The abnormally large annelid was sent to the Natural History Museum, where it was subsequently euthanized and placed inside a jar where it will be "around for ever more."
Natural History Museum scientist Emma Sherlock said in a press release, "Dave is now preserved in the museum collections, and will now be useful to science."
"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."
Humph. I wonder what Dave thinks about all this OH WAIT HE'S DEAD.
And also probably didn't have the capacity to form complex thoughts, to be fair.
