It's really real. I saw a dude once who had it and I said "You look like a firefighter" and he actually was one, and we became friends. So like... who was the prototypical person? Was there a first person who grew it?
Ok, this is a really dumb question, but before you start ranting-- there was a video going around where someone got a mantis to eat a wart off their hand. Besides people talking about how it was unhealthy for the person, there were other people wondering if this was unhealthy for the mantis and I have to know- would eating a wart cause any problems for a mantis? I would think not because it's *human* papilloma virus, but at the same time it's virus infected tissue. So as someone who doesn't know a lot about entomology but likes bugs, would the mantis have any negative side effects from eating a human wart?
