A while back we told you about the tarantula hawk, the most painful wasp in the world, that hunts tarantulas. Apparently spiders and wasps have a rivalry as big as cats and dogs because here is another spider-hunting wasp, but this one is just weird!
Japanese scientists reported in the Journal of Experimental Biology have observed that the wasp known as the reclinervellus nielseni somehow manipulates a spider to build a special web for its young. In return for this kindness the spider is devoured by the young as they come of age. Here is disturbing video of what happens.

No one is sure how the wasp and its young manipulate the spider. Perhaps it injects a hormone that confuses the spider’s normal behavior. If you’d like to dig into the the scientific data is available.
In my experiments with people I do influence minds, but it’s nothing at all like this! Some of the things that happen in the animal kingdom, particularly with insects, is just plain unpleasant! I’m starting to actually feel sorry for spiders. The wasps are giving them a really hard time.
Seems like one of this’s years presidential candidates is full of huge ideas for those not currently being spoken for, although lacking in a few areas, mainly having a pulse, Mr A. Zombie believes he has a fighting, or should I say “biting” chance to come out on top in 2012.
The Telegraph writes:
After being helped into a NASCAR uniform the zombie candidate was lifted into a race car and taken on a few laps around Charlotte’s Speedway track.
Mr A. Zombie and his wife are part of a promotional stunt by American network AMC to get their post-apocalyptic television series The Walking Dead on the Dish Network, that dropped the show after a contract dispute.
“My husband is running for president, because he could have taken a certain issue issue lying down, well, because he was already lying down, but he decided to stand up and pledge to fight for equal viewing opportunities for all,” Ms Morgan-Zombie said.
She added her husband was working tirelessly to improve the lives of his fellow zombies and get them more jobs.
“He has vowed to increase the workforce for every zombie out there,” she said.

Well, we might not need to go to those extremes just yet, but it sure doesn’t seem that far off when a story like the one below comes out!
A man in Miami, naked, and high on “bath salts” (a horrific new drug) left behind a gruesome scene just off of one of Miami’s major highways on Saturday.
The 31-year old man, Rudy Eugene of Miami, attacked another man in a very animal-like fashion while in a ‘zombie-like’ state under the influence of this terrible drug which, ended in Rudy tearing into the other man’s face with his mouth, then literally, eating the pieces of flesh he pulled off.
If this isn’t a sign of the Zombie Apocalypse, I don’t know what is. This new drug known as “bath salts” is gaining in popularity all over the world and gruesome stories like this are coming out more often than ever.
Please people, drugs are not ok, in any form at all.
You’ll never know the beauty of this world when your mind is clouded with foreign substances. Stay on the straight and narrow and enjoy the world for all it has to offer.
Life is beautiful, you are beautiful, remember that.

A naked man who chewed off the face of another man in what is being called a zombie-like attack may have been under the influence of “bath salts,” a drug referred to as the new LSD, according to reports from CNN affiliates in Miami.
The horrific attack occurred Saturday and was only stopped after a police officer shot the attacker several times, killing him.
Larry Vega witnessed the attack on Miami’s MacArthur Causeway. He told CNN affiliate WSVN he saw one naked man chewing off the face of another naked man.
“The guy was like tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him, ‘Get off!'” Vega told WSVN. “You know it’s like the guy just kept eating the other guy away, like ripping his skin.”
“When the officer approached him, told him to stop, pointed a gun at him, he turned around and growled like a wild animal and kept eating at the man’s face,” Fraternal Order of Police President Armando Aguilar told CNN affiliate WPLG.
