The article, which appears in this month’s issue of Science, Vol 328, Issue 5986, describes a discovery made by scientists working at the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory in Singapore while observing the behavioral patterns of inch worms.
While seeking to determine whether or not the tiny creatures like to party, the team of researchers headed by Dr. Yuehui Cai, witnessed the worms frequently performing the popular breakdancing move the worm.
It seems as if the worms love to do the worm. While we are not all together certain if they are doing it as a form of courtship or to stake territorial claims, we have noted that they seem to do the worm constantly, said Cai, who was quoted in the article.
While the article does not expand on the potential significance of the discovery, it does point out that while it was once thought impossible, one can breakdance without the aid of parachute pants.
