[_A whale’s penis is known as a dork, which is where the insult comes from._](http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780385337069&view=excerpt) Well yeah, especially when it bumps into stuff. ---

> [@OneCentStamp](#): > > I imagine they must be epic. I mean, their freaking hearts weigh over half a ton. Since I didn’t wake this thread from the dead, I might as well add to it 🙂 Back in High School in Sweden, we went to the local Natural History museum where they had a stuffed Blue Whale Penis. Let’s just say that it was taller than me, standing upright at 1,86 m and the circumference seemed to be just about what I could reach around (no, I didn’t try, I was NOT about to hug a friggin’ penis). It did give me one helluva complex though ☹ ---

[This guy](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1761/where-did-pink-floyd-get-its-name) says there’s no connection between the band name and whale penises.

Aren’t blue whale penises pretty small proportionately, though? ---

Unfortunately, I can’t find a picture, but apparently some Amazonian River Dolphins are homosexual and engage in [nasal sex](http://www.amazon.com/review/R1SHTSUG3C79HN). They fuck the blowholes! Not to mention nose to genital stimulation and “sonic” sex! Their brains are huge! ---
