      The worm died over a decade ago…

      And Kennedy seems to think the cause of death was eating his brain

      Kennedy said in the deposition that the doctor thought the spot on the scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”

        That’s just a sequence of events. “I stood up and then my car alarm went off” doesn’t mean those events are linked. The worm probably just doesn’t live that long or something.

        There are myriad things we can point to to mock these people but showing off our poor reading comprehension isn’t going to help.

    Amy: Fry Bobby, what happened to your brain slug?

    Farnsworth: Tsk, tsk. The poor guy starved to death.

    What they’re not telling is the worm died of starvation. It was likely the preferable alternative.

    The phrasing of “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died” implies that just a nibble of his brain was so toxic that it caused the parasitic worm to die. Hopefully RFK Jr. gets proper treatment and any lasting effects are healed. With a presidential race where the candidates’ mental faculties are such a point of contention, it seems like RFK Jr. will avoid much of the armchair doctors’ criticism despite his affliction because he’s not either of the two main candidates.

    Let’s hope they soon discover and rid him of all the lives ones which continue to devour his grey matter

    Presidential candidates looking good this year:

    Old guy who bicycles

    Old guy who golfs

    Guy with literal brain worms
