WARGH!
There’s a critter that lives in aquariums – its common name is the spaghetti worm, for obvious reasons. It bores into the rockwork with its butt and lets its long feeders hang in the current and collect food. I have a couple dozen of them (almost everyone does), and when I clean the tank I suck them out with the siphon.
Something I just learned about spaghetti worms… if you get one on your finger, it will try to bore into your finger. And this is a fairly painless process for at least a minute or so, because it was working a goodly way inwards and downwards when I finally discovered it.
Then there was screaming.
I’m going to go boil my hand again. Tah!

Reading this, the same day I found out about giant isopods, leads me to the simple conclusion that the ocean is trying to KILL us.
I agree completely, and since the cut/hole still hurts, I’m worried I’ll turn into a Were-spaghetti-worm and impose the ocean’s wrath upon the land.
(I’m not, but it still hurts).
Walk it off…
wimp :p
The ocean isn’t trying to kill you…. it’s trying to remind you who’s boss 😉
(FYI- The other name for Bristle Worms is Fire worms… Give you three guesses as to why.)
Oh holy god, how very terrifying. *shudders* I hope you don’t turn into a Wereworm and get better soon.
Yeah, at least I know the focus of tonights nightmare.
Shudders and thinks about puppies
