It would be crazy if it turned out that some company took these hammerhead worms, dried them and made a powder out of them to make a favorite steak seasoning. Otherwise, the birds can eat all they want until they are gone.

Wicked!

A Salt Rifle!

[Does so]

I was going to mention that, like fire ants, they’ll show up in Florida. But I think we’ve already got them.

Florida’s planeria—at less than an inch long—sound much smaller, though. Perhaps I’d seen them in my aquarium?

[gundog]

Those are nasty lookin’ critters. Might be worth experimenting with a mix of salt and lime...maybe some diatomaceous earth.

Guess we’re back to using fire.

Texas is as big as most European countries.

There is only one European country larger than Texas: The Russian Federation.

“Poisonous”. Good grief.

Well, besides being venomous, they do also appear to be slightly poisonous.

In any event, I dare say that even Texans would be reluctant to declare that they are "good eatin'."

Or if you would get millions of them regenerating from one?

You would get literally millions.

But it would have to be a fluke.

“There is only one European country larger than Texas: The Russian Federation.”

I suppose you’re right. I’ll remember that

Anyway you’re making my point

[Cronos]

stanne Texas is as big as most European countries.

Wrong

Texas is BIGGER than all European countries bar Russia and Turkey (which are really Eurasian countries)

[stanne]

I know. I was lax in my phrasing. Now I am informed.

[stanne]

Ya. The reason for my question.

[Red Badger]

Everything’s BIGGER in Texas!...................

All my life. Still here And if you don’t know what is considered SouthEast Texas you must not live here so why would you care?
Apparently you also missed the mention of Hurricane Beryl which affected Southeast Texas. Texans know where SE Texas is

“Poisonous”. Good grief.

Yeah--my first thought as well.

They very well may be poisonous. But the word they should have used is venomous.
