I'd link the blog post but the headline is an edited out curse word. Still this thing is crazy scaring looking.

EDIT: Found the news post.

Yeeah, you poke it and those little wormy thingies will get on your hand and proceed all over your body and then you are covered in nasty worms.


You will still poke it, wont you?

Haha, YUCK! Looks like something from doom. It might be a face hugger from alien of somefin.

They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting. Interesting video.

Meh, I got all excited to fight off an alien invasion for nothing

Quite interesting, but quite disturbing really. Seen the title and was expecting an enlarged rat or something of the sort, not something that looks like what my dinner did 20 mins ago.

worms or not if I saw that while inspecting a sewer i'd run away like a little girl.
