From the BBC:
Scientists find clitorises on female snakes
Questions that come to mind:
- Who the heck decided this was a worthwhile subject for scientists to investigate?
- Who the heck poured money into this project - and why?
- Now that they know, what the heck are they going to do with that knowledge? Make vibrators for vipers?

It was probably more of a 'hey-whats-that' during a dissection or health exam, followed by a hunt to see if new phenomenon was on all snakes, or just females, etc.
Ironic that the scientist making the discovery was a woman.
Probably male scientists had been looking for it but unable to locate it. :)

1) HOW DARE THEY ASSUME THOSE SNAKES' GENDERS!!!
How do they know they didn't discover clitorii on male snakes?
2) I'm willing to bet a number of snakes in the project were actually well-known actresses. The possession of genitalia by those reptiles is no great scientific discovery.
I have more. Don't tempt me.
NOW, they need a study of the snake's sex life, does it appreciate low lighting, Barry White and wine?
Genital morphologist, who knew that was a career?
Will they let the male snakes know?
Or is just a sssecret for the sssnake sssisssterhood?
