Ok, thanks for the definitive definition. Below is what dictionary.com has to say(thanks to my son).

pro·bos·cis Pronunciation Key (pr-bss)
n. pl. pro·bos·cis·es or pro·bos·ci·des (-bs-dz)
1. A long flexible snout or trunk, as of an elephant.
2. The slender, tubular feeding and sucking organ of certain invertebrates, such as insects, worms, and mollusks.
3. A human nose, especially a prominent one.

Your pictures tell it all("That's not a banana, that's my nose")


Of course now I find there is a proboscis flower...wonder what that looks like?

Well we certainly know how it applies to FIRST robots. Now if we only knew if they were legal...but that's a story for several other threads.
