Creepy, I was about to post Narwhals. My grandpa has a tusk (horn, whatever...) in his house.

Anyway, all I want to say is stay out of my head Juan.

There are other candidates. And we haven't touched insects.



Motherf*ckin' Frilled Shark

This one was sick and dying, which explains why it was seen here not eating fishermen.





Cassowary, the worlds most dangerous (to humans) bird.



Immortal Jellyfish
It's able to reverse it's aging process to become a polyp all over again. It's name is literal.

Yeah. Because it's watertight reasoning and a perfectly rational argument. We have no rebuttal.

Cool Bonobo's


Sexy Bonobo

Sexual intercourse plays a major role in bonobo society observed in captivity, being used as what some scientists perceive as a greeting, a means of forming social bonds, a means of conflict resolution, and postconflict reconciliation. Bonobos are the only nonhuman animal to have been observed engaging in all of the following sexual activities: face-to-face genital sex (although a pair of western gorillas has been photographed performing face-to-face genital sex,) tongue kissing, and oral sex. In scientific literature, the female–female behavior of touching genitals together is often referred to as GG rubbing or genital–genital rubbing. The sexual activity happens within the immediate community and sometimes outside of it. Bonobos do not form permanent monogamous sexual relationships with individual partners. They also do not seem to discriminate in their sexual behavior by sex or age, with the possible exception of abstaining from sexual intercourse between mothers and their adult sons. When bonobos come upon a new food source or feeding ground, the increased excitement will usually lead to communal sexual activity, presumably decreasing tension and encouraging peaceful feeding.

Bonobo males occasionally engage in various forms of male–male genital behavior. In one form, two males hang from a tree limb face-to-face while "penis fencing". This also may occur when two males rub their penises together while in face-to-face position. Another form of genital interaction ("rump rubbing") occurs to express reconciliation between two males after a conflict, when they stand back-to-back and rub their scrotal sacs together. Takayoshi Kano observed similar practices among bonobos in the natural habitat.

Bonobo females also engage in female–female genital behavior, possibly to bond socially with each other, thus forming a female nucleus of bonobo society. The bonding among females enables them to dominate bonobo society. Although male bonobos are individually stronger, they cannot stand alone against a united group of females. Adolescent females often leave their native community to join another community. Sexual bonding with other females establishes these new females as members of the group. This migration mixes the bonobo gene pools, providing genetic diversity.

Do we have to do this again?
Or can we leave it to the cook-a-pizza-and-strategize session of the debating and blasphemy society? Next meeting at my place usual time (midnight). Walk around the house widdershins three times and give the password "All hail satan and holy Darwin". Bring a bottle.

[2dimes]

My I tag along if I forego the rituals but bring an extra bottle?
