Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Little Fossilized Peenie

My good friend and mentor Bob reports:

"Colymbosathon, he said, was not remarkable among its group of crustaceans, the ostracodes. Some have copulatory organs one-third the length of their bodies,"

not REMARKABLE??....one-third the length of their bodies is pretty dang remarkable...it doesn't matter how big or small they were, it's all in the RATIO..

Exactly what is he mentoring to you??

In a related *cough* issue:
"and some produce sperm 10 times the length of their bodies."

I suppose spit or swallow becomes irrelavant at the Colymbosathonian level... maybe it's more immerse or runaway.

Ever wonder about people who sit arround - maybe even in committees - coming up with names that mean "swimmer with a large penis", in Latin no less (this may be redundant for those like myself of Italian descentedness) to be bestowed upon clams? I don't.

Conversely, I now want to be known as Colymbosathon ecplecticos.

Colymbosaton Ecpleticos sounds like an NFL kicker.

Hmm...*rubs chin in contemplation*. "Colymbosaton Ecpleticos" sounds more like a Cuban baseball player to me. Most likely for the Cubs.

Colymbosaton Ecpleticos? He was the Forward for the Portland Trailblazers for many years.
