Creepy 'Smiling' Worm Pulled from Bottom of the Sea

Russian fisherman Roman Fedortsov has a habit of pulling ghoulish and bizarre creatures from the deep sea. And his recent trawl did not disappoint: Fedortsov recently captured an eerily "smiling" sea worm.
In a video Fedortsov posted on Twitter last week, the creature's clown-smile turns creepy as it seemingly morphs inside out in time with an uncanny, high-pitched noise added by the fisherman. (This is not a noise the creature is making.)
"If the creature could scream, it would scream like this," Fedortsov wrote in the post. ..."
Bristle worms are so named because they have small bristles called chaetae all around their bodies, which help them swiftly move around, burrow, tube, crawl and swim, according to the National History Museum of Los Angeles County.
What appears to be the worm's "head" is, in fact, a retractable pharynx that, along with its jaws, extends to grab food, according to a previous Live Science report. When this pharynx is tucked into the worm's body, its face looks smiley, at least in the recent video.

Geez, I can’t even remember that moron’s name.
All I can remember is thinking “who???” when Clinton pulled his name out of a hat.

The second photo creeps me out, no matter how many times I see it.

He looks like a pedophile who’s just spotted a 12 year old boy walking by.

It’s sort of a combinaton of Jack Nicholson through the door in The Shining, and the Gremlin on the wing in the early Twilight Zone episode with William Shatner.

you may have given the Dems a great idea. Pedopalooza 2020, Joe Biden and Tim Kaine together at last. Lock up your sons and daughters (unless they are of legal age to vote for them)
