If anyone saw the X-Files episode ''Firewalker'', can you please tell me if there is any type of fungus or plant that grows through it's host's throat, just like in the episode.

Here at Intel we make processors on 12 inch wafers. And, the individual processors on the wafers are called die. And, I am employed to check these die. That is why I am the DieChecker.

Hydrocephalus is to much water on the brain for short/layman terms. Didn't some cultures also wrap there heads and miss shape there heads on purpose. I'v seen some pretty dramatic examples very strange. However starchild is a nasty example of a deformation, must have had a tough go at life.
