More Than I Need To Know


Thank to Mike for sending this to me. Now I know I can kick the squids in the junk if they threaten me or try to mate with me. What? I am a fabulous human speciman and the stinkin' cephalopod could do a lot worse.

"See this series of pictures? It's a deep sea squid. In the first picture it's just a normal-ass looking squid, right? Well in the second one its been dissected to see its johnson. It's the white tubular (but not in a gnarly, hang-ten kind of way) thing in the lower half of the photo. And the third picture -- oh boy -- that's the same wiener, erect. I know, I just puked up the last of the deviled eggs from the 4th.

The male squid's sexual organ is almost as long as its whole body, including the squid's mantle, head and arms.

The squid uses its lengthy organ to reach into the body of the female, and it then injects the sperm directly to prevent it being washed away.

How the sperm injected into a female's body then reaches her reproductive organs remains a mystery."

I'm sure that somewhere in the world, somebody views that stuff as a delicacy...

I wish that whole fuckin thing would have remained a mystery.

Lazarus, you would know if you went back into my history that I hate them. They an evil that does not sleep. They frighten me like nothing else does in this world. They gossip and they can't keep secrets. They spend all their time thinking of horrible ways to kill us all. The are irredeemable. Don't not trust them or give them matches.

Thanks for the heads up on the evil under the sea! Will keep an eye out and salt at the ready.

Thats all I can ask. Always good to have an ally. So much better than a collaborator. I hate them most of all.

Of course I used it. Knowledge is power and now their junk is exposed for all to see and laugh at.

Thats one more thing I did not need to know. You do know that every time you remember a useless fact you forget something important?

Thanks Tempo...I think. I just can't remember.
