	Warhol Worms: The Potential for Very Fast Internet Plagues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Since the worm itself can be small (100k is a reasonable size), a probe to attempt an infection is smaller (5k or so), and the scan itself is miniscule (a few dozen bytes may be sufficient), the actual bandwidth requirements are surprisingly low.
		A fully coordinated worm, where the worms explicitly coordinate their attack on the network, is a theoretical possibility but has not been seen in practice due to the difficulty in coding and coordinating the worms.
		The worms, upon being scanned, give enough information to determine what scanning mechanism was used to infect itself, and what scanning mechanism it is using, so the other worms know how to respond and whether they should skip to a new location.

	BirdForum - A first in the garden - Slow worm
		The worm bit is easy to understand as "worm" had a more general meaning in the past and was also applied to snakes ie.
		one of them is that 'slow' comes from a word meaning 'to slay' and it refers either to them 'slaying' earthworms (as they do eat worms) or to a mistaken belief that they could 'slay' humans by stinging with the tail (anyone who's handled one will probably have felt them dig their tail in!)
		The most widely accepted one seems to be that 'slow' really does mean 'slow', and that 'slow worm' means 'slow snake', as although they're not that slow-moving, they are slow compared to the other native snakes.
