Journalist hunts for acid-spitting Mongolian death worm. ARMED with explosives, two men are heading to Mongolia's Gobi Desert to find the fabled acid-spitting and lightning-throwing Mongolian death worm.
The worm has never been documented but some Mongolians are convinced it exists. They call it Allghoi Khorkhoi, or "intestine worm" because it resembles a cow's intestine and is about 1.5m long. The worm apparently jumps out of the sand and kills people by spitting concentrated acid or shooting lightning from its rectum over long distances, NZPA reports. (Seriously.) New Zealand TV entertainment journalist David Farrier, who is organising the expedition, and cameraman Christie Douglas, leave this week to spend two weeks in the Gobi, trying to verify the worm's existence and making a documentary about it. Farrier said he had always been fascinated by cryptozoology, or the search for hidden creatures.
The expedition and documentary would take a serious look at the worm and what it was, Farrier told TV3. He only plans to capture the worm on film. Axehandle hound. An illustration of an axehandle hound.
The Axehandle Hound (sometimes spelled as axhandle hound, ax-handle hound, or similar), is an American fearsome critter of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Overall, it resembles a dog with a roughly axe-like shape. It has a head shaped like an axe blade, complemented by a handle-shaped body atop short stubby legs. It subsists on a diet consisting entirely on the handles of axes which have been left unattended.[1] A nocturnal[2] creature, the axehandle hound travels from camp to camp searching for its next meal.[3] In Minnesota, there is a canoe-access campground named Ax-Handle Hound after the folklore creature. It can be found on the Little Fork River near Voyageurs National Park and very near the town of Linden Grove.

As the world seems to be rushing onward to World War III, let us pause, for a moment, to consider what impact this Armageddon might have on cryptozoology in the Middle East. On July 13th, Jon Stewart of the Comedy Central’s “Daily Show” said he got up, had a nice egg and cheese sandwich, a cappuccino, turned on his television, and, as Annie Wu at TV Squad noted, realized World War III had begun. Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., told Tim Russert of NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, July 16, that the current Mideast crisis equals the beginning of World War III. Some people seem startled that these folks would be using the phrase, World War III. It should be no surprise really. Timing Perhaps I should have waited for an official war to be declared.
