Researchers have discovered a new, giant species species of shipworm that measures up to five feet long. The giant, slimy animal was discovered after it was tapped out of a tusk-like shell. The giant shipworm lives in shallow mud bays in the Philippines and relies on bacteria in its gills to make its food.

New item for a clam bake.

Try baiting a hook with that worm. Wonder what kind of fish we might catch?

[Tucker39]

Yeah. It could be cooked like sausage with green bell peppers and onions, and served on a sub sandwich bun. An ice cold brewski to go with it, and that’s livin’, man!

Seeing that it ‘eats’ hydrogen sulphide [FARTS], it will not taste very nice.......................

[Bob434]

just take beano before you eat it- you’ll be fine

[Bob434]

since it eats farts- we can harness them to eat cow farts and ‘save the planet’

[Governor Dinwiddie]

That Weiner guy truly looks peculiar. He looks like a cartoonist's caricature come to life. If I were at Walmart and saw someone that looked like him, I'd call the cops.

[Red Badger]

It’ll take more than Beano to make that palatable!.............

It’s a scientist’s dream, and the common man’s nightmare.
On the other hand, they don’t seem very aggressive, or even active. The worms just lay around , soak up minerals from their environment and keep growing, like goldfish.
Even snails are more energetic.

[Red Badger]

Okay, you can be the first to shove that thing up a cow’s behind............I’ll watch..............

[[The worms just lay around , soak up minerals from their environment and keep growing]]

Typical liberals in otherwords?

[Red Badger]

Kinda like welfare queens................

[Joe Bfstplk]

A true democrat.

[Bob434]

nah we’ll let bill nye the psuedo-science guy do it- since he’s so concerned abotu hte climate and all

[JaguarXKE]

Title says “Horrifying.” What was so horrifying about it? Just a big worm.

[Gamecock]

[Red Badger]

He’s a fraud......................

Chuckie Schumer? Oh, “Ship” with a “p”. My bad.
