    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I was having fun moving the bar back n' forth until I noticed the 7 meter earthworm. Where in the fuck is there a 7 meter earthworm?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Gippsland_earthworm
    Though this specific worm usually only reaches 3m, the See Also section of the article mentions the 7 m (22 ft) worm in question.

    There's also mention of it on this page under Food: http://lawrencehallofscience.org/fos...arthworms.html

    A few more pages that mention it:
    http://taos-telecommunity.org/epow/E...POW-090420.htm
    http://surferjerry.com/creatures/gia...can-earthworm/

    Microchaetus rappi would be the genus + species I guess, or just a name, I don't really know, just wanted to throw in that extra bit of info. Sadly no wikipedia page, but useful for further googling.

    It seems the 7 m specimen was a bit of an anomaly but 20 ft seems to be about normal.


    Also, fuck the universe for being so goddam big. Enough is enough, guy. Gotta go making people feel small and insignificant, damn.

    I'm confused, I thought current estimations on the maximum size of the universe were capped at like 30 billion light years, wouldn't 90+ imply it's traveling outward at faster than the speed of light?


    edit: lol billion not million

    He'll get to it in a few hours or so. He's probably asleep.
