     N'és un exemple aquesta ameba que apareix a múltiples titulars amb el pel·liculer sobrenom de "menjacervells". El seu nom científic, Naegleria fowleri, és bastant menys sexi, des del punt de vista de la captura del clic ociós.

     An example of this is this amoeba that appears in multiple headlines with the cinematic nickname of "brain-eating". Its scientific name, Naegleria fowleri, is rather less sexy from the point of view of capturing idle clicks.
