I must protest. Now we've got LOLCnidarians. What's next? LOLChoanaflagellates? LOLPriapulids? LOLLichens? This is MADNESS.

You can protest all you want, PZ, but I have a graphics program with text insert and I know how to use it.
Besides, I was framing science to make it cool. What's wrong with that....
Oh, nevermind.

LOLMadness.... hey, that has a certain ring to it. No one snatch it up before I can get it going, ok?

LOLPriapulids? Priapulids are already LOL. So who was the genius who came up with "dick shaped worms' as a name?
Posted by: Jsn | October 17, 2007 7:43 PM
What would you call it?
Posted by: Sven DiMilo | October 17, 2007 7:51 PM
LOLPriapulids would be fun, maybe allow some interesting 'shrooms for variety since it's always nice to include fungi.

I now have the incredible urge to make my online botany students do a topic-relevant lolplant for this week's discussion post, and award points based on how much it makes me laugh.

LOLChoanoflagellates at your service
Posted by: Adam | October 17, 2007 9:07 PM
Lamarck named Priapulus ('little dick'), though Linnaeus had previously used Priapus ('dick'). And as for how he came up with the name, you just need to look at a priapulid and all will be clear.

Why can't people use proper English?! The pictures may be funny, but the text is criving me dazy.
Posted by: Grammar Snob | October 18, 2007 9:14 AM
The point is, people use proper English. LOLCats (and, apparently, LOL-your-clade-of-choice-s) have their own language.

Forget Halo! They are now serious on reaching the younger generation.

Ha! There's a programming language based on the LOLCats meme: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE

The suggestion in that link of a kitty pidgin Bible. or Shakespeare, led me to embark on this complete waste of time:
LOLDanes:
I can has be? I can has not be.
I'm in ur question.
Slingz and arowz? Rajus 4tune?
Do not want.
I'm in ur C of troubles,
Taking up ur armz
I can has end them? 2 die, 2 sleep
No No can has sleep can say byebye
Hart-ake, 1,000 shucks
That flesh can has, a constipation
Can sez yes, do want.
2 die, 2 sleep, can has dreemz?
Can has rubz?
I'm in ur long napz
Shuffling off ur mortal coilz.

The LOLcnidarians got pharyngulated. Bandwidth exceeded.

PZ wants? PZ gets.

I also want a mill…no, ten mil…a billion dollars.
Posted by: PZ Myers | October 18, 2007 8:48 PM
David, I had my bandwidth doubled, so LOL Cnidarians are available again at least for a short time. My hosting account was apparently intended for more mundane things like advertising hardware stores, etc.
