Penis Worm

the PENIS worm! gotta love it.

Name is redundant, no?--Wasabe3543 16:18, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Why is it called the penis worm? Does it inhabit penises? Does it resemble a penis? Is it noted for it's penis? Monsday 06:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Resembles a human penis. User:CarlFink

I guess students name their penis worms "Dick" in the labs....204.52.215.107 01:51, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Number of Genera

This article says "There are three genera...", but the Classification section shows many genera. Which is correct? --121.112.124.72 (talk) 12:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propably refers to class level taxons: Priapulimorpha, Halicryptomorpha and Seticoronaria. --92.118.191.48 (talk) 02:08, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

name

It's named after the appearance. I just thought scientists would be more ...eh.... scientific than to say, "It looks like a penis! Let's call it a penis!"--Loodog (talk) 21:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Priapos was a mythological personality characterized by his permanent erection. Priapulida would translate to "dimunitive permanently erected man" or even worse "very small dick"... --92.118.191.48 (talk) 02:04, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
