what is the point of this website.
it jumps from 1 thing to another.
you would think you would have the same subject but different pics.

and it just doesn't make sense

Sadly, as many have debated on electronic music websites across the world, many of the facts and descriptions of genres are hopelessly inaccurate. Some people even suggest it is written as a comedy piece.

This really is a great site, I'm actually surprised that it hasn't shown up on neatorama before as it's quite old. A very educational and entertaining resource for people whose taste in music leans towards the electronic. The abundant sound samples are probably the best feature (now I definitely know that I'll never go to a speedcore or swedish techno event). It even has a wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishkur%27s_guide

When I read this, I almost expected to see a stage called "facehugger" and another called "chestburster".

I remember hearing about this other specie that has a crazy reproduction cycle too. Something to do with rabbits, bugs, grass, rabbit's feces, etc. I can't remember the name of the specie for the life of me :-(.

That is indeed very bizarre!

@ hobbes3:
Many parasites have crazy reproductive cycles like this. I recently read "Parasite Rex" by Carl Zimmer where he describes many strange parasitic species and their big and often underestimated influence on many ecosystems - quite an interesting book!

Carl Zimmer is the "go-to" guy on parasites. He helped me with the Zombie Animals series at mental floss. Check out his blog The Loom at Discover Magazine.

The world is just awesome. I love reading fascinating stuff like this.

One again highlighting Nature's infinite capacity for ick.

I've often thought that if parasites were ordering the tree of life, they would know that OBVIOUSLY the species with the most stages was the most superior.
