Agreed Ragnarok, that thing is huge and very creepy. Though it was nice of the staff, by giving Barry a home instead of killing it.

When the article talked of the worm digesting the hooks, it reminded me of the Mako Shark.

This creature, which can reach speeds of 60mph, and leap out of the water about 20 feet, has been known to swallow all sorts of objects, from old-fashioned diver's helmets to chains to ship wreckage. On smaller boats, it has been known to try to tip the boat over by ramming it with its snout. Personally, I find it more frightening than Jaws.

(there are multiple articles on this all over the web, though most of the components are to be found seperately. I just remember some of these details because I have done several reports on the Mako Shark, aka "El Bonito" throughout the years)

Here are a couple of links, although some of the information is contradictory:

For some reason when I click the PDF thing it only shows the same couple sentences from the first paragraph.

Something better a global epidemic is enviable. The new strain of the Influenza virus or Swine Flu has reached is way to New York City and across parts of California.

This is the full story of it so far.

I don't know about you but this is scary.
