Despite the large variation in adult bodyplan phenotypes, a worm-shaped morphology is considered plesiomorphic for both Lophotrochozoa and Bilateria. Although almost all larval and adult lophotrochozoan worms have serially arranged ring muscles in their body wall, a comparison of their ontogeny reveals no less than six different developmental pathways that lead to this homogenous arrangement of ring muscles. However, in all taxa, with the exception of chaetodermomorph molluscs and the segmented annelids, ring muscle development starts with synchronous formation of certain pioneer myocytes, which is thus considered basal for Lophotrochozoa. Recent studies on spiralian neurogenesis revealed remnants of ancestral segmentation in echiurans and sipunculans, thus confirming molecular phylogenetic studies that propose a close relationship of these three taxa. Larval entoprocts exhibit a mosaic of larval and adult molluscan characters and, among other apomorphies, share with polyplacophoran Mollusca a complex larval apical organ and a tetraneurous nervous system, strongly suggesting a monophyletic assemblage of Entoprocta and Mollusca. The term Tetraneuralia is proposed herein for this lophotrochozoan clade. Overall, formation of the lophotrochozoan neuromuscular bodyplan appears as a highly dynamic process on both the ontogenetic and the evolutionary timescales, highlighting the importance of insights into these processes for reconstructing ancestral bodyplan features and phylogenetic relationships.

Huh? 

[Alex]

Waving from an ocean liner
beaded cheering indians upon them

rock rock roll
plymouth rock roll over

ribbon of concrete just see what you've done
done to the church of the american indian

once upon the sandwich isles
the social structure steamed upon hawaii

rock rock roll plymouth rock roll over

bicycle rider just see what you've done
done to the church of the american indian

wa halla loo lay
wa halla loo la
keeni waka poo la....

[Andrew G. Doe]

once upon the sandwich isles
the ocean liner steamed upon hawaii

the social structure steamed...

That's deep, even for Van Dyke. By way of a personal response to the title query, some of my best friends are worms.

Yeah, I know...I had a bit of a memory lapse when I was typing that post...a "brain fart", if you will.

Hey, hey, hey, I just found the original lyrics to another obscure Beach Boys song, "H.E.L.P. Is On the Way":

A few weeks ago there was a furor when the budget office “scored” two incomplete Senate health reform proposals — that is, estimated their costs and likely impacts over the next 10 years. One proposal came in more expensive than expected; the other didn’t cover enough people. Health reform, it seemed, was in trouble.

But last week the budget office scored the full proposed legislation from the Senate committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP). And the news — which got far less play in the media than the downbeat earlier analysis — was very, very good. Yes, we can reform health care....
