I would love to see a mash-up story called “Lowly Shai-Hulud”: awesome and terrifying in his friendliness.

Hurray! Mongolian Death Worms. I knew a guy who had a patch making machine. I wanted to make a patch for a “Mongolian Death Worm Expedition 2010”, but he moved away before I finished the design.

There’s only one worm that begins as a trout and ends as a God-Emperor. Just sayin’.

The nematode worm C elegans surely deserves more representation in fiction. It’s been the subject of at least five Nobel Prizes, and over 30,000 research papers on every imaginable topic from gene editing to sex to the origins of consciousness.

  • Of course there’s a way to indent.

    • it involves hyphens
    • and indents using
      • spaces
        • two per level
      • instead of tabs

Lowly worm was great. He wore a boot.

(I re-read this and “Lowly Worm” seems like some sort of weird sub thing. It’s not. No kink-shaming here.)

It is so bizarre that y’all posted this today, just two days ago I ended up needing that very list when my kid needed to know if the “Alaskan Bullworm” from Spongebob was based on a real animal or not.
