Look, I'm at work, in a beige office cubicle, and I don't have much time to research this, but this "Cymothoa exigua" (aka "tongue-eating louse") came to my attention via one of our few but incredibly dedicated and intelligent (clever, exceptionally discerning) readers.
It's a tongue parasite! A vampire! It attaches itself to your (if you're a fish) tongue and then sucks all the blood out till your tongue atrophies and then it acts like it's your prosthetic tongue.
DO NOT SLEEP WITH YOUR MOUTHS OPEN!
Please click here or here for more information. Thank you, intrepid reader, and thank you "WTF Evolution?"
Gross!
