Ok, so some sewer cams (who knew they even had those things) are recording these fleshy, slimey blobs in Raleigh, NC's sewers. They appear to be almost breathing in & out, and constrict tightly at times.
What in the world ARE these things? I mean are they gonna grow into huge fleshy blobs, crawl out of the sewers and take over the world?
What do you think?
You can also read the story here.
that looks so gross. In the article, it's a "clumps of annelid worms."
oh...worms you say...oh my...perhaps i let my imagination run away with me a little there... *giggles*
then again...ewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
i'm going to copy and paste exactly what i just wrote CK in an IM just now, regarding this thread:
omg ewwwwwwwwwwwww
remember how the aliens came up from the ground in War of the Worlds and started shooting lasers that disintegrated ppl? then they captured the really unlucky ones and drained their blood...oh dear lord...
Yum-O!
Oh, I saw this yesterday. So fascinating, but so gross.
Supposedly they're clumps of annelid worms clumped together due to the absence of soil and when one moves it causes the whole unit to move.
Pretty sick, I'd like to rip those apart.
I love hope something eats you
Wow, that's disgusting! From now on, I'm not coming onto the forum until an hour or so after eating.
OMG ewwwwww there goes my lunch
My heart sunk when I saw NC so I had to go look and whewwwww its in Raleigh, North Carolina...far away from my Vacation house.
OK seriously is that blob of living moving thing? I went and made google my friend and looked them up (pic and all)
Annelid is any segmented worm of the Phylum Annelida. Annelids include earthworms, leeches, and marine worms such as lugworms. They have a distinct head and soft body, which is divided into a number of similar segments shut off from one another internally by membranous partitions, but there are no jointed appendages. They have red, rarely yellow or green, blood circulating in a double system of contractile vessels, a double ganglionated nervous cord, and respire by external branchiae, internal vesicles, or by the skin. Their organs of motion consist of bristles or setar, which are usually attached to the lateral surfaces of each segment, the bristles being borne on 'foot processes' or parapodia. The number of body segments varies. As many as 400 may be found in some sea-worms. A complete digestive system is developed, consisting of a mouth - armed with horny jaws and a protrusible proboscis - gizzard, stomach, and intestine.
When ya look at just the stillshot, it looks downright pornographic.
