What about the role the non-native earthworm played in altering the soil biology of North America when it crossed the Atlantic? Not sure if contributing to the demise of Native American dominance in the new world gains you any points around here but if it does…

I know this site is ALLL about actual facts and stuff. I mean, this is where i get all my animal info oDDviously, but snakes have venom…not poison. 2 different things.

However, I do agree with the Grade of C-. Worms should really pick it up.

If you’re bait, that means someone wants you. Being bait, they’ve also spawned the huge artificial bait/fishing tackle industry.
Plus, who didn’t like that old Playstation game Earthworm Jim.
And, GUMMI WORMS.
I rescind my request for a B-, and now stand behind a B+.

They are bait! C- is an appropriate grade.

I bet they didn’t evolve into snakes because they didn’t want to drop the whole hermaphrodite thing. That’s what happens when you have single-issue voters (assuming their evolution was put up to referendum (incidentally, if ours is, I am voting to get rid of the appendix and replace it with advertising)).

I believe the earthworm should receive at least a B-. You fail to mention that despite failing to develop fangs, certain varieties of earthworms have received the nickname “nightcrawlers”. Which you have to admit is a cool nickname for not having fangs.
