Another Urban myth perhaps

I actually feel rather sorry for that rat 🙁 🙁 🙁

Is it an MP?

And now we have rat eating plants!!!

Speaking of movies, I was more thinking of Dune, myself…

I was actually going to say something like that! Maybe we could learn new ways of generating electricity from them! 😀

Or from our rectums, as the case may be 😀 😀 😀 LMAO 😀

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were such things that spat acid but not lightning from the rectum – that said, wish I could do that 😀 😀 😀 LOL 😀

Tremors is all kinds of awesome!

An earthworm which can fire an electrical charge would be his worst nightmare,but it sounds a bit far-fetched to me.Still,we certainly don’t know everything there is to know

True, but we do know that air is an insulator and that the only time electricity can ever jump across a gap of more than a few millimetres is if there are several kilovolts of it and a very direct path to earth. Even electric eels only produce a few hundred volts.

I still can’t really see it! 😀

Mr. Bee can’t stand earthworms,so I’ll have to show him this thread. Every time we’ve been to Australia I’ve tried to persuade him to look for the giant earthworms of Gippsland,which can be up to ten feet long.An earthworm which can fire an electrical charge would be his worst nightmare,but it sounds a bit far-fetched to me.Still,we certainly don’t know everything there is to know and I wouldn’t care to meet any of these worms,or a Yeti or a Thunderbird.

Bumblebee. Snap.

I am wondering if these worms could solve our energy problems :D.

Seem to remember watching a horror film about similar giant worms.
Which were terrorising an american town.
now will spend all day trying to think of the title.

Tremors .

Love it. 😀

Must be a hell of a lot of electricity to get it to travel through air like that! I’m not entirely convinced!

Sounds like it lives on a diet of Chicken Tikka Phal, then. :diablo:

kills people by… shooting lightning from its rectum over long distances,

Its a win win situation with anything like this ain’t it. If they don’t find anything the legend or myth remains intact for generations to come. If they find something they would become hugely famous themselves and the next thing you know people are looking for Nessy or the Yetti.

I would not put much money on Mr or MRS Worm showing up myself but we do need these legends.

I have to be careful too sometimes.
