They really aren't that much different from humans, are they? Except that they can mate with themselves.

Well, for starters, I have no womb.

Oh, you don't need a womb for mating, only, usually, for conceiving.

I am so sick of hearing the "I have no womb" excuse!

Concentrate, boy!

You need a womb to mate?

That's my learned-something-new for the day...

Maybe Cav has watched too many Madeline Kahn movies.

'Ello right hand, me mate. Hmm...not bad, but not the same as a live person. Sheesh! To clarify, earthworms are hermaphrodites. Perhaps I should have used 'conceive' or 'reproduce'. Pfft.

I think we're coming down pretty hard on ol' Cav here.

He's a decent sort of guy. Let's back off.

You mean I don't get to burn fundamentalists? Well, okay, I'll make a sacrifice, erm, concession here then.

I'm sure Craven isn't quite so thrilled. Whenever I post one of these photos, I have an image of an exasperated Craven holding his head in his hands and muttering, "Why doesn't he stop?"

Earthworms don't have eyes.

I just learned that last night, while reading "James and the Giant Peach" to my son.

No wonder they keep frying themselves on the hot sidewalks around here.

thank you so much for this picture !!!

you're keeping me from having dinner tonight. great for my figure. thanks a lot. no olives, no ham, no bread, no cheese... no chocolate afterwards...

dead, dissected earthworms are a "must" for each fridge-door (correct phrase ? i mean the place, where one has magnets to attach those "i never want to look like this again"-photos...)

Who would have thought I'd find such an interesting piece in the Christian Science Monitor?

CAv,

Sounds like radioactive worms to me! Shocked Shades of the Grade B 50's horror movies. Maybe a new host of them in the making, you know, with the audio and visuals a 1/2 second out of synch. Loved that in the original japanese Godzilla flicks. Cool
