[edit] Misc

Read the article. Whoever wrote this is talking about a load of bollocks. It doesn't even make sense.

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".

Moved comment from main article:

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] Eyes of Worms

Do Worms have eyes, and if not how do they orientate themselves?

          -They do not have eyes, but I believe they have light receptors for orientation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.216.1.4 (talk) 21:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[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)

[edit] This page is all messed up.

Poorly formatted, broken sentences, needs a complete overhaul. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Weezelds (talk • contribs) 18:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] So different?

I've been wondering why some are unrelated to each other, how is this? The Winged Yoshi —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Winged Yoshi (talk • contribs) 20:35, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Worms (video game)

Worms redirects to this article. However, somebody who wants to read about worms will search for "worm", not "worms". And somebody who wants to read about Worms will search for "Worms", not "worm". Please consider. M3n747 (talk) 21:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


well...I would assume that the majority of people who type in "worms" into wikipedia aren't looking for info on the video game. "worm" and "worms" should stay directed to this page, imho. I don't mean that there shouldn't be a video game article at all, I'm just saying that this article should be the easiest to access. 66.245.116.173 (talk) 00:10, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


I must agree with the above statement. More people who are browsing Wikipedia are going to be searching for the organism, rather than the video game, so it makes sense to have both "worm" and "worms" redirect to this page. However, would it be acceptable to have Worms (Video Game) redirect to the video game article if it does not already? This way, easier access can be given to the game article, while still preserving access to this one. TwilightShade (talk) 17:18, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
