Chernobyl worms

THE Chernobyl nuclear disaster has radically changed the lives of worms in the region, which now enjoy more sex, Ukrainian scientists have said.
All I can say is, 'Chernobyl worms' would make a good name for a rock band.

I had this fleeting image of a CNN reporter holding a microphone up to a worm asking them about their sex life...

Bit of a stretch to use the word "enjoy", when the reality is more likely that he mortality rate is so high the little buggers are <insert censored word for worm intercourse here> their brains out so they can survive at all...

The cool thing about worms is that you can cut them in half and pretend that you are with twins!

Any spewing over the keyboard from that, or am I losing my touch?

Worms are having sex and I can't even get any. It's not fair!

For only 19.95 plus S+H, you can! Just watch for my new sex radiation breakthrough, as seen on TV. Check or money order, no C.O.D.s please.

You can get some. Worms are really easy to pick up if you get them drunk.
