<< And I also respectfully beg to differ as well. I once broached this very
subject to a friend (no rotary joints in the animal world) and his son
quickly brought out his university biology text book (sorry, no references)
which thorough detailed a rotary joint. It was used to rotate flagellum.
Sperm are a common organism using the method. I suspect the term flagella
was used to describe the motion long before the human race had the ability
to percieve that the motion was rotary, not circular or side to side.

Certainly this issue is worthy of a respectful inquiry. I have posted the
question to the experts and Howard Hughes Medical Institute and expect to
have their opinion on the matter within two weeks. Until then, I will accept
the possibility of existence but I exercise the right to withhold my
conclusion pending further research.
