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.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I would like to read the penis article, sarameg. They are fascinating creatures.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Colbert's coverage of the Bloom/Bieber hostilities is pretty good. Certainly everything I need to know.

Armadillos or penises??

Yes.

Penises.

That's like an RPF waiting to happen!
No kidding!
I did go dancing this evening, BTW. And would not have sex with any of the folks I danced with (though I think only one was under the age of 40, and only two under 50? And all men).
I had no idea the echidna penis had 4 heads.
How did you not know this? I swear Billytea has mentioned this before.
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.
Now that IS shocking!
I don't know what a hydrostat is, or why I should be impressed, but suggest not sleeping with armadillos, as they can carry leprosy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

She's been skipping and skimming, that's how. Or else the brain bleach actually worked. Incidentally, only two of the heads are in use at any one time, as explained in this article, "Echidna ejaculation is a little one-sided." [link]

OK, that part I did not know. (But I did know talking about echidna penis would bring billytea to the board! it's like saying Beetlejuice or something!)
