Surgeons removed an 8-centimetre, living roundworm from a 64-year-old patient's brain followed an abnormal MRI. Doctors believe the infection likely came from foraged greens contaminated with python poo. The most reliable sign that it’s about to get bad is a “closed” sign in a Waffle House window. That’s right—it’s the Waffle House Index. Waffle House’s own webpage about this phenomenon quotes FEMA administrator Craig Fugate: “If you get there and the Waffle House is closed? That’s really bad.”
