Carnivorous Worms Catch Bugs by Mimicking the Night Sky
The glow worm colonies of New Zealand's Waitomo Caves imitate stars to confuse flying insects, then trap them in sticky snares and eat them alive.

I wish I was a glow worm,
A glow worm's never glum.
"cos how can you be grumpy
When the sun shines out your bum!

I'm glad I'm not a Glow-Worm
that would make me glum
cos when my pilot light went out
There'd be gas coming out my bum (if the failsafe failed)

#7 Today the sun is shining and the rain has gone away
In olden days we'd say we're gay, but it's not the thing to say today
Unless you're homosexual, which of course is fine and dandy
I'd just like to say I'm not one, even when I'm rather randy.

JJ being randy
Can come in quite handy
If you're the lucky one
It could be hours of fun
Imagination taking over
Day and night in a field of clover
But a poet I will be never
Please someone else continue to be clever

Two more notifications / complaints about the new player:
Everybody here is used to the players time counting up, not down.
So this causes confusing moments like people meaning to point to 03:23, but seeing -0:34 and using that like i think #2 did on this video.
And: the old player would go full screen on double click, this one just pauses and resumes the video!
I do like the bootstrap style additions to the site though, so good job who ever was in charge.
