Things Named After Obama: A Parasitical Worm
[High Praise! to Oppo]
Hairworms are unique parasites often encountered by the public. Hairworms infect crickets and grow within their host’s body cavity to lengths of 15-30 centimeters. Infected crickets often invade homes and release worms into toilets, hot tubs, pet water bowls and fish tanks, unduly alarming the public since hairworms are not parasites of humans.
When hairworms complete their development, they manipulate the cricket’s behavior forcing them to commit suicide by jumping into water.
Maybe they should’ve named it after Ted Kennedy.

‘A parasitical worm, who invades his host and manipulates its behavior, forcing it to commit suicide.’ I’d say that that is a most apt definition of Obama and quite possibly prophetic.

Obama is the leader of the Social Parasites Party.
(Oppo also deserves Bacon!.)

“Recently, a new species of hairworm was discovered from the Lake Victoria region of Kenya, Africa. The new species was named Paragordius obamai, in honor of President Barack Obama,”
It just seems right that a parasite should be named after him…

Oh, he’s a human parasite all right.
