Another reason for me to dislike Squids, first they eat my beloved Mobula and then bam 67cm penis!

For those not in the know, the following is a Mobula

I will actually be reading that paper on 'Fancy Science Magics' and will report back if even with my Astrophysics degree it makes any sense to me.....Check this space

also largest 'Relative penis in a vertebrate (excluding the ridiculous barnacle.) is an Argentinian Blue Duck which has a penis 4x its body length!

We're going to discuss an animal that is near and dear to my heart: squids.
Squid are also my favorite sea animal! They are ridiculously cool. (Hyenas win overall as the coolest animals ever)
Hyenas always make me think of the ones from Lion King. I just can't take them seriously anymore. Even if one was gnawing at my bones, I'd still be laughing.

This stuff is always great to hear about, but why are so many of them based around animal sex and sex organs?

Every issue wherein animal sex has been involved it's always the first thing in the title.
Surprisingly, people tend to be interested in sex. Plus, it's downright cool. Squids inject their partners with semen! Ducks have corkscrew penises! How does it even work with elephants! It's crazy!

I foresee a special issue focusing on the reasons of porn.

It always brings joy to my heart remembering the laugh of a cartoon hyena.

And are the only species to have been videoed by scientists indulging in the act of homosexual necrophilia. Uh, the ducks I mean, not the scientists.

So wait the Bowhead whale can breathe under water?
They can't smell underwater, but they can smell scents in the air while surfacing. Cetaceans have olfactory bulbs that are reduced or entirely gone, but the bowhead whale has a pretty large olfactory bulb - about the size of a baboon's, in a bulb to brain weight ratio.

Wow you know your stuff, that must be a nice luxury for a sea animal, being able to come up for air get to smell it.

So squids have giant Johnsons? Can we start using the phrase "hung like a squid" now?
If that phrase ever becomes popular, I'm blaming you.
Hey, someone else already said that before me.
Hung like a Squid

That's right, folks. You heard it on The Escapist first!

So... If I'm understanding the time travel fairy-dust theory correctly, going back in time won't alter our own perceived version of existence, but could in fact still create an altered new parallel time line where the effect would be felt...? And if a person could go back in time and they did alter the past and returned to the present, would they be returning to the time line they originated in, or would they return within the new time line... I think I need to go take a couple xanax and lie down now...
