We should start a pool trying to guess which odd organism, morphology, or mechanism the ID crowd will pick up on next.

bombadier beetle, check
Eye, check
echo-location, check
flagella, check

Notice the bar keeps getting raised as they whittle their irreducible complexities down to nittier and grittier things. We'll be at Prions in a couple years. My guess is some sort of "mitochondrial energy source" nonsense next.

bombadier beetle,

Was this a childhood favorite of yours too?

They could just as easily recycle old arguments.

To Buckland Megatherium was an excellent creature to demonstrate the design of God for reasons which shall become apparent. Some years earlier, an almost complete skeleton of the extinct Megatherium had been brought back from the Pampas in South America. Its very grossness and bizarre structure made it remarkable. It was a good twelve feet in length, stood eight feet high, and had enormous feet a yard long. Being covered in bony armor with an unusual snout and interlocking teeth, it could not fail to attract attention. The Megatherium also gave a considerable challenge to any who wished to demonstrate design from its odd anatomy. That was a challenge Buckland could not resist.

From here:

Buckland

Hey, How could you forgot another IDers favorite?

My prediction is they will stick with the Flagellum because there are so many similar abbrevations like FliP, FliR, FliQ, FliH, FliJ, F0b, FliH, FliO, mota, motb that it makes it really sounds scientific and blinds the followers by confusion which makes it hard to come up with a counter arguement that the laymen can understand.
