Fact for the Day

[hellison]

According to the very instructive and educational How Animals Have Sex" book, which I bought for thipe but now covet for myself, Male Weevils have a penis so... spikey and nasty that each mating significantly reduces the lifespan of the female.


Which probably explains why they prefer Canadians. And Wingnut.

ION you people have DESTROYED my mind. Was just having perfectly normal and unwrong conversation with cow-orkers about new star trek movie. Someone mentioned Christian Bale being it.
I TRIED to enquire if he was to play Young Kirk.
It came out 'So will he be Cock then?'.
*sobs*

Did you make that up, or is it true? It *should* be true! The book is even dedicated to the Female Weevil, which I had no clue of when I bought it. Obviously FATE took a hand there ;p


This icon now seems INCREDIBLY apt ;p

Presumably tho, Hugh likes a bit of weevily rough :p

According to tardington, he's more into the lobsters. And sea captains.

I received the following text from him this morning:

The legend of Hughstoke - a man raised by wild lobsters and tamed by the love of the grizzled sea captain whose nets have caught his heart....

ROFL, Hugh, lord of the sea?

Also, hur hur hur hughSTROKE

I'm not sure ow practical being raised by Lobster is, to be honest...

But when Captain Callum spilled out the net onto the deck of the HMS Hoff, his heart was smitten by the fishy figure that rose up resplendant from the cascade of langoustines, shrimps and prawns. His eyes zoomed in on the heaving crotch - a hundred happy crabs desporting in the Maritime Erogenous Zone!

Woes and waily! Tho, I dont' get it at work anyway, so I shall cope ;p

It was in New Scientist!

Aparently the Male Weevil Penis PUNCTURES INTO THE BODY so vagina's aren't needed. The fake vaginas aim the Death Cock at less fatal parts of the body.

I kid not!

JESUS.

That's just... poor lady weevils :/ I almost feel sorry for Hugh now!

[tardington.livejournal.com]

Same as bed bugs, apparently! The wee sperms swim round the body til they get to the ovaries..*


JIZZ IN THE BRAIN is *not* a pleasant thought. So don't think it.

Now, who remember's Aldiss' Helliconia?

I was about to say 'How DO you know so much about the sex lives of insects?' Then I remembered who I was talking to...

*tries VERY HARD not to think about any of it*

Also, is that Stoaty in your icon? With his BEADY DEAD EYES?

[tardington.livejournal.com]

It is him! I think Mrs Tard will cremate him soon, so this could be his last hurrah. :-(

Re: Bugsex, it was actually in a New Scientist I was reading when I met Thesme during her Great Edinburgh Adventure. Hence Rodette's 'stab me' tattoo...

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Ah, it was obviously FATE then. Rather like the book, which i did not know involved weevils in anyway, never mind being dedicated to the Poor Lady Weevil!

I would say awww about stoaty, but alas, I'm with Mrs tard on this one, those things give me the creeps ;p

Spurt spurt spurt
Fizz fizz fizz
Tardie's brane
