I like this quote from it: "They would have looked like the worms from the film Dune. It is science fiction meeting science fact."
This reminds me more of Graboids than Sandworms... Didn't the chick from Tremors figure out that the Graboids were around since before the dinosaurs?
Still, pretty cool find.

In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly.
I wish I could have been with you that one last time.

There are larger worms living today in the deep ocean:
http://www.extremescience.com/deepcreat5.htmgiant tube-worms. In shallower waters these worms are common, growing to about the size of your hand. But down in the deep ocean these creatures thrive in this really hostile environment, growing to amazing lengths of up to eight feet long.
Only the books written by Frank Herbert are canon.

This might help to confirm your belief in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human race.
A young family moved into a house next door to a building plot.
Some time later, the builders turned up to start on the job.
The young family's 4-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers.
She hung around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch breaks, shared their sandwiches, and also gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. They even gave the child her very own hard hat and rigger gloves, which thrilled her immensely.
At the end of the first week, the smiling builders presented her with a pay envelope containing two pounds in 10p coins. The little girl took her 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money to the building society Saturday morning to open a savings account.
The cashier was tickled pink listening to the little girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she had a 'pay packet'.
'You must have worked very hard to earn all this', said the cashier.
The little girl proudly replied, 'Yes, I worked every day with Steve and Wayne and Mike.
We're building a big house.'
'My goodness gracious,' she said, 'And will you be working on the house again next week?'
The child thought for a moment.. Then she said seriously:
'I think so. Provided those wankers at Jewsons deliver the fucking bricks.'

I'm not sure how much of the following is true, but it all sounds possible............
Proud To Be Scottish
Being Scottish is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or aTurkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
And the most Scottish thing of all? Suspicion of all things foreign!
Only in Scotland can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in Scotland do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in Sotland do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.
Only in Scotland do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.
Only in Scotland do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
Only in Scotland do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
Only in Scotland are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.
NOT TO MENTION..
3 Scots die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
142 Scots were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.
58 Scots are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
31 Scots have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
19 Scots have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate.
Scottish Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after Xmas cracker-pulling accidents.
18 Scots had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Scots were admitted to A&E in the last two years after trying to open bottles of beer with their teeth.
5 Scots were injured last year in accidents involving out-of-control Scalextric cars.
and finally...
In 2000 eight Scots were admitted to hospital with fractured skulls incurred whilst throwing up into the toilet.
