I have no clue what this is… but my general assumption is… it’s just eeeh, kinda scary.

:eek:runs to bathroom to throw up :eek:
After a bit of googling, i found the following excerpt from Dr Timothy Wood:
“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.”
I find the video disgusting… and intriguing at the same time… i think i should put a warning in the thread title :hmmm:

That’s the thing, i found a few guys arguing that they can’t be tubicids, as the tubicids are only a few cm’s long.
But then, i don’t know how long or wide they are dimension wise.
And yes please, a warning would do. My own interiors are kinda winded up u know.
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
Maroushyyy you should have put the warning before! I just vomited after seeing this video:bummer:
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
Sorry Aishoo… i did too if it’s any consolation… 
CF: If they’re not tubicids…and most definitely not bryozoans…then what?? 
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
Oh so you also vomited? Interesting, this video is highly gross. It reminds me of hermophrodite worms we once saw live in the lab rubbing against each other to reproduce:mad:
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
Man! All those movies we saw of a blob coming out of the sewer and eating everyone is coming to pass!
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
^I agree.
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
I think they’re somebody’s top secret scientific project… genetic mutations of some sort… it went wrong, so they disposed of it in the sewer…
But in North Carolina??? Do they even have science labs there?
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
Why would they dispose it off in the sewer? Why not burn it or something and make it dead?
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
Do you not know? North Carolinan Sewage is ultra toxic.... like radioactive toxic..... he/she probably thought it would terminate the suckers.... but they live and breathe as we speak....
shudders
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
No I hardly know anything about America so North Carolinian Sewage tu door ki baat hai LOL. Yeh I saw them breathing:eek:
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
(I have very limited knowledge about North Carolina, i was just generalising 
)
Is it weird that i think they look like spaghetti and meatballs?? 
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
DO not compare those things to food and that also my fav italian!!

A Raleigh Public Works engineer told TheDenverChannel the video is easily explained.
“They’re a colony of tubifex worms,” said Senior Project Engineer Mark Senior. “We’ve seen them before in sewer systems.”
Senior said the video was shot “a couple of months ago” by a private contractor – Malphrus Construction – inspecting a private 6-inch sewer line that flushes into the city sewer system.
Since the video was posted on YouTube, and reposted around the world, his office has been fielding dozens of phone calls and e-mails.
The video is misleading, Senior said, because it was taken in a 6-inch sewer line.
“The objects are only about 1/2 inch across,” he said, “They look bigger in the video.”
The worms’ reaction to the camera is thought to be a result of heat from the camera light.
Tubifex worms are also called sludge worms, sewage worms, or lime snakes.
“(Tubifex worms) are normally found in the sediment of ponds and are sold as fish food in both live and dried forms,” said Ed Buchan, environmental coordinator for the City of Raleigh. “The worms are completely harmless. Because of frequent cleaning and maintenance efforts, the worms are rarely found in city sewer lines.”
It wasn’t clear how the video from the private contractor ended up on YouTube.
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
No offence to anybody,but I did not feel anything after watching this.
I do not know abt the authenticity of the video but what I feel is that those stuffs are bacteria/Germs affected 'things' .They looked like breathing because air was being released from those 'things' as part of any chemical/biological reaction and those weird objects have nothing to do with any `lifey' one.
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
^ Well you’re not human if your stomach did not contract at all…You’re a Bot 
Mirch bhai, thanks for the info… i actually thought they were huge human eating monsters… i’m unpertubed now that i know they’re iddy biddy 1/2 an inch…
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
hey i didnt find it gross.... it was little scary though :(
Re: ____ A new life form discovered ____
^North Carolina is not that far from New York, know what i’m sayin’…
