Why do so many worms crawl onto the sidewalk and stay there as the sun heats it . . .to the point the fry? What's with these idiotic worms?

Tue, May 10, 2005 - 7:52 AMI bet it is so hot that their little wet bodies sear to the hot seemeant like your steak does on the griddle.
They get stuck!
Wonder if you had a microphone down there you could hear them sizzle.

Thu, May 12, 2005 - 6:14 PMMaybe it's like frogs and boiling water (see allaboutfrogs.org/stories/boiled.html ). Maybe by the time that the worm realizes that the sidewalk is no longer pleasantly warm but *sizzling*, it's too late to do a damn thing about it. -

Sat, May 14, 2005 - 4:59 AMMadame, you have pulled off a rare DOUBLE RESONANT pun. While I still maintain you are one strange duck, I must give you your due.
(tho the editor in me suggests: "You maketh mee feel ALL worm inside." ) -

Thu, June 23, 2005 - 11:58 AMJon offers a fascinating possibility:
When it rains, all the worms get together and agree on several sacrificial worms, to appease the Rain God (as in "no more of this fuckin rain, beyotch!"), and order them up onto the sidewalk.
This apparrantly works, for the rain leaves, and the good ol' Sun God is back in control.
It works *so* well, in fact, that the worms have repeated this ritual long before history, or language.
