That's not a worm, that's a chemical compound playing a prank on you. Read the name again: "buta-1,2,3-trien-1-ol" sounds like "but a tree in one hole" if you say it fast enough. The structure even looks like it's raising an eyebrow with that OH group. Classic organic chemistry humor—making molecules sound inappropriate since 1806. Chemistry professors probably giggle silently while writing these on exams.
