I just had to share this because although it shouldn't, this actually amused me.
One of our newer Hubbers:
http://hubpages.com/profile/penis
What I found most amusing is that penis has no recorded activity and hence no fans! Not surprising really, since it's all about what you do with it
I can't work out if it's a childish prank or a serious spammer getting ready to flood us with penis enlargement spam Hubs.
Extremely immature elementary school giggles.
Jenny
Well I won't be adding penis, because I pretty much hate penis.
Sorry penis!
Jenny, I'm scared to click the profile link. What's the image? Don't want any unknown one-eyes wonders flying at me through te computer screen!
Giggling right with ya.
tiff
Reminds me of the three year old boy having a bath. He was playing with his testicles and said to his mother, "Are these my brains Mum" and she replied, "No - not yet dear".
I like how he already has a score of 5 despite doing nothing but choosing an amusing name.
OMG- what if that's his real name though?
(you know how some people have odd names from different countries?)
I would change my profile name for sure though...
Remember a boy named Sue?
"Ker" is a rude word for exactly the piece of male anatomy we're talking about in my husband's language. The first time he told his mom my name, she told him not to be obscene.
On the plus side, I get to make fun of his relative's names too. His brother in law's name sounds like "whore shed" in English, I don't think he's used his real name in America for anything other than official paperwork since he got here 7 years ago.
Definitely not from this part of the world!
*Everyone Google's the word "penis" to see if it means anything in another language*
;-)
LOL!
Oh, good, I'm glad I can count on you guys to be childish right along with me.
Jenny
You know, personally, I'm willing to bet that penis is a woman.
I'll also bet that penis is hoping some unfortunate suckers will become his/her fans, so they can get their email addresses. Just a guess.
I seriously laughed at loud at many of the responses in this thread, Darkside's in particular. Very clever, very subtle. Really though, I wonder why penis signed up for HubPages? Perhaps we should request a hub from him/her. I don't know what his/her interests are though. How did you stumble upon the profile?
Well, I went to look at MoreNiche, which was mentioned elsewhere on the forums.
Their two main product areas seem to be gambling and penis enlargement products, which more or less ruled them out of my list of possible product providers, but pure curiosity drove me to go one step further.
I knew HubPages didn't allow gambling Hubs, but I wasn't sure whether anyone was writing Hubs about penis enlargement, so I checked ... and you know how HubPages will give you Hubbers matching the search in a little panel to the right ... ?
By the way, there ARE a few Hubs on penis enlargement. And penis size in general. I didn't go and read any of them - it satisfied my curiosity just to know they are there, and haven't been deleted as "adult content".
But I did wonder who would choose that as a profile name ...
Perhaps I was a cat in a former incarnation - curiosity has taken me to some very strange places!
Jenny
I just wasn't buying that explanation Misha
Jenny just "happened" to be looking for penis enlargement hubs ?
You are SOOOOO misquoting me that I left the whole requote in just to prove it, you stirrer.
I didn't "happen" to, I was investigating the product lines of Moreniche, which I heard about in THESE hallowed halls!
I was curious to see if HubPages was allowing Hubs on penis enlargement. Which it is, so apparently they don't contravene the Adsense TOS in the way that photos of breastfeeding mothers and their babies do.
Jenny
I bet there are no photos of penises on this person's profile page though. Or on the penis enlargement hubs. You know - before and after.
I am still not buying the whole. "I was curious," thing
Just heard today that they're thinking of renaming the National Health Service in the UK to refect its more recent role. The new name will be Private Enterprise National Investment Service. Perhaps this guy is a consultant.
Maybe he/she forgot to insert a space and the name really is "Pen Is" Like the Pen Is mightier than the sword. Oh my God, I am totally cracking myself up here.... LOL
(Its OK - not enough coffee yet...)
It might just be a kid who thought it would be funny to come up with this screename, but then saw Hubpages was not Myspace and decided to leave.
Jenny -
I want to know how you managed to find this in the first place?
Guys,
Did you notice that Darkside changed his avatar and now it looks like a pic of him? I like it
Yes, that's a photo of me. In fact it's the original photo from which I made the other avatar.
I just found it last night while looking through my photos trying to find other shots I can use at other sites I'm looking to sign up at.
That one was made to look like a line-drawing. This is also looking good, and cool.
I love your new avatar darkside... cool...(not the penis issue...oops.sowee...)
Me too - you are obviously gorJUS, Darkside!
And local to me, too .... heh heh heh ........
Jenny
Actually Dr oz on oprah ( my wife watchs it ) recommends garlic better then Viagra I thought I just throw that in , Ha Ha
Here is another absurd screen name: "menopause19".
I just noticed it on my Hubtivity screen when robertkelleher became his/her fan.
Jenny - it begs the question - do HubPages screen new users, or simply reply on the vigilance of members such as yourself? Judging by the rapidity of my membership application, I suspect HubPages staff do not sit and wait to vet new applications.
New just in - penis's Hubscore just dropped to 3!
More viagra please doctor...
Darkside - very impressive picture.
I like how if you go to the guy/gal's profile, the Firefox title bar reads "Penis on HubPages".
Even better is the way it reads "Penis has no fans." Well, it did until I joined the fan club. You have to network with all types you know.
Now I have a little box that says "Tell the world why you like penis."
Only a genius could have conceived this mischief.
And as for you, Mark, I raise my nose and turn pointedly from you to talk to someone else ...
Jenny
Well, it is much more to the point than "Purple Helmeted Warrior".
And I have a confession to make. I was a bit of a shock jock at BYU, "The Lord's University" in Provo, Utah. Did any of you ever combine assignments in your college courses? I was taking a linguistics class and a human sexuality class, and had two big assignments at once. So I approached as many of my conservative college classmates as possible and compiled a long list of synonyms for the word "penis." I got a very good grade, and a note from one of the professors asking me to reconsider the morality of my choice.
Good times!
Speaking of childish -- Three pages of ranting on one person who nobody has a clue of their motivation
I think I'll fit right in
At least there was fair warning in the topic header
Welcome to the fray ...
Jenny
Penis gets more importance - more than enough!
Is there something else to point out?
(Very childish and point at potentially offensive material)

Hello fellow hubbers, I have 2 questions:1. I have decided to reveal my "real" name here on Hubpages, but I haven't found the setting yet which allows me to put my name, like some hubbers have done, on their profile page, next to their pen name. For example, fellow hubber billybuc has his...
