click on that one this thread.

The Fly- That was awesome. I could click that multiple times.  
But that’s science. I’m down with that one. Gene mutations and all that- dealt with that plenty.

I’ve also seen that one as 1man1jar. General thought is, like 2g1c, it’s a hoax. It’s hard to imagine anyone suffering that and not flinching or making a sound.

And yeah, the surinam toad, not that gross on first watching.

You should all browse more photoshop contests! Really trains your mind to watch for shock images. Almost like taking a grain of salt with every eyeful, but not quite that painful.

I like this idea. 3. Buckeyes! has potential to become nice and obscure, just the way we like our memes. Of course, 3. Lick my hairy nutsack you crazy bitch. is just about perfect in every way (I almost Wildest Billed that - “Licky my hairy nutsack…” 😃 ).
