It was, as every Sunday School pupil knows, a humble earthworm who was sent by God to comfort Moses in his hour of need. And so, the Bible teaches us that the worm is considerably more interesting than the dull brown wriggly stringy thing it appears to be.
The Earthworm has a brain, a single eye, a mouth and a nose at either end. This is quite unfortunate for the worm as it also has an arse at either end and is prone to bouts of diarrhea. The widely believed myth that if you chop an earthworm in two it will become two worms is of course, untrue as it needs both arses to be functioning to survive.
The earthworm is not an insect. It is, in fact, a type of spider possessing eight tiny rudimentary legs and the habit of eating its partner after performing the procreative act.
