Slow news day.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A fossil crustacean whose scientific name is "swimmer with a large penis" is the earliest clear example of a male animal, British researchers reported. He and colleagues named it Colymbosathon ecplecticos, which means "swimmer with a large penis."

"This crustacean clearly could swim," said Siveter.

And there was another striking feature, he added.
"It is certainly the oldest penis in the world, that's for certain."
"In this case we clearly have a male," he said.

The fossil, preserved in volcanic ash, is so intact that the gut and even the anus can be clearly seen.
