I do that with earthworms I find slowly drying out on the pavement. Just give them a kick onto the wet grass.
Probably about 13-14 years ago, I read an article in some magazine where the author was running laps on his local 400m track. I think he said it had rained recently so there were alot of earthworms out and about on the track. After turning some laps, he noticed that one of them wasn't heading for the grass in the center or outside, but was heading down the track, towards the finish line. And at a rate that was going to beat him. I remember him writing that he picked up his pace just so he would beat the worm but ended up losing. By the time he finished, the worm was halfway across the line. Very amusing article...
Sorry for the randomness.
