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 . . .
