Shellfish has oldest penis

A TINY FOSSILISED animal resembling a cross between a clam and a shrimp has the oldest penis ever discovered.
We've named it 'swimmer with large penis'

The five-millimetre long ostracode, whose descendants still live in the sea today, was buried under volcanic ash 425 million years ago.

Yet details of its soft parts, including one described as a 'stout copulatory organ', are still preserved.

David Siveter, from the University of Leicester, said: 'The whole animal is amazing. We've got something we could only dream about.'

His team named the creature Colymbosathon ecplecticos, which is Greek for 'swimmer with large penis'.

The specimen was found in a deposit of Silurian-age fossils in Hertfordshire, where marine animals were buried in volcanic ash and then rapidly mineralised

Congratulations Dick!!!
You have to be really pleased to know that you're not the only old swimmer with a large penis

At least that's what the rumor is in the F-T chat room

Someone must have been looking!

Edited:
Damn, I fell for the hook!
If you respond to this thread it puts your name next to it, automatically making anyone dumb enough(like me) To proclam "Not to be the oldest DICK!!!"

Good one, Dick!

Yea, the ostracode is alive & well living today. To put them into perspective, if they were the same size as humans, their "todgers" would be over 2 meters in length.

"Todger"... My, what new things a Colonial can learn reading this site everyday.

BTW is that a soft or a hard "g"? I'm kinda reluctant to ask my ex-pat friends about this at the local Crown & Anchor...

Paul dependent on which part of the Empire you come from ;-) it can be pronounced in a number of ways.
e.g.

Todd jer
Todd jar

but never Todd Grrr!

BTW are you using Crown and Anchor as rhyming slang in your last post?

Mr Maar

Thank you for your support I will wear it always

Todger rhymes with Roger.
A geologist friend of mine took a year off to study said creatures. Why? don't know
