Did you know that RFKs story about the brainworms is prob a lie as he came up with that during his divorce. His divorce cause he coulnd't stop cheating and bragging to her about it which drove her to suicide. (and even the suicide is weird, as apparently she tried to free herself). And then he also had her grave dug up and moved to an unmarked spot. The guy is so fucking weird. (Allegedly)

Sounds EXACTLY like what two brain worms co-piloting a meat mech would use as their cover story....
