There's a gothic gardening column this month on hunting wasps that mentions <i>Parasite Rex</i>, too.

I hope they invite you to meet the cast. If they contact you for a sequel, maybe you can interest them in our amazing parasites - and parasitologists - on Appledore Island.

I haven't seen the episode yet, but my guess is that the producers used your sound byte to set an eerie tone for that scene - with words like "parasite" and "evil" being emphasized. Also, the show is coming to be known for its unusual soundtrack choices...this may be a chance for you to earn some street cred with the indie crowd! Cheers! Dan Hi Carl,
