Fossilised crustacean boasts oldest penis

I didn't even know these animals had things like that! I found this very interesting.

Well alrighty then! I'll be the little Colymbosathon ecplecticos ladies were fairly happy.:D

LOL! :D

Can't resist sharing more info on this subject. There was a story on DIRECTV late at night, I think it was on FX, about a penis museum in Scotland. Their largest example was from a sperm whale, 8' long and over 200 pounds! And they interviewed an old man who had agreed to provide their first human specimen, (after he died, of course).

I remember getting in trouble at about 10 years old for pointing out, to a 6 year old neighbor boy, the action in a fish tank of guppies.

I'm sure glad I'm not a whale!!! :eek: :eek: ;)

So this must mean those ''INCREASE YOUR...." spam messages have been around alot longer than we know....


and that's the reason I don't drink water anymore....


Fish "do stuff" in it.........:eek:

Stop it you guys. I haven't had a date in 8 yrs and here you all are talking about men's body parts.......

Where is the justice????:D

And where's Paul Hogan when I need him????

Ah, yes..Richard m'boy..That's from W.C.Fields. Contemporaneous with Mae West's "Is that a banana in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"

Colymbosathon ecplecticos - derived from the Greek for "astounding swimmer with a large penis"


lol, I can see the scientists sitting around thinking THAT one up..

now,

Wouldn't the drag against the water preclude you being an
'astounding swimmer'???

Just wait. someone on a college swim team will change their name to C. Ecplecticos just for the Athens Games...


and for my last joke....

425 million years is a Viagra nightmare.

:eek:

Are you sure we can say that word on here?:o

I'm a little shy about talking about these "things." LOL

Uh....penis is the correct term for that particular body part.

Typically medical terms aren't considered 'bad'.

Whew! Glad to hear that. Don't get me wrong, I really like this subject. It's still a little shocking to hear it said on TV.

Have you ever heard of the infamous Jimi Hendrix plaster cast?

I'm really getting sick of the one star rater. :rolleyes:


I think this is a fascinating subject. I never would have thought such a tiny living thing would have a penis, so it's pretty surprising. We're only talking about a part of anatomy.

Don't worry about the 1- rater, Luckies. This is a sensitive subject.

But probably that person either has one of these, or knows someone who does!

You were brave to post this interesting thread!
