New Species of Worms Found To Release "Bombs"

caffiend666 writes "A newly found deep ocean worm 'can cast off green glowing body parts, a move scientists think may be a defensive effort to confuse attackers. Researchers have dubbed the newly discovered critters "green bombers." ... The first of the new species has been given the scientific name Swima bombiviridis. ... [T]he worms are able to regenerate the body parts.' So, it's a naturally occurring animal that rips off its arms and throws them, and we're not talking about a game from ID Software?"

    Protip: In most parts of the world, nobody cares what you English-speakers think something sounds like.

    Really.

    I think I am a fairly good English speaker, for it being my third language. And I still don't see what you object to.
    So it is you rather than them, who has that specific mindset, isn't it? ;)
