You would think someone would notice when they were handed a 9 foot worm.

Blech.
I doubt if it was 9 foot long when he ate it, though you never know. They're really skinny.

I didn't even know tape worms hung out in fish.

All mammals are capable of having a tapeworm, though I think 9 feet is a little bit of a stretch. Fortunately they are easily rid of.

The Guinea worm is another ball game though.

I tried to post a link, but I am to new! Plus this is NOT a great subject for a food thread!

I don't trust vagitarians. Something about it just seems off to me.

I heard you not only don't trust them, you don't like them.


It must mean you are a dicktator (and that 9 foot tapeworm is looking pretty good to you....)

Fish aren't mammals.

And the tapeworm grows inside of its host. It's a typical parasite. It's highly unlikely it was 9 feet when it was ingested. That's a bit silly to even contemplate.
