Did you know that...

[Alex]

Orcas (killer whales) kill sharks by torpedoing up into the shark's stomach from underneath, causing the shark to explode.

Ugh, you have upset my entire paradigm of the balance of the universe!!!! One of those things I was really proud of knowing, and it's a sham!?! Of course, I still pride myself on the ability to tell male and female sharks apart. I think...

Well, I've never seen a shark's penis, but the male sharks have two "claspers". I tried to find you a picture, but nothing came up quickly. Here's a good description of how it works though.

Snakes just have hidden slits in their abdomen. Been pissed on enough times to know that for sure.

This thread is quickly becoming an example of why this new quote feature is probably not a good idea.

It's been my unfortunately luck that when handling various animals that they choose to eliminate on me. Snakes, turtles, fish, rabbits, etc. I've had plenty of occasion to pick up snakes, whether it was out on maneuvers, in the garden, or Jim the boa contrictor I lived with for a while.

Edit: When you were a kid, didn't you ever go out and catch frogs or anything? They'll piss on you ever time.

Frogs and kitten have been horrible to me. Every single time without fail...

I understand the piss reflex is usually either fear or te temperature change... hold a frog or toad cupped in your hand and you can induce torpor from the heat... kind of cool if you need to calm them down to look at them.

I've had lamb's, kid's (goats), and calf's let loose... those stains never come out let me tell you.
