The Buried Questions
Here are the questions people actually ask Google about these things.
Can worms bite you?
No. They have no teeth. They can gum you aggressively, which is arguably worse psychologically.
Do worms have eyes?
No. They sense light and move away from it. Kind of like a vampire or a gamer.
What happens if you cut a worm in half?
You usually just have a dead worm. Sometimes the head survives. Don’t do it. It’s mean.
Do worms sleep?
They do not have eyelids, but they do go into a dormant state. They are probably dreaming of dirt.
Why do worms come out when it rains?
So they don’t drown in their tunnels. It is a survival instinct, not a pool party.
The Person To Blame
Umer | Chief Regret Officer
Umer is the founder of PunSpill and a certified disappointment to his high school guidance counselor. He spends his days writing puns that make people groan and his nights arguing with Gerald, his emotional support opossum (and Head of HR).
He created this website because his friends muted him in the group chat. If you hated this article, please direct your complaints to the opossum; he handles the shredding.
I'm Umer. He's Gerald. I write the bad jokes; he handles the complaints (by sleeping). We created PunSpill so you have something to send your friends to annoy them. Read the full confession here.
