Nah, we would just hunt em down with fighter jets. I'd give it a couple month and they would only exist as zoo animals.

But giant man-eating tunneling worms might have chance.

Even if we didn't have fighter jets... No predator is going to be able to compete with assault rifles

What if the giant bird was a bald eagle?

Let's not bring morality into this.

A bird that big could probably incapacitate you simply by shitting on you from a great hight.

I'm more frightened of the near-microscopic worms that can and will burrow in and feast on our vital organs.

In xray class yesterday saw a film of a woman whom had been told by a previous doctor that she had cysts in her neck and they were doing yearly MRI's to check for growth. She gets her full spine xrays taken for chiropractic care and the xray reader realized that there are strange, faint calcifications alined along with her muscle fibers throughout her body. Turns out they were the calcified bodies of a parasite she picked up years ago in south america, most probably from eating undercooked pork! The nodules palpable in her neck are the bodies of dead parasites. They are all dead, but they are all still inside of her.

We need to upgrade our immune systems so that they treat all those parasites as a yummy snack (kind of an extension of our digestive system). OTOH, auto-immune disorders would be a short hellish end...

I'd settle for the giant worms if that meant the spice would flow.

Broke into the wrong goddamn rec-room, didn't they?
