Worms on a hook don't suffer, Norway experts find

Aren't the worms drowning while in the water?

I mean isn't that why you always see earthworms above ground after a heavy rain?

So let's drown them...as long as they aren't hurting bleeding on the hook...or wearing panties on their heads (which end is the head?)

. . . and may I add that Renfield was ably played by singer-songerwriter Tom Waits.

The worm is allergic to METAL........

[plain talk]

Reminds me of a scifi novel "I have no mouth and I must scream"

[Red Badger]

...bet worms have more brains than the species democratus, sir; have you ever been to the democraticunderground?

Why do you think it's called DemocratUNDERGROUND?.......

[truth_seeker]

"...have you ever been to the democraticunderground?"

I visit from time to time. Not registered, don't post.

I recall one of the successful factors for war is "know your enemy."

People at DU are only part of the overall dem voter base. So to assume all dems are as extreme as DU is incorrect.

"There's no doubt in my mind that they feel pain."

And yet you keep doing it. You unfeeling monster! </humor>

They vote Democrat in St. Louis, Seattle, Cleveland, Chicago, ...

I think when the DUmmie "Skinner" started that site in late 2000, sir, he wished to associate it, vaguely, with the old Soviet samizdat, the dissidents--as if there were no political liberty in America, and hence the Democrats had to go "underground."

Unfortunately for "Skinner" and the DUmmies, however, the site rather than exemplifying the nobility of honest dissent, took on all the accoutrements of a sewer, a cesspool, some sort of gross rancidity that needs buried.

DUmmies do not have a clue; they cannot understand that only in America--only right here in this country--would they even be allowed to exist.....and those very things they disparage (capitalism, the free market, the armed forces) are the only things that keep them alive.

Stupid DUmmies.

[Red Badger]

Earthworms take garbage and turn it into fertilizer, DUmmies do exactly the opposite.....

>They might sense something, but it is not painful and does >not compromise their well-being."

Being eaten by a fish on the other hand...

So if and when they found that lettuce screams, would they outlaw vegetables. Morons with too much time on their hands. Boy, for people who are into the 'natural order' of things they sure don't support the food chain.

Tell that to the crabs thrown in boiling water! They seemed pretty agitated until they succumbed. Good eating though.

[P.O.E.]

What bothers me is the muffled screams coming from my broccoli as I smother it in cheese sauce.

[Nataku X]

Thanks for the ping Franksolich! I've been meaning to ask you to add me to the ping list but you're ahead of my mind. LOL

[JLO]

Well, at least you knew enough to throw them in BOILING water!!

My first time catching and cooking them while living near Seattle, I was young and dumb.

Dang, they sure tried to crawl out that kettle once the water started getting warm. Had to keep pressure on the lid to keep them inside.

How embarrassingly funny that is to me now. LOL. Sure glad to know, after all these years of "guilt," they didn't feel any pain.
