Well, she said that they count them going in and out
'Life of the Party'
ita's thread
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.
And hope that none of THEM were pregnant?
Oh DAMMIT, Toddson. Next level ita.
So, unwisely, I started wondering about the likelihood of pregnant leeches and I discovered that leeches are hermaphrodites and therefore, you could not just use one sex of leech to avoid reproduction!!!!! HOO-HA LEECH BABIES!
Um, thanks for doing the research?
And thanks to that I have done some surface-level research on leech reproduction hoping for something reassuring (like leeches don't give birth while their feeding or something). But no. Although leeches apparently lay eggs, so it's not so much pregnant leeches to watch out for, it's the hypothetical leech attaching its cocoon of eggs to one's insides, as if to a rock or a leaf.
So much for counting.
OMG I am scarred forever from this thread of conversation. ita would be proud, y'all.
Now I'm going to scrub my brain out with soap.
At times like this I really appreciate the researching skills of the Buffistas.
I still refuse to click the original link, so this thread remains deeply mystifying to me.
Probably better that way.
