Nominal Totem Shapiras?

[ramjet]

T'would be 'ants', that word.

 

However, nominal totem shapiras was a sound guess.

Heard today on one of those trivia shows on the radio that the ice cream sundaes we saw the characters on Happy Days eating at the shop were actually made using mashed potato, so the 'ice cream' wouldn't melt under the stage lights.

The female angler fish does not mate with males...  she absorbs them (plural) in to her body for her whole life !!

 

"When a male finds a female, he bites into her skin, and releases an enzyme that digests the skin of his mouth and her body, fusing the pair down to the blood-vessel level. The male becomes dependent on the female host for survival by receiving nutrients via their shared circulatory system, and provides sperm to the female in return. After fusing, males increase in volume and become much larger relative to free-living males of the species. They live and remain reproductively functional as long as the female lives and can take part in multiple spawnings.This extreme parasitism ensures that, when the female is ready to spawn, she has a mate immediately available. Multiple males can be incorporated into a single individual female with up to eight males in some species"

[molemot]

I barely escaped from a woman like that......

[Iconic Ride]

By the skin of your teeth?

 

[molemot]

You've met her too??

[hyteck9]

hahahaha....  You guys crack me up!   So I will hit you with a few more.. 

 

Lions can mate up to 100 times a day and the males have spikes on their organs which cause great pain triggering the release of the egg in the female.

 

The male Rhino's organ has "wings"  ( imagine those tampon commercials with wing flaps) that help it navigate the female's maze of dead ends and false pathways in her reproductive system meant to confuse...  um...   anyone else that isn't a Rhino?  No one is really sure why it is this way.

 

The Madagascar Fossa's male organ can be as long as its whole body.  It is so complex in design with cork screw shapes and a hideous spiked ball on the end of it...  that no one really knows how it works.

[johnpwalsh]

That last one must be a real ball buster.

The word “Pylon” originates from the Italian word “Pilone” which was used was used during Roman orgies as an invite to additional participants to join in!

[USAndretti42]

So they were asking people to "pile on" then.  Sounds suspicious to me.
