We still can't get over how sickeningly tragic this whole thing is.

And with more and more coming out, it only gets worse.

We reported earlier on Rudy Eugene, the Miami man who was shot dead by police when he discovered naked and eating the face off of another person, and sadly, we now know the victim to be 65-year-old Ronald Poppo, a homeless man who is now fighting for his life at Jackson Memorial Hospital with nothing but his lips, beard, and chin left.

More bizarre, however, is the information slowly coming out about the 31-year-old perpetrator, a majority of which is from his former classmates at North Miami Beach High School, who knew him as an "easy-going" young man who stayed out of trouble until he later began experimenting with drugs.

Most people have heard of the Japanese delicacy Puffer fish, or fugu.

It is a fish that is so poisonous (1200 times more poisonous than cyanide) that it can only be prepared by a chef with at least two years of training.

The fish is infamous for killing Bandō Mitsugorō VIII, a famous japanese actor, who ordered four fugu livers (the most poisonous part) because he knew the poison wouldn't hurt him (because he was so awesome).

He died seven hours later.

A researcher even claims that the fugu poison can zombify a person by making them appear dead and then eliminate higher brain function and then have them come out of their "death" coma. Arising as a zombie.

Not many people actually believe that though.

The main reason it seems that people eat fugu, is because it gets you high.

While high doses of the fugu's neurotoxin slowly paralyze you until you slip into a coma and die, small small small doses give you a tingling, light headed calm that can only be achieved in the last few seconds before drowning.

That all sounds way too intense to feel a high like that.

We'll stick to hardcore drugs, thank you very much.

We are OBVIOUSLY joking about the drugs.

But seriously, the best high is basically almost dying? No thanks.

That's why they are now breeding fugu that don't develop the toxin.

This has connoisseurs everywhere up in arms that anyone can now prepare and serve these "harmless" fugu.

It's all about the danger!

If you're into almost dying for a piece of bland fish.

We DO NOT recommend anyone tries fugu. Or even gets near fugu.

Matter of fact, don't even look at pictures of fugu to be safe.

A new study unveiled the discovery of a virus that takes contorl of caterpillar's brains.

Once the virus has control it makes them climb to the treetops, then liquifies their bodies.

Their liquid body then pours down onto the ground, infecting all the lower leaves with the virus, ensuring the spread of the virus.

A researcher said that:

"[The virus] ends up using just about all of the caterpillar to make more virus, and there are other genes in the virus that then make the caterpillar melt. So it becomes a pool of millions of virus particles that end up dropping onto the foliage below where it can infect other moths that eat those leaves."

“Zombification” has been seen in insects before but usually because of a fungus, not a virus.

And we all know what viruses can do.

Mutate then spread to humans!

Srsly though, don’t worry, the virus only infects invertebrates…

…for now.
