Cam, you are too quick for me. That response caused me to choke on my drink. I bet the items he ordered are just about as valuable as the kidney stones you offer.

LOL! You, my friend, obviously don't know much about worms. So, here you go:

It very much depends on which of the 1500 species of earthworm it is, but the smallest is less than 1 mm and the largest, the Australian Giant Gippsland Earthworm, can be up to 11 feet. The longest worm on record was 13 feet long. Ew.

The common earthworm, the lumbricus terrestis, usually only gets to 9 or 10 inches.

So, you see, even the good ol earthworm can probably out-length most of us......now girth, that's another story....don't make fun of my worms or I'll sic my Australian Giant on you......

Well, I'd like to think I'm a fairly well-rounded and edu-macated individual....
I remember when I was a kid growing up on a golf course (my dad was an assistant greenskeeper ala Bill Murray in Caddyshack). I used to go dig up worms at the country club's horse stables so I could go fishin'. Man, a couple of shovels of that soft dirt/horse crap would bring up plenty of them critters for the day. And those things were huge. The biggest one I ever dug up tried to bite me when I reached for it! Or so I thought.....

How bout some pics? Hey, are you gonna try to extract the alien lifeforms from them? If so, here's the easiest way to do it:
Dunk the meteorite in boiling water for about 10 seconds, then dunk it in ice cold water for about 5 seconds, quickly dunk it again in boiling water for 3 seconds then back into the cold water for only a split second. Here's the critical part. Lay the meteorite in a medium-sized cake pan on the floor and quickly piss on it. This really gets the little bastards upset. They'll come swimmin' out of the rock like you wouldn't believe. Now all you gotta do is siphon them up (a small ear dropper works well) and check em out under a microscope at about 100X. Now, if you don't see squat, don't blame it on me! I got this lifeform extraction recipe from Carl Sagan shortly before his death. And that dude was saying some pretty weird stuff near the end.....Happy alien lifeform hunting!
