I always confuse "compose" and "comprise" no matter how often I look "comprise" up. I solve the problem by never, ever using "comprise". It's a thing.

I always heard "chickens lay, people lie" and assumed that chicken=anything not people.

I guess I'm a huge geek, because I would melt if someone said that to me.

Nope. Chickens lay because chickens lay eggs. (Object of verb). If chickens should become horizontal, they'd lie down just like the rest of us.
The chicken lays its head on my lap. The chicken lies down on my lap.
"its head" is the object of the verb. If there's an object of the verb (you're laying something), use lay. Otherwise, lie.

And I must be a distrustful geek, because I would demand a list of the verbs before melting.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I would like to mention that lots of different people have sex several times in Lord of War, which I saw this weekend, and they ALL do it standing up. After the film, I turned to the people I was with and asked "Did I miss a memo or something?"

It's the latest exercise craze. The next level is doing it on stair-climbers.

What is even happening?
The exercise people ruin everything.

I tend to think sex while standing up is code for "act of desparation" in most films.

Well, you could think of it as ruining sex, or you could think of it as greatly improving your workout.

From a strictly technical point of view, is it easier to hide everybody's censorable bits when standing up? Especially if minimal disrobing occurs?
