Number of Genera
This article says "There are three genera...", but the Classification section shows many genera. Which is correct? --121.112.124.72 (talk) 12:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Propably refers to class level taxons: Priapulimorpha, Halicryptomorpha and Seticoronaria. --92.118.191.48 (talk) 02:08, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

name
It's named after the appearance. I just thought scientists would be more ...eh.... scientific than to say, "It looks like a penis! Let's call it a penis!"--Loodog (talk) 21:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Priapos was a mythological personality characterized by his permanent erection. Priapulida would translate to "dimunitive permanently erected man" or even worse "very small dick"... --92.118.191.48 (talk) 02:04, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
