This is one of the main reasons Darwin was as famous as he was during his lifetime.

So, being hung like a gorilla vs hung like a barnacle are the opposites of each other and what you'd assume either meant.

And published about it. During his time natural sciences were a popular pursuit for the well-to-do. And articles such as his on barnacle dongs gave the prude public an excuse to discuss something risque under the guise of marveling at god's creations.

I remember doing a project on barnacles sometime in middle school, and this was my 'fun fact,' to be included for extra credit. I had classmates including their project's animal penis size in their presentations afterwards.

I wonder if the writers of SpongeBob knew this when they started using barnacle head as an insult.

In highschool biology class we were watching a film that covered this topic, and when the voice over mentioned the fact, one of the kids in class blurted out something like "I beg to differ" which got some laughs. Dunno why this has stuck with me these many years.

Pretty sure the mutualistic, Fig-tree pollinating male wasp of the Agaonidae took the title. After all they get their sisters pregnant before she even hatches.

This is on an episode of House. He's playing poker with some friends and keeps throwing out penis and testicle animal facts to see how they react.

So that’s how Barnacle Boy from SpongeBob got his name, I was always confused because he never had any barnacle themed clothing.
