Mongolia Just Got Scarier

Whoa.

Mongolia used to be the place between Russia and China that Americas couldn’t point out on a map (even after the China/Russia clue). No one really ever just “travels” to Mongolia on purpose. It is that place that you find yourself in by complete accident because your plane had to make an emergency landing or you woke up in the middle of the night on a sleeper train, looked at your friend and said, “Dude…we’re in Mongolia.” Mongolia didn’t seem that inviting before this story. But now there’s a whole new reason to go.

Armed with explosives, two men are heading to Mongolia’s Gobi Desert to find the fabled acid-spitting and lighting-throwing Mongolian death worm. The worm apparently jumps out of the sand and kills people by spitting concentrated acid or shooting lightning from its rectum over long distances.

Fuck yeah! Wasn’t that the plot of Starship Troopers? I LOVED Starship Troopers! Everything about that previous paragraph says, “Dude.” Lightning out of its ass? Isn’t that what people thought William Wallace could do? William Wallace ruled!! Spits acid? Let’s go try and catch it!

See, we men get excited about shit like this. It’s believability is zero but we sure as shit hope it’s true! Explosives and death worms? That’s like shoe shopping for women.

Road trip!
