The HEEBEE JEEBEES

[layoutshooter]

A new "life form" was discovered in a North Carolina sewer. Looking at it will give you the "HEEBEE JEEBEES". It is disgusting to look at. It "pulsates". Looking at it kinda makes you look around for a young Steve McQueen.

Unknown Life Form Discovered In N.C. Sewer System | Paranormal

It's a colony of Tubifex Worms. They're also called "sludge worms" and "sewage worms." They live in mud, in the sediments of lakes, ponds, and sometimes sewers. They are sold in pet stores as both dry and live as fish food. The bed of fish ponds and commercial fisheries are often heavily seeded with tubifex worms, because fish love 'em and it makes the fish grow really fast.

The articles both said it was not worms. They have "arms" and are more closely related to octopus than worms. At least according to the articles I have read so far.

No matter what, they are really just butt ugly.
"A lot of people are still saying that the creatures in the Raliegh sewer system are tubifex worms but other people including some scientists are just not convinced. One biologist from North Carolina University named John Morrow said that he did not believe that what is being shown on the sewer cam is tubifex worms. He said that while the creatures shown on the sewer cam may appear to look like worms that he has enhanced some of the footage and he sees arms on the creatures in the video. He said he does not know of any worm living anywhere that has arms. He said if it has arms then it is some type of creature we do not know about."

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The date on the newspaper is August 1, 2013 but the date on the video is April 27, 2009, and the video has been on the Internet for at least that long (http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/2009/07/02/raleigh-sewer-monster-a-colony-of-worms.htm). There are dozens of related videos, posted in response to that video, that have been on the Internet for years.

The picture of the folded newspaper is a fake. The newspapers in Raleigh are
New Raleigh
The News and Observer
Que Pasa
Raleigh Telegram
Triangle Business Journal

The masthead of the newspaper in the picture does not match any of those newspapers. It could maybe might possibly be the Raleigh Telegram, however the logo that precedes the name of the newspaper is mysteriously missing on that day's edition. Funny that.

There are just so many other things about this story that make it an urban legend there's no point in going into them, but the biggest one is that there are no online stories from legitimate news organizations or universities (including NC State and Duke) discussing any of this.

It's ironic that a Web site called "Before It's News" breaks this earth shattering story four years after it hit the net. It must be a slow news day even in "Made-Up News World."

You know what that video really is? It's probably of someone's colonoscopy.

LOL! My wife said the same thing! It does kinda look like..................., well, you know!


Sometimes, it's just more fun to wonder. Sometimes, what if is just fun.

They are truly ugly dudes for sure.

Yes they are. We used them heavily in our pond, and I used to have a fish tank and I used them to feed to the fish.

When live for fish food in a tank, you keep them in a large cup or bowl of water in the fridge. When they're in cold water they last for weeks or months and you don't have to feed them. Then, once a day or every other day you drop a spoonful of them into the tank, and they separate into hundreds or thousands if tiny worms and the fish gobble them up.

However, if you drain the water, or dump them on a plate or in a bowl, they clump up into a single ball of goop. When they are a ball of goop, the goop ball reacts to touch, light and heat as if they were a single organism. Just like they are on that video reacting to both light and heat from the light. It's very bizarre, and very otherworldly looking, so the reactions to the video, and the way people believe the story, is understandable.

We had a similar "life form" at the state park I used to work at in PA. It was a water born colony. It was gelatin like, almost transparent. Kinda yellow.

It grew on the bottoms of boats, the docks, mooring balls etc. We had to clean them off of the mooring balls each fall, when we brought the balls in to stop ice damage.

One had to be VERY careful when removing it. It took a LOT of covering up, shoulder high rubber gloves. IF you touched it, it would sort of burn your skin, like a mild acid. This "colonies" could weigh several pounds and were often the size of the mooring ball itself.

These "colonies" did not pulsate like the "blob" in NC does. I think they may have been more like "jelly fish" than worms. I can't remember what they were called. It's been a while.
