ALERT: article from the Lancet
The Lancet, England's most prestigious Medical Journal today announced the discovery of a new form of parasite in Human beings.

Named the Terrazeronicus, this tapeworm like parasite infects the nervous system of fat, middle aged, beer guzzling men. The prerequisit to infection seems to be chronic recto-cranial inversion. The infection spreads rapidly, with the Terrazeronicus eating its way up the spinal chord into the brain of the host.
Behavioural symptomatology includes an unusual degree of rudeness, also know as Insultophilia, as well as extreme homphobia and a convction that certain people have the genital structure of their opposite sex. The final stages of the infection prior to death by boredom, is the conviction of the patient that they are terribly clever while actually being tiresome, crude and extraordinarily vulgar. There is no known cure. The infestation is always fatal, which is probably best for the rest of us.
