I find it funny that this vibrator would take us back to biblical times. That snake might have been up to a lot more than you think in that garden with Eve, especially since Adam appeared to be off somewhere else at the time of Eve's encounter with the snake in the tree. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Those-luchy-bastards-41906.shtml Take a look a photo #3. Do you see any resemblance?

I think you may be over thinking this. I think they were just suppose to go for a simplistic design, not a snake penis.

This makes complete sense since fingers are probably the most-user tool for stimulating human genitalia. This is one of those ideas that look obvious in hindsight. My first thought was: nice design!

They're responsible for the decline in popularity of toys made from (relatively) inexpensive PVC. Silicone is expensive and more difficult to manufacture, but it's also more sanitary, and doesn't have nasty adulterants in it.
