Hey, we USED that book in science class! In 2001! There was one with a blue cover and one with a green cover (boy, was that out of date- as I recall, it referred to "white trash" and to "Negroes" who were prone to laziness due to parasites who liked feeding on them. WTF?!)
Sometimes a Planaria is JUST a Planaria.

I had that book! It was my dad's university textbook in zoology in...must've been 1964 or so.
ReplyDeleteI used to read it for fun as a kid. That possibly makes me weird.
My granddad contributed to that book! Brings back memories...
ReplyDelete"accidental dong" -- god, I get takeout from there every friday.
ReplyDeleteThat's one excited leach(or whatever it is)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think leech or planeria, I thought of cuttlefish and squid. They have those tubular bodies that resemble male sex organs.
ReplyDeleteI can make a great spaghetti sauce out of calamari.
What the difference between calamari and squid? One's polite and doesn't swear in public. wink, wink
Geoduck wins the all-time prize for an animal without a backbone that looks like an accidental dong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoduck
ReplyDeleteXeno: not only is it phallic, but it's fun to say! Gooeyduck, gooeyduck, gooeyduck!
