Side note: "Wyrm", in old english (pronounced "Verm") means dragon. Not sure where the modern english for "worm" and "dragon" intersect, but I'd be interested to see if "vermiform" can be traced back that far, and if its original meaning was mythological.

An important announcement
Attn: Men of the world,
From this day onward, I will no longer be accepting unsolicited applications for the position of Having Sex With Me. All of my recent proposals have been from applicants lacking tact, respect, charm, bachelorhood, and/or basic hygiene. Future applications for Having Sex With Me must be filed through my agent, and must be accompanied by a reasonable resume and a list of excellent references. And wear a tie, for God's sake.
Sincerely,
Lucy
