LONDON -- At 40cm (15.7in) long and the accursed share, vols. 2 and 3: the history of eroticism and sovereigntyweighing approximately 26g, an earthworm named Dave has entered UK record books as the largest ever found in Britain.
The record previously belonged to a Scottish worm discovered in 2015 on the island of Rum that grew to 39.6cm (15.6 inches) and only 15g. WEAK.
The experts at the Natural History Museum bestowed the honour on the worm, and then do you know what they did to celebrate his accomplishment?
They killed Dave.

"Not only was it really long, it is almost twice as heavy as any other wild earthworm ever seen, weighing the same as a small chocolate bar."
"Although his name on the jar is Lumbricus terrestrislittle George did request that his real name, Dave, be preserved forever, too. So on the label it clearly states 'known as Dave' and that will be reflected in the museum database forever."
