I say keep the worm’s name the same. It had it first. Barry can change his back to Soetero.

If the worm knew, it might request a change.

The French will figure out a way to use it in an entree.

That is what I’ve read, too, but it said that the name was derived from the indigenous Tupi language, which used to be widely spoken in Brasil.

In Tupi, “oba” means “leaf” and “ma” means “animal”, referring to the very particular body shape of the animals in this biological genus.

N. B. Words like “cashew”, “jaguar”, “tapir”, “maracuja” “kinkaju” or “manioc” have been adopted as loanwords in English and some oher European languages, and so has the German term for pineapple (”Ananas”).

Sorry, I actually wanted to write: “...and the German term for “pineapple” has been loaned from Tupi as well.”

According to Wikipedia, the Obama worm has quite a big family!

Obama baptistae
Obama braunsi
Obama apeva
Obama ficki
Obama fryi
Obama eudoximariae
Obama carinata
Obama itatiayana
Obama burmeisteri
Obama maculipunctata
Obama applanata
Obama argus sensu
Obama ladislavii
Obama nungara
Obama otavioi
Obama josefi
Obama marmorata
Obama anthropophila
Obama decidualis

The genus Obama is characterized by having a leaf-shaped body. Most species are about 10 centimetres (3.9 in) long, but some may reach over 20 centimetres (7.9 in). The hundreds of eyes distributed along the body are of two types: monolobulated, which are simple and circular, and trilobulated, which have three lobes.

The copulatory apparatus of Obama has a protrusible penis occupying the entire male atrium or most of it. Morphologically the genus can be divided in two subgroups depending on the shape of the penis papilla, which may be symmetrical or asymmetrical. The group with an asymmetrical penis papilla includes 10 species (O. anthropophilla, O. carbayoi, O. carrierei, O. decidualis, O. josefi, O. ladislavii, O. marmorata, O. nungara, O. otavioi and O. ruiva) and seems to form a monophyletic clade within Obama.[5] On the other hand, the group with a symmetrical penis papilla is paraphyletic, indicating that this is the ancestral state within the genus.

Reminds me:

What’s Beethoven’s favorite French food?
Un ananas

(You don’t pronounce the “s,” so it sounds like the 5th symphony’s theme.)

That last part sounds strange to care about, but also sounds more like Bill Clinton.

I see two possibilities.

1) Whomever named the worm thought it was a honor to name their discovery after Obama.

2) Whomever named it understood Obama was a worm and thus named it after him.

Either way, very very funny this worm is a problem.

Either hoisted on their own petard or laughing hysterically because their sarcasm hit home.
