Elon and 47: It's the battle of the hermaphroditic flatworms

When I saw pbmus's post "No, it's two very small penises fighting," for the heck of it I searched images for "small penises fighting" and hit this (and replied to that post). Every time it popped into my head today, I found myself laughing so a figured it might deserve a post of it's own.

Or perhaps I'm just a bit warped by all the insanity heaped upon us.
