Luc Longley, the Aussie pivot for the second batch of Bulls championships, may not have been as doughty as Bill Cartwright or resolute as Bill Wennington, but have either of those been responsible for the taxonomic name of a Southern Hemisphere crustacean, have they? Longley wins!According to Wired (via Mr. Q. Rock), last April Longley won a charity auction conducted through eBay to name a recently discovered shrimp species. The shrimp -- now dubbed Lebbeus clarehanna in honor of Luc's 15-year-old daughter Clare Hanna -- is found off the coast of southwestern Australia. Longley was born in Melbourne.
The shrimp naming cost Longley $2,900, which actually sounds downright reasonable. "What'd your dad get you for your birthday." "He named a deep sea species of shrimp after me. What about yours?" "Uhhh ..." Single ponies don't sound so impressive now, do they?
