And other stories from the stranger side of life
The third annual Falmouth Worm Charming Championships saw hundreds of worms enticed up to the surface, reported Cornwall Live. This year’s “utterly bonkers” competition saw participants charm 260 worms out of the ground - a significant increase on last year, which was held during a heatwave and only saw one worm reach the surface. Among the techniques used during the event include praying to the worm gods, writing a love letter to the worms, playing the didgeridoo, and blowing into vuvuzelas.
