Twitter users expressed their anger at the worm's fate at #davetheworm and even created a Twitter account for the dead invertebrate, @PoorDaveTheWorm.

I worked with a guy whose approach was somewhat (but not much!) more technical. He wrapped the stripped ends of a lamp cord around two large screwdrivers, stuck the screwdrivers into the ground and plugged it in.

Meanwhile, in an unrelated story, a hunter in Tennessee just killed a (possible) world-record deer with a 47-point rack the other day.

Apparently there are lots of these in Australia and they grow up to 9 feet:

If it has feet, it's not a worm :)

That was freaky. The number of legs on each side seems to change from beginning of video to end.
