Barry the Sea Worm

Apr 13, 2009 23:41

I read this article a couple weeks ago, and all I can say is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGH.

Huge Sea Worm Captured in Britain.

Guys, I'm pasting the text under a cut, but you need to click that link. The picture they have there of "Barry" will scar you for life, I'm not joking.

For the wussies who don't want to see Barry in all his creepy-ass glory... )

article, scary, gross

There's just so many places to go with this... chaosvizier April 14 2009, 12:29:06 UTC
1. "Giant Worm Attacks Tang". Welcome to the dating scene of the new millennium.

2. Giant Sea Worm - bristled for your displeasure!

3. "I've got your giant sea worm RIGHT HERE."

4. Hookers Bait Worm; Get Eaten.

5. Actually, I think I saw Barry star in his own Japanese tentacle porn anime. This, of course, should surprise no one.

6. Ok, fair is fair, he is pretty creepy-looking. Especially with the two big hook-mandible thingies. Yowza!

My favorite is #4...I think that should have been the title of the article.

#2 scares me, and yes, those mandible things on his front are super-creepy.

Also, the glutton apparently devoured the fish hooks right along with the bait. Finally, staffers spotted the tropical worm, which bit through a 20-pound fishing line...no. Just, no. NO SIRREE, DO NOT WANT.

I need a horrified-looking icon.

*shudder*

Apparently, you and I have very different definitions of "cute." I think most things with only 2-4 legs are cute. Not knocking the multi-pods, you understand, but if I ever came face-to-face with that thing, I'd probably pee my pants.

(I almost typed "mants." I don't know what those are.)

I always used to want a pet lobster.
