Re: the longest animal?

was/is the longest animal ever?
Why of course. Doesn't everybody? It is Lineus longissimus, a
nemertean worm. The longest known L. longissimus was 180 feet long
(until I ate it), but I suspect that somewhere out there lurks one
longer still (yum). Ha I say to the blue whales of the world, ha.
Invertebrates rule!

ps: Bill "long worm" Adlam did NOT help me with this. I just knew it on
my own . . .
