The marine flatworm Pseudobiceros hancockanus engages in penis fencing [video]. SFW, I guess, unless your boss is a super uptight nudibranch or something.

Penis fencing? Why didn't I think of that? I could have made some money off that thing. </lorenabobbit>

Very fascinating. So these flatworms only come in one sex (so to speak), or am I mistaken?

I screwed up my joke. I call do-over: I should have thought of fencing it! &lt/lorenabobbit> OK, now back to work on my viagra material.

Stupid flatworms. We civilized species just steal glances in the locker room and mentally compare.

Great post, thanks. Glad I'm not a flatworm.

Of course a smart worm will just cut itself in half and gang up on the opponent!

Excellent use of the hancockanus tag.

Personally, I prefer my use of the metaphor tag, but maybe that's just me.

Big whoop. Most active Metafilter users engage in penis fencing 90% of their time here.

Psuedobiceros, literally translated, means false two horn(ed), and makes the use of the metaphor tag even MORE appropriate!

Lemmie get this straight (yeah, yeah, i'm so f'ing punny) In the flatworm world, stabbing you with my penis makes you my bitch, literally. Never knew flatworms were so gangsta... or would that be so prison? (queue HBO "OZ" references)

I support penis fencing. If some of you guys would keep your penises fenced in, Metafilter would be a more peaceful place. Ohhh you meant the other kind of fencing... Nevermind.

Hey, don't be so judgemental. To some of us, this is just an average Friday night.

Something there is that doesn't love a brawl.... Good fencing makes brood labor.
