<p>Joseph D&#8217;Lacy posted a link to some interesting video on his Facebook profile that is reportedly some kind of life form living in a sewer. The video is found below. When I watched it my amazement at life&#8217;s ability to thrive in the most unlikely of places (such as the deep ocean thermal vents), and my interests in <a href="http://www.history.com/content/monsterquest/cryptozoology">cryptozoology</a> (I am a fan of the History Channel&#8217;s program <em><a href="http://www.history.com/content/monsterquest">MonsterQuest</a></em>) came together and collided with my sense of the grotesque. I also had a flashback to <em><a href="http://xfiles.wearehere.net/xfiles.htm">The X Files</a></em> television program (&#8220;The Host,&#8221; Season 2) with one of its best episodes that featured a giant tapeworm creature called Flukeman, a genetic mutation spawned by contact with nuclear waste that lived in the sewers. There&#8217;s another horror story and creature for the big screen or television in here somewhere.</p>
