That's what the headline says ... on the current issue of the Weekly World News. Of course I didn't buy it and read the article -- the headline scared me too much (to say nothing of the illustration on the cover). :eek:

What's the best khukuri for giant earthworm defense? Any reports from the combat zone, Bill?

I heard that all you have to do is show them a meathook or a landing gaff and they are scared of being bait and dig like Hell.:)
 
You can put those enormous worms to good use as enormous bait. All you need are enormous fishing rods, along with enormous fishponds stocked with enormous fish. Oh, and an enormous boat would be nice too. Think about roasting those fish over an enormous campfire.
 
Tremors, the series, hasn't started yet has it? I don't want to miss it.

How many Super Moderators are there?

We have four super moderators here now. Since one of us recently changed his title to "Super Bastid Mod" I am considering changing my title to "Super Duper Whooper Moderator" in a spirit of friendly competition. Thought I'd try it out in my sig first....

I like GYMBOOEE's idea.

The thing that worries me is where are the vitals of an earthworm? When I was a small boy I was attacked by a common garden-variety worm. I chopped it in half with my trusty shovel (not having a khukuri to hand) but then there were two worms attacking me! :eek: Of course they were both half-size, and after only a few more engagements with my trusty shovel the attacking worms got too small to be scary, but if the worm is enormous to start with that could be a lengthy and exhausting struggle.

A Kagas Katne would be the khukuri that would encumber me the least as I fled the immediate area.
 
UBE...no...Tarwar...er, Katana,...ummm

Maybe I should dust off that Naginata model that is somewhere around here. :rolleyes:
 
Actually, giant earthworms are notoriously sensitive about their appearance, so if you make wry and cutting remarks about them, they feel insecure and will retreat to the earth and sulk.

Unless, of course, you are on Dune.
 
How does someone in France get the name Cougar? There aren't cougars in France, are there? How come my name isn't Cougar? Or maybe, 'Buck Thorn'...
Life really is unfair.

Cougar could just as well be from Saudi and called Bruise Lee, if you get my drift.;)
 
Now, I have to take out the series. Frank Herbert created a world that was phenomenal to me. (He got a little weird at the end, but the first three books were amazing.)

Sadly, Dino Delaurentis got the film rights, and proceded to make his customary sucky movie from them. Just think if Speilberg and Lucas had gotten them!!!

Two things... the water discipline and stil-suits, and the Fear mantra stand out as the striking examples of basic aspects of existence and behaviors.
