Journalist hunts for acid-spitting Mongolian death worm

Now listen, one of two things can happen here. Either you spend two weeks wandering a desert, searching for a mythical acid and lighting emitting 1.5m long worm, and then don't find it and make the documentary about why people believe in a weird non-extant creature that you could have made in New Zealand which does not have 1.5m long worms full stop. OR you find and are killed by said acid and lightning emitting 1.5m long worm and thus become one in a long chain of its victims to never be found again because it spits out acid and devours you.

Cryptozoology rarely ends well.

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

I almost hope they DO find a Mongolian Death Worm. Those things are so freaky I wish they really did exist.
