If you wanted to get technical, 1 pound of worms in a certain density is likely to respond differently to 10 pounds of worms in a certain density. It would be easy to conclude that no two situations are alike unless you had the exact same circumstances. Note that I started off my story with a real life experience (Albeit not in a controlled scientific environment) about what happens when 200 pounds of worms are left in an extremely warm environment. Then, I did a small scale experiment to follow up. I don't think any of my experiments will be worthy of scientific journals. Just wormin around. ;) Hi Bob,

How much validity can we give to experiments when dealing with such small numbers of worms? I would think that large numbers of worms would make your numbers shew up and down?
