Yesterday, I spent two hours trying to post this INCREDIBLY CREEPY video of the throbbing, breathing, ectoplasmic blobs of terror that apparently live in the sewers beneath us. Every time I would post it, though, the video would be taken off-line by its original poster, which had me CONVINCED that it was a government conspiracy. The C.I.A. didn’t want me telling you the truth. Now, I’ve found a version that sticks. Watch it and decide for yourself. Do unknown life forms actually crawl around the tunnels beneath us? Is the human race doomed? Or is this REALLY just a snippet from my last colonoscopy? According to experts, the answer is: none of the above. “They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other.” Looking at the video again (and again… and again…) I sort of see that they COULD be many string-like worms clumped together in a ball. POSSIBLY. But I’m still freaked the fuck out.
