excerpt:

And this particular sample of vomit has been officially classified as “danekrae,” a designation saved for Danish objects of “exceptional natural historical value.” That means the vomit belongs to Denmark, not the finder, and must be turned over to a natural history museum.

This vomit with “exceptional value” will be displayed in the Geomuseum Faxe, in the town of Faxe, about 48 miles by car south of Copenhagen, over the winter holiday.

As Dr. Milàn said, with perhaps more solemnity than you might expect, “This is the most famous piece of puke in the world.”
