Closest he can come to reattaching his head.

That's not the first impressive tail we've seen here recently.

[Mik]

No. The Aston Martin one comes to mind.

Kind of disgusting but at the same time, a bit interesting.

I wonder how long that worm stayed alive after being consumed whole.

After that decapitated snake head that bit its own tail, I'm wondering whether there is a bright line between alive and dead for lower creatures like worms or magats.

[jon-nyc]

There was in the case of Ashley Babbit.

@jon-nyc I liked how it kind of bobbed its head to find it. I guess it was using "smell" or the equivalent because I dont think it has eyes.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah. It’s remarkable that he caught it.

Also that worm was faster than I expected. It looks pretty much like the earthworms I would dig up as a kid to catch fish in the local pond.

Note to self: don’t get within 3 feet of a snapping turtle

[George K]

We had the occasional snapping turtle at the Cheddarshack. They're scary fast.

[Copper]

They live in the golf course ponds here. They will come out and walk around sometimes, just to let you know they are here.

When they are active, I stay away from the ponds.

[jon-nyc]

Love the title.
