The only thing I can think of is what the world would be without bees.

And that isn't good.

It'd have to be... Birds and the... iguanas.

You're all quite small thinkers...worms are an integeral part of the nitrogen cycle, as well as a food source for many creatures, they also help with the dirt being fertilized, and many other things as well that I don't even know.

It was just a joke >.>

I can't tell if you're serious either though, the italics make me wonder if you're trying to emphesize that you aren't idiots or if you're stressing it in a sarcastic way...oh well.

what would happen if thre were no worms?

If there are no worms, the bird population will likely decrease. Therefore, that will cause a lot more dead bodies. When there are fewer decomposers (due to the decrease of worms), more and more dead bodies pile up. Because they pile up, it pollutes the environment with bacteria and germs. Because of all this, the result will cause a major shift in the food chain.

Worms would change everything, am I right?
I mean, worms do things far beyond our thinking.

You're the first person to deride Graham and I for lazy ways.

I would not be able to go fishing. Then, I would be sad. Then, that would make other people sad. However, that is just myself. On a larger scale, the ground would become less fertile and things would not grow as well. Then, many things would die because they would not have food or a place to live. Then other things that eat these smaller things would die because there is less food. So, things would have to adapt to a new way of living.

woops, sorry for double postin but i messed up on my last post.

If there were no worms, we'd have nothing to fry.

kasic is right. worms are a major part of the nitro cycle, but we also would have a major part of the food chain clipped off. and we all know that if one piece of the food chain falls off, the rest is sent reeling in a futile attempt of recovery.

face it: no worms...no us.

Well if there where no worms then I think it would mess up quite a few things. I mean it would probably start a chain reaction, first birds, then what eats birds, then what eats them, etc. Not to mention it would probably effect plants, the soil, who knows what.
Since they are a pretty major part of the food chain I do believe.

Then I'd have to find someone else to watch Friends with. Maybe centipedes?
