Attack of the Crab Monsters1957

Dr. Karl Weigand:
[reading McLane's journal aloud] "Friday, March 12: This afternoon Professor Carter found a large piece of flesh having the same composition as that of the common earthworm, but measured twenty-four inches by eight. With this section as a measure, the worm-like creature would be more than five feet in length. Most intriguing is the tissue's consistency: it proved impossible to cut - knives passing through the flesh leaving no mark. Fire was applied to the tissue and the corollary result..." The journal ends there.

Dale Drewer:
Well, it's getting very late. Why don't we work out tomorrow's schedule and then get some sleep?

Hank Chapman:
But what about that five-foot nightcrawler? Well, excuse me for being so stupid... me and that book you're reading.

Dale Drewer:
We weren't laughing at you, Hank. It's just that McLane didn't really mean to imply that the flesh was from a big worm. He said, "From a worm-like creature."

Martha Hunter:
You know it might have been a sea worm. They've been know to grow much longer than five feet.

Hank Chapman:
Well, excuse me for shooting my mouth off, but the journal didn't say anything about the sea - just talked about worms.
