Quincy Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Weird story I found on AOL news while logging into Facebook chat. Went to the BBC nature site it was talking about for a more credible story. 'Singing penis' sets noise record for water insect Scientists from France and Scotland recorded the aquatic animal "singing" at up to 99.2 decibels, the equivalent of listening to a loud orchestra play while sitting in the front row. The insect makes the sound by rubbing its penis against its abdomen in a process known as "stridulation". Researchers say the song is a courtship display performed to attract a mate. Micronecta scholtzi are freshwater insects measuring just 2mm that are common across Europe. In a study published in the journal PLoS One, the scientists discovered that the small animals make a mighty sound. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/13958630 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Are they sure it's "singing?" Sounds to me like it's just a fancy way of wacking off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
