Oh neat, now I know Penis Worms have purple blood. And that Penis Worms exist.
My exact thoughts. Penis worm? Time to look up how to actively avoid getting any penis worms.
Chill, they’re called that because they kinda look like penises, they’re not penis parasites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapulida?wprov=sfla1
Well now I’m concerned about the picture of my penis in the wiki article…
You’re right. It’s the Sounding Worm that is the penis parasite, not Penis Worm. Sounding Worms are aptly named because they get inside the urethra and live there, and can even cause orgasm when excited.
Must not look this up… Must not look this up. Must not…
They’re easy to spot if you have them.
They’ll appear as thin squiggly lines running underneath your skin, usually a different pigment than your natural skin tone.
Don’t dip your oar in Lake Katchakootie
It’s the existence I really have a problem with.
came for the outrage, then came for the outrage
Ahahaha benis :DDD
Knew about Haemoglobin and Haemocyanin, but never heard of the other two before. Very interesting.
Also, RIP Penis worms. Got a terrible name and have low efficiency oxygen transport.
I remember one of my sister’s teachers were saying that human blood is blue when inside your body. “Just look at your veins!”
Yeah one of the great lies we were all taught.
This is yet another trick to make us look at penis worms :P
Well “hey baby wanna look at something purple and full of blood” hasn’t worked for me yet
This is clearly propaganda by Big Penis.
Or at least by Big Penis Worm
Chlorocruorin is really confusingly named. I was trying and failing to find the chlorine in it and was wondering if I was just dumb or blind or what.
khloros is Greek for “green”. That’s also where chlorine gets its name. So they’re only related etymologically.

Did you go with purple?

Whenever I see this image I always wonder 2 things:
- What makes hemoglobin more efficient?
- Why do we even need these fancy molecules to transport oxygen? Can’t we produce some kind of biological ampule that holds some pure O2 for consumption by the various processes that need it? We have dedicated organelle structures for similar tasks (i.e. mitochondria)
- Penis worms?
Amazing that Vulcans aren’t mentioned on this list. And on a more serious note: humanoids with green blood are apparently not that impossible!
Penis worms?!?!
interesting to know there’s purple blood, though! I didn’t know that
Guys, the blood that’s coming out of my penis worm is red.
Should I be worried?- obligatory Homestuck mention *
Haha they’re called like that because of their shape right? Right?
Woohoo!
Whoever named the penis worm hit the nail on the head.
I see what you did there
Red, the blood of angry men
