Scientists Find World's Oldest Known Genitals - A team led by Prof. Jason Dunlop from Humboldt University has found the world's oldest genitals. This new find is older than the previous record holder (discovered by Prof. David Siveter of the University of Leicester) by about 300 million years. The record holder for world's oldest pile of vomit remains unchallenged. Images of whip-wielding biologists in fedoras escaping giant rolling boulder traps to discover penis fossils flood my mind.
That's it for PrinceValium, you've been great, thanks for coming out!

Man, even at the upper echelon of science, you have guys basing their research goals on a Beavis and Butthead episode.

Wow. Cool. Looks like my dog's vomit, although on a bigger scale.

Preserved within a male is a penis two-thirds the length of his body
So there's a reason for the name, eh?

I was sort of hoping it would become a Metafilter Tagline:
Metafilter: World's Oldest Known Genitals
You know, that kind of thing.

I keep expecting to see that as a subject line on spam. "World's oldest genitals? Buy VIAGRA without a prescription!"
