Giant Sea Worm Discovered

[Evil Eye]

Someone plays Mass Effect.

Ding ding.















Although, apparently the term and creature originally come from the Dune series. But I first heard it in Mass Effect, yes.

 

[~rh]

That's pretty ****in' disgusting looking. Eugh.

Man, the ocean is messed up. I would die of fright if I was in the water and saw that.

Back when I was in 4th grade, I was on some island off of Corpus Christi. It was blue crab mating season, but with the crystal clear water, I was able to watch out for them (besides, they're scared enough to scurry away upon hearing my tremors). So, I'm prancing around in the water, having a jolly ol' time when ONE crab escapes my sight by burrowing under the sand, and lo and behold I step on the little bugger. Its shell-spike goes all the way to my bone, right at that arch on the bottom of your foot (unless you're flat-footed), hitting the biggest nerve in the whole shebang. That, the gushing blood (I'm a hemophobic), the rich salt water, and the fact that I was stranded on an island for another two hours until the ferry could come sent be into shock.

It sucked. So, I don't even know what the hell I would do if I crossed paths with that worm. I stay away from going in the ocean without wading boots now (I also came across a patch of stingrays, which thankfully didn't get me - but I did step on one).

sorry spire, but that is too funny to not laugh

Alaskan Bull Worm.

Already discovered. :/

They can't be that hard to tame

At least now you can tell that story, and get a few good laughs. haha

[Amide]

That is just brilliant. I'm gonna email that to everybody I know.

It'd be evil, but there are so many amazing pranks I could pull off with that thing. =D

"Dont swim too far into the ocean, or Barry will get you. "

 

[Bowser King]

That thing looks amazing yet gross at the same time.

I wouldn't want to be near it but it looks cool in a picture.

[:mad:]

Absolutely adorable.

Spoiler

For a pigfaced worm.

Spoiler

I fooled you into highlighting this.

 

[Darkslash]

Barry is happy a big worm is named after him.

 

[Deleted member]

It's obviously an Alaskan Bull Worm! :O

Alaskan Bull Worm.

Already discovered. :/

I think it's the tongue.

 

[illinialex24]

Holy crap. It can permanently numb humans. Holy crap.

 

[MojoMan]

[GoldShadow]

I think it's the tongue.

Awesome avatar by the way.

Effing creepy to not know wtf is in your aquarium. The ocean is terrifying. I can just image that is was a tiny little worm whe they first assembled that tank, and it just slowly grew bigger and bigger =x Creeeepyyyy

 

[Spire]

Wow, that actually sounds like it would be the worst experience of your life D=

I would've gave up and died xD

sorry spire, but that is too funny to not laugh

I've only told it a million times. 4th grade was a long time ago

Honestly, I can't even remember which foot was punctured as there is no visible scar (strangely enough, because it was a good centimeter wide).

 

[illinialex24]

Yeah I'd be freaked so badly. Makes me wanna stay in Lake Michigan lol

 

[Hydra.]

I am scared of the ocean, And things like this are the reason why. 0.0

 

[~Peachy~]

It has pig nostrils!

Hmmmm...it looks sad...

 

[Geist]

Ugh, i had to hold back a gag.
That's pretty nasty.

 

[Sad Panda323]

Have they figured out how old that thing is yet? What if that's an adolescent and there are ADULT versions of it!?!? I'm never going into the ocean.

 

[DTP]

I'm going into the Ocean just to look for more. I wonder how big they can get, unless that happens to be the biggest......
