Just so everyone knows, there’s also a Canadian researcher who investigated the same phenomena… his paper came out almost the same day as Catania’s…

My mom once demonstrated a “worm shocker” her hubby made. It was a thin copper rod that had a standard electrical wire attached to it with black electrical tape. (The wire had been cut from an old lamp and only half of it was attached to the rod. The other half was taped up to itself.)

She pushed the rod a few inches into the ground, plugged the cord in and within a few seconds, the ground around it began to shivver. Suddenly earthworms were popping up everywhere!

It was truly awesome.

Guess they read “Dune”. (The sandworms were called by a “thumper” which vibrated the ground.)

That picture scares me.

What a cool trickery of worms, though, and What a guy. I’d definitely buy his worms.
