Dear Robbie

Dear Robbie,

I have noticed in my walkings across campus that when it rains a bizillion
little worms come out on the sidewalk and I was wondering if you know
where they are going?

Thanks,
Wormwatcher

Dear Wormwatcher,

First off, it is nice to meet a fellow fictional high-numbers fanatic like myself. I have a feeling that there are a gatrillion others like us out there. Anyway, the reason you are seeing a bizillion worms surface when it rains is because the wet ground is safe for them to travel about and meet other worm lovers. To an earthworm, the wet ground is a wild singles’ bar. It is kind of like how to a Christian, Starbucks is a wild singles’ bar**. So to answer your question: Where are they going? The worms are going to get their funky groove thing on.
