Newly Discovered Flatworm Is Named After Obama

No, really. Apparently on of the discoverers is a fifth cousin or something and named the new Asian turtle parasite after him.

A new species of blood fluke was found infecting the lungs of turtles in Malaysia. This parasitic flatworm has been dubbed Baracktrema obamai, in honor of the President of the United States (who is the fifth cousin twice removed of one of the discovering scientists).

Nothing says filial love like when your cousin names a turtle blood fluke after you!

But I guess just like American history, now Malaysian turtles too will be stuck with Obama forever.

Excessively appropriate !!

Settled science.

If the shoe fits the worm.Seems about right me.

Hahahahaha, if only my cousins loved me as much..

"In honor"...

That would be one of those times when you honestly would say, "Thanks, but honestly, you shouldn't have!"

Don't let any SJW's or BLM followers hear of this there'll be riots in the streets for naming a worm after a black man...

Just you wait for one SJW to come along and claim it signifies the white domination by relegating black people under the ground like worms

I would've thought a Fluke Worm would be more appropriate.

I had to check twice that this wasn't in the jokes, puns and pranks forum.

Too good!

Lol

Oh Good Lord!! That was absolutely disgusting! And yet...as much as I despise Hilary Rod-Ham Clinton, I have to give her credit for the artful and skilled lung chunk disposal maneuver!
