“Bagger 288!” – The most bizarre video I’ve seen all month

Posted by Pete Berg on Wednesday, December 15th, 2010 at 1:40 pm

“This is the Bagger 288! A monstrous, titanic killing machine the likes of which the world has never seen! A horrific leviathan of unimaginable power designed with merciless destruction as its sole purpose! But it is here for the defence of mankind! It was created as our only hope of survival! We have written this lovely song to honour it in its terrible beauty.”

“Dr. Bugs” lets a Bot Fly mature in his own hand

“Mark W. Moffett (a.k.a. “Doctor Bugs”) tells the horrifying yet humorous story of a parasitic larva called a botfly entering his hand during an expedition to Belize. The maggot took ten weeks to grow to “maturity,” surviving Mark’s subsequent trips to Honduras, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. It finally emerged on 2 December 2010, at the end of a meeting with the environmentalist E.O. Wilson at Harvard.”

Gross. But pretty cool too.
