Run for your lives--it's the Mongolian Death Worm!!!!
2009-08-08
ARMED with explosives, two men are heading to Mongolia's Gobi Desert to find the fabled acid-spitting and lightning-throwing Mongolian death worm.

The worm has never been documented but some Mongolians are convinced it exists. They call it Allghoi Khorkhoi, or "intestine worm" because it resembles a cow's intestine and is about 1.5m long. The worm apparently jumps out of the sand and kills people by spitting concentrated acid or shooting lightning from its rectum over long distances, NZPA reports.
Seriously.

#9  Noone asks me about these things.

Anyway, they taste lousy no matter how you prepare them.

#6  Speaking as your Ecological Advisor, I recommend introducing a population of chupacabras to keep this pest under control.

#4  It's not hard to see a Mongolian Death Worm.

Just drink a quart of sour mash whiskey a day for an entire year.

Then stop.

It's related to the Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka.

#1  Sounds potentially useful. Maybe instead of killing it they should try to make a deal.
