Here is your barnacle fact for the weekend. Also very revealing about one of my most loyal commenters!

Depending on whose estimates you use, when a barnacle is being male, its penis can be up to 8 to 10 times it’s body length.

Suburban Hippie broke the news that Barnacle Bill is one of her husband’s favorite songs.

Bug Girl adds:

I have always loved the idea of humans with penises the on the scale of barnacles. For one thing, getting out the chain to measure a first down in football might require a lot less equipment.

Ben loves Barnacle Bill so much, he made up a parody version to sing to our babies:

“I’ll suck on your tit and take a shit;
I’m Barnacle Bill the Baby.”

Thank God they were too young to understand the words.
