who just deleted the article!!!!!

Moved comment from main article:

Worm is also a retarded word for a dragon (also spelled "Wyrm").

Nordic is not its own language so Im not sure if the above information is correct.

Of the three main groups of European dragons -- Wyvern, Firedrake, and Wyrm -- the Wyrm is the more serpentine of the three. The "wyrm" was used equally to refer to dragon, serpent (snake), and earthworm. And in fact, the oldest form of dragon-like image was that of a giant serpent. (eg: A serpent-dragon guards the golden fleece cf Jason and the Argonauts. Also early serpent imagery found in creation myth. Aboriginal Rainbow serpent; Or the "Eternity serpent" -- a snake biting its own tail -- as symbol.) It was these more serpentine elements of Dragons that led to modern English "worm".

It is important also to mention biopsychic variations of this animal, such as Scalpworms, which are a dangerously underdiagnosed condition in adult humans.

I will leave this comment here for the moment, but it looks like someone's idea of a joke. WormRunner 00:10, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)

That would be a gummy worm stuck in one's hair... I hear nail polish will get it out. -Timvasquez 02:37, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

worms are good for composting

I removed the following line from the end of the article: "Some worms can eat humans and they can walk on their two legs and sometimes can be a dangerous threat because they will attack you and maybe kill you, too." It seemed like pretty obvious vandalism. 65.60.250.14 01:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)Brian

Removed this. "It was the worm that found out thet the human was intelegent and then we took all the worms intelegents. We are the smatrest creatures on the earth because af the worm. It eats mud and is now about 3feet long. It has pink scales and is eaten by the bird. If it were not for the worm we would not have computers because the worm invented them. The worm also invented Ipods and everything else we use. Now the worm has stopped serving us and there will be no further inventions from the worm and they will propbally take over the world so be prepaired!"

Need I say why?

[edit] Apple-eating worms

Are there any worms who eat apples, or are they all caterpillars mistaken for worms?--Crustaceanguy 00:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
