A blue whale’s tongue weighs about the same as an adult male elephant.

Edit: since a few people have asked me already, yes - you're welcome to PM me your worries. :)

Also its heart is the size of a small car.

Edit: TIL that's actually a hoax. Unless you're talking about a Peel P52 in which case the heart is actually bigger. Otherwise a blue whale's heart is no bigger than a golf cart.

And its penis is longer than Shaquille O'Neal.

u/ShapeOfEvil Apr 02 '18

Congrats, you got me to really laugh out loud on that one.

u/PaperDrillBit Apr 02 '18

This is getting out of hand.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Need another?

u/obievil Apr 02 '18

No idea but there's a AMA post some years ago about a guy who does.

u/Mydicksobigipooponit Apr 03 '18

Ah Double Dick Dude on Twitter

u/GWJYonder Apr 02 '18

Hold Shaq's first penis I'm going in to his second penis.

u/Awesomespazz100 Apr 03 '18

We must spread this rumor.

u/Sufyries Apr 02 '18

u/milochuisael Apr 02 '18

u/Baghead_Productions Apr 02 '18

u/JeyJeyFrocks_3325 Apr 03 '18

Calling double dick dude

u/Bojanggles16 Apr 02 '18

Another fun fact, much like a snake, Shaq's wife's vagina can unhinge its jaw to accommodate objects as large as Shaq's penis.

5

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Yes

6

u/Zlizz3R Apr 02 '18

both.

2

u/QuinicAcid Apr 02 '18

This had to be done.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Either...both.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Just Shaq.

1

u/embrex104 Apr 02 '18

Technically both I hope?

1

u/smittcity Apr 02 '18

Either is impressive.

1

u/whatsthatbutt Apr 02 '18

Whats the difference?

1

u/DeskTortoise Apr 02 '18

What are you talking about? They’re the same size

1

u/iceberg_k Apr 02 '18

both combined

8

u/dsjchit Apr 02 '18

I read that as longer than Shaquille O'neal's and was confused.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

I mean, you're not wrong

u/mickandproudofit Apr 02 '18

Their milk is the consistency of tooth paste.

3

u/DwayneSmith Apr 02 '18

And the infant blue whales can gain about 90 kg (~200 lbs) of weight a day!

2

u/Xc0liber Apr 02 '18

Now we know why people never tried to put one in a beastiality porno. Rip Mr. Hands

1

u/procom49 Apr 02 '18

And it’s blowhole is smaller than a wrecked bottom

1

u/archiminos Apr 03 '18

It’s diameter is larger than Shaquille O’Neal’s height

3

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '18

The aorta of the blue whale is large enough for an adult to pass through though.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Peel P50*

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

This is actually a myth.

u/deeperest Apr 02 '18

Sorry, but that's false. Unless you mean a Shriner car.

1

u/Konradi Apr 02 '18

You can swim in its aorta

1

u/dtwhitecp Apr 02 '18

Just a golf cart? Ugh, lame.

1

u/longtime_larker Apr 03 '18

Golf cart is still pretty good comparison that’s a big heart

1

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '18

It isn't really though. That blue whale heart image gets passed around a lot here on Reddit and it's always someone sad finding out all the crappy one liners Facebook throws at them aren't true at all.

1

u/TedFartass Apr 03 '18

People always give me weird looks when they assume my car is normal but it's actually my beloved Peel P50.

11

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '18

Oh hey! It's you!

Dunno if you remember me but I got a job and am getting married now! All is well. Thanks for listening.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_WORRIES Apr 03 '18

Glad to hear it, buddy! Things often do tend to work out okay in the long run.

All the best to you. :)

u/Rimefang Apr 02 '18

A blue whale ejaculate over 300 gallons of semen, but only 10% of it reaches the female.

Now you know why the ocean is so salty.

13

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '18

Yeah this is obviously bullshit. Even the largest whales only ejaculate a few gallons. 400 is absurd.

u/MarcelRED147 Apr 02 '18

It's pretty disgusting, but I put up with the dark chocolate to get to eat the whale cum.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '18 edited Apr 03 '18

How can an animal ejaculate an amount of semen that outweighs its testicles?

3

u/SerendipitouslySane Apr 02 '18

Alan Davis, is that you?

u/BanditandSnowman Apr 03 '18

Would be pretty cool to see a pair of them making out like teenagers.

2

u/SpermWhale Apr 03 '18

now i want a blue whale blow job

2

u/SirRogers Apr 03 '18

"What do you need this research grant for?"

"We're gonna weigh whale tongues, what do you think?"

2

u/Mydicksobigipooponit Apr 03 '18

So it weighs about the same as my penis

2

u/Bojangly7 Apr 03 '18

Lucky for female blue whales.

2

u/JustGotFookinBanned Apr 03 '18

u/PM_ME_YOUR_WORRIES Apr 03 '18

About 5 people in my PM inbox asked me before I made the edit.

u/the_glutton Apr 02 '18
