There are way too many ways to go with this. Therefore, for the sake of preserving some decorum, we will keep all comments to ourselves and after the jump we will reveal what a "Singing Penis" actually is. Tee-hee.
So let's run through the facts as quickly as possible in hopes to abate the little school girl in us that is dying to ROFL. The Singing Penis is an insect also known as a water boatman or Micronecta scholtzi. AOL reports that it is the loudest creature on earth and can reach 100 decibels (equivalent to a front row seat in a concert hall while an orchestra plays).
What does this have to do with the penis, you ask? The way the noise is made is by the insect rubbing its penis against its abdomen (forgo mental images).
"If you scale the sound level they produce against their body size," explained Professor James Windmill of the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, "Micronecta scholtzi are the loudest animals on Earth."
"Their penis is apparently what gives them their deafening roar." Yea, we've heard that before.
