inchworm

mechanical

feh.

didn't even change the headline

This sentence, out of the entire article, was considered enough for the writer to dedicate the title of his story to it? Bad journalism...

"Hurter, the drag race designer, says he once contributed a giant exploding inchworm for a Survival Research performance that never took place."

Giant exploding earthworms not considered strange?

Giant exploding earthworms not considered at all.
Giant exploding earthworms not considered at all until I read that damn Fark headline.

Who the hell comes up with ideas like that?

Worm go boom.

I used to have a bumpersticker that said "webedaboom" (the sound a shell makes coming out of a mortar).

Oh, and I have to point out, inchworms and earthworms aren't the same thing. One's a worm and the other is an insect larva.

/pedant

I can't wait until tomorrow because I won't have to look at that freaky guy in his undershirt anymore.

the word larva has always given me the creeps.

Grabboids?

We need a litle clarity with the tag, please.

Is it strange that the worms are blowing up, or is it strange that it isn't considered strange that worms are blowing up?

The headline had to do with one sentence in the damn article. That's farking annoying.

Waaait... Are they strange, or is the fact that they're not considered strange strange? I need a drink.

You're speical.

I've got a worm Greg, can you explode me?

Hate_everything

for me it's pupae-that's like silence of the lambs freaky

That was totally gay.

Can someone please explain to me the difference between an earthworm and an inchworm?

It's not Earthworms, it's Farken INCHWORMS, you dingdongs.

Inchworm, a type of catepillar


Earthworm, a member of the Lumbricidae family...a true worm:

an inchworm is that thing between your legs


/stupid but necessary

Worst headline ever!

Which goes better with a white wine?

Mayhem_King inchworm. Earthworms are, like the name would suggest, very earthy and require a tart red wine to overcome the dirt in their digestive tract.

I still wouldn't recommend wine with inchworm though. Their flavor is too sharp for wine, I think you would be better off with a nice single-malt scotch.

lol.

Single-malt scotch and inchworms on Mayhem King all night long!

"Tonight on Fear Factor............."


/Got nothing, want nothing

To quote the article and make the obligatory cliche reference:
"...has been staging its own version of 'shock and awe' spectacles for more than two decades"
-- France surrenders

Worst. Post. Evar.

You know... These things aren't half bad if you let 'em soak in the scotch a few minutes before downing them.

WTF MAN!? I read half the article trying to find the part about exploding earthworms. What a waste of time. FUK.

This would be the perfect time to post a pic of Earthworm Jim. Now I go off to learn HTML so I can stop being a jerk.

And just in case the pic screws up again:
Earthworm Jim Exploding

Ah the hell with it. Just go here:

Has anyone ever seen an old earthworm? This question has been bugging me for a few weeks. How would you know it's old? How long is it's lifespan?

Worth noting is that Mark Pauline's Survival research Labs INVENTED the fire-breathing, battling machines and strangely gets no credit- not even from FARK (really) which headlines the story with an assinine, inaccurate, obscure reference. In the 80s, Pauline and his buds, stole parts from auto junkyards and staged these word-of-mouth events in the streets late at night in the industrial area of the city. What was welding shops and chrome platers is mostly yuppie/dot-com lofts now. This was all for nothing-no TV rights, no money, just a mention in the paper as a weird artist type. He's only got two blown off fingers to show for it
