Nah, your assumption is correct. I might be biased since I'm American and have lived in NYC, but NYC > London. One reason is London shuts down too early. ffs even Budapest has a pulse past 11 pm.

Parasitism, where one organism adapts its whole mode of living around the exploitation of another, is one of the great marvels of evolution. And on occasions, it can become wonderfully sophisticated.

In this case, the fungus spreads inside the poor weevil, taking chemical control of the creature and compelling it to climb. When it reaches a suitable height - for the fungus - the insect will lock down on the stem and die. Look and you can see the glaze has gone from its eyes.

Meanwhile, fuelled by the weevil's insides, the fungus will start to grow those exquisite fruiting bodies. The capsules at the top will eventually burst and release countless tiny spores to infect new prey.

The bug world has some freaky (and cool in a macabre way) stuff going on.

Fun fact: That's what the Pokemon Paras and Parasect were based on.

Yes but that was more about the rich going to war with the poor for earths survival and resources.

As goofy as that series could be and not all of them were made very well, I have to admit I love that series, the main heroines journey is probably the best thing about the series.

A French company has been found liable for the death of an employee who had a cardiac arrest while having sex with a stranger on a business trip.

A Paris court ruled that his death was an industrial accident and that the family was entitled to compensation.

The firm had argued the man was not carrying out professional duties when he joined a guest in her hotel room.

But under French law an employer is responsible for any accident occurring during a business trip, judges said.

The provider defended its position by insisting that sexual activity was normal, "just like as taking a shower or a meal".

In its ruling, the Paris appeals court upheld this view.

An employee on a business trip is entitled to social protection "over the whole time of his mission" and regardless of the circumstances, it said.
