Worm charming explained at last

[omganotherun]

Curious. I would not have guessed worms intelligent enough to recognize and avoid predators like that

[FannyKroon]

thats disgusting...

[intheshitter]

I read title as woman charming.

[YuneShik]

So that's why worms are everywhere when it rains?

[guyontheend]

i think that's their aversion to drowning

[ReitsukiMakoto]

@YuneShik No, that's because when it rains, the water seeps into the ground and starts to drown them, so they crawl to the surface.

[MalibuCornelius]

Nice fine worms

[Tolpeira]

The worm is sexy =P

[Kamrua]

Those worms + Blendtec blender = :D

[NutzCrusher]

that is gross! that woman is grosss! everyone's gross! I hate worms

[MarethOan]

Lovely...

Fleeing from the mole to end up to feed the fishes XD

[shegoof]

People with the talent of atracting animals, any kind, whattan awesome BREED they r

[bigbzon]

Redneck spaghetti.

[kamotepotatas]

yum yum

[vitruvian8807]

That is so cool!

- "So what do you do for a living?" "I charm worms"

- "eww!"

[Efingerboards]

science is gay and irrelivent

[Afroded]

What makes you say that? It's just people trying to explain how things could work.

[WE3dMan18]

0:51 hmmmm sphagetthi

[walkfam]

Grasshoppers make better bait in my opinion.

[walkfam]

If you see one that's not marked as spam, you can mark it as spam and the curse will be reversed. Or you can cross your fingers while reading it. I'm not that superstisious, but my friend uses the method and it works for him. Either because these comments aren't real or it actually works.

[snager80]

worms also run away form underground when there's about to be an earth quake. so if you steep out side and all is quite but there's worms laying around and climbing out of the soil, head for the hills, or something.

[ippymcbippy]

but will they crawl out fast enough

[snager80]

yeah, i guess. better to be on the surface than in the earth when it begins to shift.

[heragh]

hahahha maybe to elude to brake his "bones"!

[corbier111]

Brilliant!

[orfeakos]

what dou you do then with the worms????

[specialks1953]

thread them on a fishing hook and catch fish, they like them. not all fish like them but a lot of them like them.

[machinesforfun]

Most fish like most worms, a few like a few. There is only one fish that don't like worms.. well he likes one.. but can't find it.

[Amraself]

the mole is cute

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

I found that worms come out when I am discharging my high voltage transformer into the ground

[deathbro97]

lmao

[liger0yager]

Lol worm grunting is still fun. Down n dirty to get some bait the free way

[gabman6]

way to burst his bubble...

[demiurgeau]

Would the worms in areas of the world that don't have moles have the same behaviour?

[stayhidden]

Wow. Somebody get the tequila!

[Treblaine]

Ingenious! and worms can't evolve to ignore the vibrations or they would not survive when a mole comes along.

Mmm... are worms edible? Coz this would be great survival advice for someone lost and desperately hungry.

[ben710]

Yeah the worms themselves are edible, but the soil can have disease I think, I once ate one!

[ZeroM80]

interesting, gross but interesting.

[rotatingwah]

"worm charmer" sounds gay (or not)....funny choice though.

[rexmonday]

Wormsign the likes of which God himself has never seen!

[sniper152]

I usually use 2 steel rods (1/4") and hook them to a car battery. If I want a larger area, I plug them into 115vac for a few minutes then just pick them up.

[threelegduck]

amazing!!

[Qindje]

And they discovered this only recently???

I did these kind of things when I was in grade school and I already got the explanation that it was because I mimiced mole vibrations that it got up... srsly... sometimes I wonder what some researchers do research on...

[FA113]

it must be a slow science day xD

[10mintwo]

omigosh rly? did you also learn how to lie unconvincingly like a child then too?

[Treblaine]

They had to prove it by measuring the vibrations from a mole and comparing those to the iron rod trick.

Though not mentioned, this most likely included a control sample to make sure it was not some other factor that was bringing the worms to the surface.

Science is all about knowing for sure.

[CCPnoob]

it is an accent not a lisp idiot

[weylin6]

not sure if a sense of danger is consciousness or just a feature that came about as obviously those that didnt show such a reaction to danger just... died.

[devarsi]

at lest you consider it which is better then outright rejecting it. A body without life is a dead body and life means consciousness, not like humans but consciousness covered by a body. All bodies r made from chemicals and even so every body is made from a different chemical combination all creatures react the same when danger to their lifes is obvious. This means there is consciousness of some kind.

[weylin6]

Consciousness is kind of a tricky thing by definition... but somthing as simple as a worm seems to react more on impulses than forethought and awareness or anything.

How do you tell the difference between consciousness and just a simple reaction of chemicals or mechanical elements?

Is it just based on complexity?

[devarsi]

I understand that in all bodies is a living principle which animates the body, this living principle is called soul or spirit, it is not a material principle, but anti material.When this spark of energy is covered by any material body it becomes conditioned and can only function acc to that particular bodies capabilities. it is impossible for matter to act on its own.there has to be this living energy to animate the body otherwise all bodies are simply dead matter.

[weylin6]

That's not true, there are many MANY things going on at a small scale, all kinds of chemical reactions, pulses of energy ect ect... this "soul" thing is another thing thats difficult to define.

[devarsi]

without the spiritual principle, matter can not act.Science tries to proof that matter acts on its own, but they fail to do so. life is not a combination of chemical elements, life comes from life.Otherwise explain to me how there are millions of various body types, all build with different chemical combinations,but nevertheless all engaged in the same thing,eating sleeping,mating & defending e.g. Chemical reactions as u call them,are caused by conscious energy, matter is always dead on its own.

[weylin6]

i dont understand your idea of conscious energy... you gotta break things down to much simpler terms, and work your way up from there.

start with the most basic reaction at the smallest molecular level, all the different ones that happen, and how they effect eachother, how they are triggered... then go up to a higher level and you will see how everything starts to make since

its impossible to fathom it all in parralell though, gotta look at it one piece at a time

[MRburitz]

now I want to eat some spaghetti! MOM!

[CactosS]

lets go fishing!!

[o7jimmy]

Cool! :)

[devarsi]

and this proves that even worms like all other creatures have consciousness, even so its not as developed as in humans,however, fear of death and the ability to sense danger,is something that is experienced within consciousness.

[JakobLundgren]

Basic evolution, if you are able to sense danger you are more likely to survive and reproduce, and thus give your ability to the next generation.

[mindprism]

Ahh. Then the ice cubes that stick to the bottom of my glass when I tip it must also have consciousness too. They don't want to be eaten!

Your playing pretty fast and lose with the word 'consciousness' there. Plants behave in 'intelligent ways' but have no brain or nervous system, are they too 'conscious'.

An indicator that increases the likelihood of a fact is not, uh, proof.

[devarsi]

not very intelligent, can an ice cube reproduce? does it hide when you tip it out of fear? does it eat? thers a fast difference between an ice cube and a worm, one has got life and the other has not. When u see life then thers consciousness however limited it may be. All living creatures are conscious of something, if not, then why do they run out of fear or defend their offspring,cry when loosing their young? all conscious experiences, however limited

[benwil1785]

they arent conscious or aware of their own existance as is true of other insects. they act purely on the code of nature which is instinct. yes they are alive but if your not aware of ur own existance can u really call it a life? further more would u care if you were about to die if u wernt even aware u wer alive in the first place? ther not like humans. humans love to project human personality into inanimate object or other creatures, its called anthropomorphisation

[devarsi]

I am a student of vedic literature and it is explained there,that all living entities are a spark of spiritual energy within a body,Its that spirit that animates the body & without it,any body is a dead body.The spirit has full developed consciousness from the start but according to the type of body it inhabits,its consciousness can be extreeeeemly conditioned,we can c this even in humans.Instinct has at its basis conscious energy, for without it, nothing moves,it would be a dead body.

[benwil1785]

ah jeez, religion? please. i get angry when ppl talk about the soul and the spirit. so im not gonna get into a debate. look, i'll just say this... ther is no soul or spirit or anything like that. ur brain is made up of chemicals. why do u think the consciousness changes so easily? drink alcohol or take hallucinagenics and ull realise that thats all it is, a balance of chemicals. why do u think mental illness happens or why ppl are mentally retarded? because their brain chemicals are unbalanced.

[benwil1785]

people find it hard to believe that there cant be a soul or that god put ppl on this earth or watever. our brains cannot comprehend how long things have taken to develop to this point so they naturally believe its normal or that there is a purpose or a meaning behind everything. there isnt, it happens to exist by extrememly miniscule odds of impossibility, nothing is rly normal, its all pretty weird and when we die there is nothing more, its the same as before u wer born, eternal nothing

[devarsi]

if there was eternal nothing as you say then why should you be born? You would not exist, so you r something, otherwise you would not be here. That life is a creation of matter is a completely impropable theory, definitely an opinion because atheists can not see the amazing intelligence behind creation with their limited intelligence.The truth is that people can not comprehend God and so try to explain it all without God, the other side of the coin

[benwil1785]

actually thats not true, atheists fully understand the amazing and incomprehendable odds of even being here in the first place. the chances of any of this existing at all is almost impossible. it is pure time and chance. nothing more. theres may be a creator but judging by the nature of everything in the universe then i very much doubt it. things grow and die, mutate and change form. yes we are here but for one time only.

[benwil1785]

the fact that we are all so deformed and badly made suggests this so called creator is actually pretty lame. my wisdom teeth dont fit in the back of my teeth and i have to get them removed, same for millions of others. hundreds of species of plants, insects and animals go extinct everyday. life just finds a crack in the system and grows again. aetheists appreciate the here and now and dont concern themselves with trying to please some shoddy god

[benwil1785]

the fact that life only exists rly on planet earth apart from maybe some bacteria. we need the sun for life to grow. for more than half the planets lifetime its been just moss and bacteria, plants growing from the suns rays. its too hot or too cold on other planets to sustain life. that alone should be enough to prove to u that its just chance? a large rock just happened to float into the suns gravitational pull at the right moment and distance and now wer here having this pointless argument

[buttdread]

that's what i've been saying!! good post!

[greekwariorx]

EAT IT!

[justforwatchingcraps]

this girl's speech impediment is kinda cute

[writeincode]

its an accent not a speech impediment.

[Pinheadxxxx]

It's a LISP, not an "accent" or speech impediment..

[writeincode]

it is not a lisp. it is an accent. her s's sound different because they are slightly voiced but they still have the same placement in her mouth therefore not a lisp.

[metamorfoza1000]

way to boost her self esteem! :)

[kukelz]

i thought they mistaken teh sound of the rain instead of moles?

[HotWingDelft]

.....

[Arcane587]

I need to try this sometime. It certainly beats watering the ground and then having to roam around with a flashlight in hand to find them at night.

[bitingontinfoil]

Seagulls do the same thing after a rain - they stamp their feet & up comes dinner!

[creationator]

YUMMIE WORMS, honey dinner is ready

[morethansalt]

Awful narrator is back, wah!

[Maracachucho]

sexy voice must come back :D

[baf775]

so.. who didn't know this yet?

[pubtor]

yucks

[frankie6092]

Do really worms think? That's awesome

[muhddzar]

nah.. its reflex.. but like you said.. its awesome :)

[frankie6092]

Looks like pasta! Yummy!

[mockingarab]

nice! I will start a Worm Charming business

[gotriceandshrimp]

I'm gonna try that XD

[rotatingwah]

i think it'd be cool to have some hands like that mole....

[CoasterCloud]

Thse people look so comfortable holding the worms. I used to be, but that was when I was a kid.

[niswel]

see, there is no magic in nature, only wonderful truth!

[TheKev]

badd asss

[trotroy]

Spaghetti anyone?

[turxxx]

Some birds pat their feet on the ground to charm worms. The patting mimics rain.

[trime1851]

Amazing stuff - thank you!!

[chakkeramon]

Jeee....thanx.... :|...

00:30 someone likes spaghetti night...lol

[LuFFyStRuM]

cool

[Inconnubeing]

awesome. Never knew you could do that.

[BeondaPale]

Moles are so weird looking. Here's to the hope that moles never mutate into 7 feet long creatures that crawl under peoples homes lol

[jinkazama496]

interesting

[entres]

Now i'm actually a little bit smarter... I have just no idea when i possible could use a couple pounds of worms...

[PyroSlakkie666]

when you go fishing for moby dick :)

[stjo95]

worms

[UltimateJokersProduc]

LOL NICE!!!

[69slipkn0t69]

how does some one even think about putting a stick in the ground and rubbing it to get worms?..

[Dutchdrummer99]

"how does some one even think about putting a stick in the ground and rubbing it to get worms?.."

I learned it from my dad when i was about 6 ( just move the ground using a shovel by moving it back and forth in the ground) ; Used it Every time we went fishing.

[lonwitness]

Yea I did too. This stick method looks like it will give you too many worms.

[Dutchdrummer99]

Cool....the good old days!

[knighthood8]

spaghetti!!!!!

[lazymornings]

I eat worms.

[mateoarv]

yummy

[lazymornings]

protein......more than sperm!!

[Elitefrr]

lmao

[Sookden]

lol the sicko way

[kou87]

nice now i don't have to go buy my worms anymore haha

[chaodemon]

haha new technique but i hate worms!

[anthonym2121]

that's pretty neat

[RentTheSpokeMan]

didnt they do something like that in Godzilla a the beginning?

[KSS5]

This is awesome but disgusting at the same time...

[n14e5o15]

fAKE 1/5

[victorcelmare]

wow, ill get my lunch much more easyer now

[Phonomorph]

LOL :-D !

[FerociousBoo]

in or out?

[Paxmax]

Hahaaha that theory should also be tested on a continent that does not have moles. Would be cool to see if those traits are not present in the worms living there!

Hmm.. maybe it isn't possible... moles feeds on worms... no worms.. no moles, end of story?

[Tigerpoi51]

Radical Theory : Why Skinny Girls are HOT. Our bodies were created by evolution, the " Worm " .. being an early primitive begining. Having a Mouth and Anus. Evenutally Arms, Legs etc .. evolved making humans. SEX is a primal act .. SKINNY GIRLS tap into that primal sex urge because they invoke our innner worm ancestry.

[zomarz]

No that's not it. It's because skinny means healthy, and we want our kids to be healthy thus we choose the healthiest mate.

[SAsgarters]

Skinny means sickly. Historically, most depictions of fertility and health have not featured skinny people. Skinny is a culturally dependent beauty ideal, but it still is a sign that the individual is sickly and is unlikely to be a good mate.

[GetMeThere1]

zomarz and SAsgarters: you're both wrong (sort of). What we're looking for is not "healthy," we're looking for the "HEALTHIEST" among possible selections. If everyone were really skinny (poor food supply), we'd be interested in someone nice and fleshy. If everyone were OBESE (wrong kinds of food, or some weird disease process going on), we'd look for someone slim.

1st case: Woman is better able to find/utilize good food.

2nd case: Woman finds BETTER food, or is immune to disease process.

[intelligentfalling]

thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard. lol

[Tigerpoi51]

Next time you see an exotic dancer with a really flexible spine gyrating around .. notice how truned on you get. ... and .. the act of sex is centered on the mouth and anus ( genitials ). Sex drive originated in the begining primitive life forms. ..

Humans .. started as worms .. mouth-digestive track - anus. .. later we got out hands from Fins of a fish .. and Vocal cords from Gills.

[zqueenbean]

Sorry Tiger, it is back to biology class for you. Genitals are gender specific reproductive parts. The mouth and anus are part of the digestive tract. Two different systems.

[vanessawang702]

Wrong, the anus and mouth are not and never were part of the reproductive system, they belong to the digestive system.

The reproductive system mainly consists of the vagina and penis, then there are different parts which are used to produce babies.

So the mouth and anus is for food and drink not sex. People only use those two parts to get different sexual pleasures. Because a mouth and anus cannot preserve the human species for future time XD

I like worms, great for the environment :)

[Tigerpoi51]

All I know is I'm really into " Thinspo" girls .. and now I know why. Do worms have sexual desire and drive ? .. they must and that is why they mate and breed. This Logic then follows is the Origin and center of OUR primitive, ancient, primal sexual drive.

[KANCERII]

I thought worms were asexual...meaning they are hermaphrodites, they have both sex organs and they basically go fuck themselves.

[Retrovertigo26]

KANCERII,

Worms have sex with each other, but they simply have both male and female parts. The advantage of sexual reproduction is that a species can swap entire sets of genes that work in varying degrees instead of having to mutate them in order to adapt.

In "The Origin of Species", Darwin writes about hermaphroditic flowers that have specific times or instances when they use only their male or female systems, but not both at the same time. This helps to avoid genetic stagnation.

[Divine562]

You must be a virgin.

[drzendoom]

your mom's a virgin!

[Maracachucho]

wow he must be jesus xD

[thunderpants10]

MOLE!!!

[GetMeThere1]

Great!...Now...if you could come up with a pussy charming video, I'd be interested in that one, too.

[Blitzkrieger123]

haha that was cool :D
