neat! Here's another one for ya: barnacles have the longest penis relative to body size. It can be 25X the length of their entire body. But this makes sense given they are sessile and can't move off to find a mate. But imagine extending that and feeling around blindly for a suitable mate 
: Barnacles are also hermaphrodites, BTW, to eliminate the possibility that the only conspecific within reach is of the same sex! Doh!

Interesting. Sort of like that e-mail going around indicating that pigs can have orgasms 30 minutes long. :joke:
plah831, tell me you don't have "penis envy"... But, it's OK...
I'm sure Dr. Phil will have other ideas... (so as to make more money.. LOL)
The unique "barnacale" is funny in it's own way... Unless you own a boat that stays on the dock for extended periods of time.

No penis envy for me. A barnacle's life doesn't seem too exciting, except maybe for that part. :joke:
