No, but it looks like there is a worm just under the epidermis......just saying that is where the name came from.

Yes, I know that. But, many patients really think there are worms there.

I didn't know there was any intelligence in the senate.

Funny, when we were discussing weather, one of my primary flight students asked me what the difference is. I explained that "partly sunny" doesn't work very well at night.
