Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Weird and wonderful foreign words.
My favorite has got to be the German Backpfeifengesicht - a face that cries out for a fist in it.
Backpfeifengesicht - a face that cries out for a fist in it.
Oh, MAN. I can't remember the last time a word made me so happy. In fact, I'm mentally editing video of yesterday, and tagging a number of people terribly, terribly Backpfeifengesicht.
Those wackily perceptive Germans.
One of the comments to the foreign words story is board-relevant:
In Afrikaans we sometimes call a stapler, a 'pampiervampier'. Literally, 'paper-vampire' If you look at your stapler and use it, the meaning becomes obvious.

China kicks off high-tech project to spy on pandas' sex lives
Sadly, the curious scientists may find out that not much is going on even when the pandas believe they are alone and unobserved.
A lack of interest in sex is one of the main reasons why the furry animal is endangered, and measures ranging from specially designed Viagra to panda porn movies have done little to change that.
I wonder what panda porn movies were called. "Wet-n-Wild Pandas!" "Back-Door Panda!" "Naughty Panda Nurses!"
The hub is practicing the pronunciation as we speak.
I'm going to write it down and take it to a German speaker at krav to get the proper hang of it.
Still more sex: Suckers for gay trysts, fiery females and rough sex - squid secrets exposed
One of the two males washed ashore was found to have been accidentally inseminated - backing the findings of research in previous strandings.
And scientists now believe the males had either accidentally inseminated themselves during "violent" lovemaking sessions with females or been inseminated by other males after "bumping" into them in the dark depths of the ocean.
...
"But males get round their inferior size by being endowed with a particularly long penis, which means they can inject the female without having to get too close to her chomping beak. The male's sexual organ is actually a bit like a high-pressure fire hose and is normally nearly as long as his body - excluding legs and head.
That's an image that I don't really need when I eat calamari....

I find that to be true of squid anatomy in general, not just the freaky sex firehose stuff. In my world, the squid body is made up of the tasty part, the tasty part, and the breading.
