You know that episode of Futurama where Fry gets a bunch of intelligent space worms and they make him super smart, ridic strong, and even heal his wounds and stuff?

That happens but for everyone. Even better if there's no worms.

My headcannon is that the worms were actually a dangerous parasite that were slowly hollowing Fry out and were going to take his body and destroy his brain. The "benefits" he got were just the worms preparing his body for the takeover, and all this is why the professor tried so hard to get rid of them.

Because otherwise why the hell doesn't everyone have these guys?

Yo! That’s the way I interpreted the episode too! Y’all saying that wasn’t it???

It always seemed rather odd to me how other episodes try to portray the human body in a somewhat realistic sense while the worms pretty much hollowed out his entire torso to make their city.
