Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

You know, I'm pretty blasé about farmyard insemination but seeing a koala and echidna masturbated on pbs is a new one. I had no idea the echidna penis had 4 heads. Nor that a koala requires 42 thrusts, with only the last two delivering sperm- and the female doesn't ovulate until 40 anyway. And she looks very, very bored.

I don't know what to do with this.

I'd suggest brain bleach, sara.

Orlando Bloom punched out Justin Beiber last night.

I wonder why? I mean, not enough to search it out and it's just an idle thought.

Too clinically scientifically interesting for brain bleach, but really? This goes into the pile with armadillo penises being biological hydrostats: weird facts you trot out that get you looked at weird.

I'm having trouble figuring out if people are weirded out by Orlando's antics or the tales of penii.

Oddly, I lived in DC for six years, voted, owned property, had a driver's license and registered a car and never got called for jury duty.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

...armadillo penises being biological hydrostats

...what?

I was too emotionally fragile for the multi-endowed echidna and the bored and extremely precise koalas, but the hydrostatic armadillo has broken my coping function.

God bless my faux-son, he just came by to get the key to the storage shed to start cleaning it out. He also looked around at all the gaming stuff and said, "Give it all to me, I'll sort it out." Likewise all the armor stuff.

Must do something nice for his wife.

I can't find a link to the article that isn't fire walled from home, but if you really want to know, I've got a copy on my work computer. It's really kinda cool- one of the few forms of bio hydrostats. And the author had to source them from road kill, which armadillos are good at being due to their defense mechanism. So a fucked up and fascinating science endeavor.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I seem to have a groundhog in my garden, which is fine as he or she seems to be eating the weeds. I did not inquire into his or her genitalia, however.

I also learned today that an alternative name for the groundhog is whistle-pig, as evidently they will make a whistle-like noise if they're trying to alert others of their species about danger.
