Earthworms form herds and make "group decisions"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/...000/8604584.stm


Earthworms form herds and make "group decisions", scientists have discovered.


The earthworms use touch to communicate and influence each other's behaviour, according to research published in the journal Ethology.


By doing so the worms collectively decide to travel in the same direction as part of a single herd
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them."
