- BitwiseMcgee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Am I the only one that read the headline and expected something from a Gibson novel?

Funny and accurate to the article. I'd give this 2 Diggs for merit if I could. - synch42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"...Lee took a break and gulped down a muffin."
Gotta love reporters
Very interesting read. Find it funny that one of the first thing he does is kill off what he was studying. Way to go genius. - elpayo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Science is neat.
- r3zonance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0When I read "when warmed a little they turned to goo", I picture loads of them gathered into a bucket and and thawing into a big puddle of brown liquid at the hands of kids.
Both amusing and disturbing. - Crossing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Haha @ them turning to goo when it turns warm outside. :p
- Rez_Ot4ku, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I found this article and was going to submit it, but it's already on Digg. It's an interesting read.
- megabozz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why does this make me think of Swamp Thing?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I saw these things on "Buggin' with Ruud" on Discovery HD.
- gregcotten, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0A funny line:
""IT SUCKS TO DIG," Eiriksson observed, panting. He was standing in the bottom of a seven-foot pit, shoveling snow while Lee took a break and gulped down a muffin."
I thought that was funny. - tsupersonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Haha, those things look swwet.
- TheRappingShoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@ Kitsune818 " "IT SUCKS TO DIG," Eiriksson observed, panting.

In that case; No Digg ;) - blugu64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@pugsby
yup - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There was an episode of Enterprise about a species called the "Aenar" that were telepathic versions of the Andorians that were totally white and lived in ice caves. There were schools of larger ice worms that burrowed through the ice, and you had to be telepathic to see them coming and if they crossed your path, you were basically dead. I didn't know they had a basis in reality - well, a little anyway.
- ForbesBingley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm digging this article, but only just!
There was far too much verbiage that made reading a real chore... - gnbenson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ice worms play a big part in Alastair Reynolds' story "Glacial".
Some spoilers here:
http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=glacial - JROCKinAK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I worked aboard a boat that took customers out to Portage Glacier and the US forest service passed the worms around in a tiny vile to show people. I even went on an expedition to capture these creatures, all you need is a really cold spoon. Our body temperature is so high that if we were to hold them they would just evaporate. They mainly feed upon green algae located in the glaciers and are the food source of a few select birds in Alaska.
- EmileVictor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting. I liked that article, thank-you.
- JediMasterBrown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the advancements that this could mean to our future in space exploration......we could do many amamzing things with this. let's just hope that NASA doesn't pull funding on this one.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ew...
- lunalil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0worms are not insects.
- Hohenheim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I went to portage glacier last year on a free day during a mission trip to ninilchik, we didn't see any ice worms, but we heard stories about them...and at one of the nature conservatories we watched a movie with a frew details about them. JROCKinAK...I probably rode on one of the boats you drove....Small world :D
- sixister, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This along with that shrimp-that-breaks-stuff is the second post about insects today.... am I missing something? Are they all made of silicon? Are they being processed into parts for a gaming console? You people realize that this is a tech news site.... right?
- DrEbola, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0The title implied that they were huge worms that terrorized the poles, living in icecaps, kind of like Tremors, but living in glaciers, not near Kevin Bacon. Hence, NO DIGG
