That is one sensual clam.

7/10/2012 11:36:29 AM

i find it hilarious that the first 3 posters in a clam thread are females posting in a clam thread

7/10/2012 11:39:50 AM

But...why....

7/10/2012 11:41:12 AM

I am going to try this next time I buy clams

7/10/2012 11:42:47 AM

Quality thread.

7/10/2012 11:46:24 AM

7/10/2012 11:50:50 AM

I bet if you sat one in tap water for a while it would want the salt more

7/10/2012 11:51:37 AM

Thread made me LOL

7/10/2012 11:52:11 AM

7/10/2012 11:56:38 AM

It's OK because it's YOUR clam

7/10/2012 11:56:40 AM

wtf

were its salt senses tingling?

7/10/2012 11:57:45 AM

that's neat and all, but they should have glued a pair of googly eyes to its shell first

i'm officially freaked out by clams

7/10/2012 1:08:44 PM

can someone explain clams to me? I don't know what kind of creature they are and if they have other creature features like other animals.

7/10/2012 1:11:43 PM

he's eating the salt with his dong

7/10/2012 1:14:11 PM

mollusks

7/10/2012 1:17:06 PM

7/10/2012 1:18:18 PM

I know they live in salt water, but I would have thought it would be like a slug and the salt would have hurt it. Weird.

7/10/2012 1:26:06 PM

quantity matters.

7/10/2012 1:30:36 PM

^^ clams live in both salt and freshwater. That is also a foot, not a tongue. It's trying to move itself not eat

"This YouTube video of a clam "eating" salt is making the rounds on the Internet today, but we here at Business Insider wanted to know more, so we asked some researchers to take a look and let us know what they think. Here's the video for your reference: Researcher Hans Ulrick Riisgård, a marine biologist at the Marine Biological Research Centre in Denmark, said this clam isn't actually eating: "The poor clam on the kitchen table sticks out its muscular foot in a vain attempt to dig itself into the sediment where it normally lives," he said. "The salt on the table just sticks to the wet foot but is not eaten by the clam which is a suspension-feeder." Essentially, the poor clam is just trying to survive! Brian Bayne, a marine researcher from the University of Sydney agreed that this clam is definitely not feeding. "These clams live buried in mud and they get there by digging-in with a large, mobile foot (which looks convincingly like a tongue), he said. "This clam, stranded on someone's floor, is trying to dig itself back home." Clams like this actually feed by filtering small plant particles from the water using their gills, which are located inside the shell."

Don't worry Mr.Marine Biologist. I'm sure the clam was steamed and eaten afterward.

seems a little fishy if you ask me

7/10/2012 5:56:47 PM

I think I'mma lay off eating clams for a while. Foot, tongue or dick, it looked like a mouth minus the rest of a persons body, moving it's tongue on it's own. That is some freaky shit
