I've been called pretty weird many times in my life.

It's never bothered me since I know I am really not like most people in several facets of life.

One such situation comes up rather often because I am a gardener. The scenario, when digging, I always pity those little earthworms. I'm always digging into them in my soil and I don't care if he is just a worm. He's one of God's creatures and he has a right to be here just as much as me. So I've always wondered did I kill it?

I read something this morning which gives me some hope. It seems that when you do intentionally or accidentally chop a worm, it depends where you cut into it. If you cut off the tail it will regenerate itself. If you cut thru the digestive system, he will soon be dead. He can not survive. This is for most species of worms although not all.

So since I haven't figured out a foolproof way yet to know when I am going to run into a worm, at least now I know there is some hope for some of them.
