A worm wrote a message to a woman in Conway, Arkansas. It wasn't a long message, but it's still impressive that an insect, and still a larval one at that, could write at all. Or maybe we just shouldn't be reading meaning in every weird design that appears on food.

That was obviously a coincidence, but anyway, most animals ARE smarter than we give them credit.

And today I baked a loaf of bread that looks like Jesus. What else is new?

Well, yeasts are known to be devoutly religious.

Oh no. Its begun. The insects are massing. Get ready for war people. We've become to powerful for the insects liking..:D

Somebody once sold a piece of burnt toast with Albus Dumbledore's face on it on eBay for $6000. Not sure what Jesus will get though.:D

Actually, if you look at the photo... that H looks like a K and the last set of marks an S. so could the worm be trying to write "Kiss My @$$?"

Then why did you quote me?

I don't know. I hadn't even noticed that...let me fix it now.

True. Some spiders are really smart (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1640513/posts) (New Scientist article - Portia labiata: the spider so smart it puts mammals to shame).

I'd say the worm got lucky.

Why hasn't anyone considered the posibility that it is a fake?

Because it's a lot more fun this way, maybe you're jealous that the worms won't write to you. LOL

"Woman gets hi on apple"

Oh no. Its begun. The insects are massing. Get ready for war people. We've become to powerful for the insects liking..:D

Too powerful? Insects will always be able to beat us.

Thanks, Aekus. That was an interesting article to read.

And DC, your article is funny!

Umm...I'd bet that women did that herself to get on the news...

Its not that good really...:(

"The worms in Phyllis Smith's garden are trying to tell her something." - Yep, they're telling her, through the voices in her head, to keep the fuck off their tomatoes. Next thing you know, she'll have murdered her husband and blamed it on the worms. "But officer, the worms MADE me do it!".

did the message say "SOME PIG"?

The message said "S" LOL

Not going to say anything about the article.

But, bugs are clever, i've kind of got a deal with the spiders in my house, stay out of my room and they don't die. It's worked for the last 4 years, they appear sometimes in other rooms where i don't mind, but where i sleep i don't want them and they seem to repect that and i haven't had any in my room for ages.

Umm, it's possible that the scent of all the dead spiders in your room has kept them all out the past few years.

Or maybe they are secretly planning to kill you and want to lull you into a false sense of security. :(
But I agree, I don't like spiders in my room either.

The video show's a cockroach strapped into a robot, controlling it. Nevermind that smiley in that robot - the insect is just mimicking them smilies trying to roast it.

The thing is, i haven't had to kill any since they haven't been in my room, the last time i saw one was when i made the threat and never since then.

I'm more worried about the fact that she's taking an intelligent worm personnally.

I still say the worm was trying to spell "Kiss My Ass"...

look at the pic. the h looks like a misformed K and the last set of gooves looks like an attempt for an S.
