[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Really? awwww. that's so boring! *g*

[quiet--tiger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, penises.

Penii if you're going for cute, I suppose.

Or you could stick to the 1001 euphemisms for those things.

[tragicllyhip.livejournal.com]

Most definitely penises:) update soon then?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ther will be *NO* multiple penisesii in this fic!
You'll have to ask justabi about that. Well, it was bifurcated actually....

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*pout* I wanted it to be more interesting. Penises, boring! Well, not penises per se...'kay, shutting up now.

Nothing good can come from the answer to that question.

You know how you're just kind of sitting there and something crosses your mind, and who else can I ask a question like that but you guys?

Dear god...now I wanna know WHY you wanna know THAT!! LOL

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!! No, no, nothing like that--just wondering.

The perennial question... The one thing I do know is that the plural of hemipenis (the paired set of penises/penii on a snake) is hemipenes... As in 'study of garter snakes reveals that in general the hemipenes on the right-hand-side of the body are larger than their counterparts on the left'. (Yes, people study the hemipenes of snakes and probably even get paid for it.) I've never head anyone call them 'penes' when comparing two men though. *wanders off in deep thought*

Heh. When I spell checked this, the lj spellchecker didn't bat an eye at penises, but penii, penes, hemipenis, and hemipenes all got flagged. :)

Heeeee! There you go, as any middle-schooler can tell you, Spell Check is THe Know-All, The One And Only. It is penises! So it has spoken!

[pepperjackcandy.livejournal.com]

Yep. It should be "penes."

[nerowill.livejournal.com]

*hee* Thanks for sharing! Next time it comes up in conversation I'll use 'penes'!

[herohunter.livejournal.com]

Penises!!!!!!
YAY!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Penises are always yay! *laughs*

[bittermint.livejournal.com]

You're having multiple penises, all at once??

I hate you. :P

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I once broke out in multiple penises, but I got a cream to clear it up...These are the jokes, folks...Okay, it's late and I'm tired. *snorf*

I knew a girl (um... in passing) who told me that she once had two penises at once. She said it was painful and not at all worth it. I sort of sat there and tried not to look at her funny. I mean, really. Would I pass up two penises? I guess it would depend who they are attached to, but I can't rule it out.

Roxy, thank you for bringing up this question, never thought about that.
But I have to ask, what prompted this question? Did you align Lex, Clark and Bruce, strip naked and decided you needed a more seemly term than cocks?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, sorry, no, nothing so interesting. It was a random thought, you know...but hey! I got to hear from you, so--bonus!! *biggrin*

[anitac588.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been scarce lately, haven't I? ;-) Trip to Venice took over my brain before and after.
Random or not - I like the image of lined up boys saluting. *g*
