The Wisdom of Parasites

It looks like BoingBoing and a few other websites beat me to linking to this article, but if you haven't read it yet I highly recommend doing so. It's about a wasp who's specialty is 'retooling' a cockroach's central nervous system. Very interesting.

Don't bother reading the comments. They are stupid and somewhat depressing--a sick reminder of how obsessed some people can be about the Evolution/Intelligent Design argument de jour. Earth to Morons: THEY'RE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE, YOU FUCKING TWITS!
