Won't Someone Please Think of the Worms?

[Types With Fingers]

Here's an article I found on Rupert Sheldrake's Facebook feed. It's about a worm that loses its head... and doesn't forget it.

o.O Riiiiight. Anyone ever tell you you're like an artichoke? It's like every now and then I peel away a fascinating new layer about you.

Oh, oh wait, can't make this a frivolous post, the world's not ready for Types With 3 Fingers: did you read the phys.org article?

No, I'll never join you. I'm a user, like my profile before me.

Okay, then ignore my advice I just gave over at that other thread. It was still good advice though.

Yeah, I read it like 5 years ago. Step it up, man.

That's what you get for decentralizing your argument by posting it on multiple threads. Besides, I don't want the job of ruling the forum. Have you seen it lately?

Also, I think the article is very relevant to our discussions here, considering how important the subject of memory is to consciousness, NDEs, etc. The study didn't say whether the worm had a minibrain where the memories went after decapitation, but I just ate breakfast and am not interested in studying worm physiology.

Okay, fine. Jeez. I'll figure it out. Thanks for the homework.

Boo boo seems finished with her meal, entirely, maybe she should look this up. After all, I was not aware there were worms which could grow back heads, I didn't know any creature could grow back a head!

Do worms have heads?

Whenever worms are mentioned, I get REALLY grossed out.

Ah, okay then, I'll keep that in consideration and try not to mention it anymore when you're around. Heavens, you must be fun at your high school parties, lol

So I guess I shouldn't mention the World Worm Charming Championships then?

In the oil fields, newcomers are known as worms.

TWF, why do you keep getting banned? I keep trying to follow you!

Aww, thank you! I didn't get banned this last time, though, I decided I didn't like my password, so I went through the reset process like I was supposed to, but I never received the email with the temporary password, no matter how many times I restarted the process (I checked my spam folder). Without knowing that password, I couldn't sign in, so I got locked out. Ironic, huh? Besides, Types With Fingers in the 3rd Millennium is a much cooler name.

Did you ever consider having just a single-word name, like maybe just "Types" - hmm, that sounds kinda ok, maybe just tweak the spelling a bit and I'd almost pick that myself.

And be accused of being your sock puppet? Not likely
