Nobody likes me everybody hates me I think I’ll go and eat some worms.

My mum used to mockingly say this little saying to me when I was being a little annoying brat. I imagine she would have been very upset if I actually did eat some worms but I think, mortified if I ate one of these suckers.

I first heard about these amazing animals on a BBC or Channel 4 documentary that I watched and was fascinated. I couldn’t understand why I had never even heard of such a thing. Surely it is a school duty to teach children about the wonders of this world.


Obviously the creator of Tremors has heard of them and maybe…….

    Yikes, huge is right. I had no idea there was a worm that large. Well, I guess almost everything critter wise is huge in Australia. You could fish with that baby all week long. Thanks for the information and have a great day. :)

    @sandee, There are big worms (about 1m) in North America too. The big ones don’t bother me, it;s the little ones that can invade your body that really worry me!

    @Bush, Yep Monday is for animals. It’s fun because I get to learn stuff about something I like that isn’t tech or web based. Unless of course I do a post about the cybonetic, web surfing medium mice of Japan :) .

    Thanks for stopping by.
