A tongue that eats your food while you eat your food. It’s like foodception up in here.

And it also shits into your mouth after it eats.

If you enjoyed this fun fact, start reading The Laundry Files by Charles Stross. Once you get to book 4 come back here and thank me. Tongue eating isopods from beyond the stars play a role there, and appear briefly later in one of his New Management books, although I don't have the page handy so I'm not sure which one.

Their nastier cousins make an appearance later in the Laundry Files, but I'll leave what they do a mystery.

If you like making fun of quiverfull ministries, programming, Eldritch horrors, British humor (humour?), spy thrillers, agitated engineers, vampires that don't exist, bloodthirsty elves, and a thinly veiled story about anthropomorphic climate change then this is the series for you.

I am currently reading The Apocalypse Codex, and immediately thought of that :) Great series so far

I gotta give that stuff a try again. Twice I've started Laundry Files and just couldn't get into it, despite loving the context.

After the first three he doesn't write them as pastiches of other authors and I think they get better.
