Did you know that...

There aren't many happy endings in real life.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

The most you can aspire to is a relief in your ending (and you could argue that all endings are indeed a relief).

Did you know that a Lutheran youth group distributed condoms this year for the Reformation jubilee with famous (although not always authentic) Martin Luther quotes on them like "Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise"?

PS: when the church officials got wind of that they immediately ordered and end to it and even demanded recollecting the already distributed items (no idea how the latter is possible).

Which btw reminds me of this:

One of those real life cases that would be rejected as a movie script for being too contrived, I presume.

Wow, I don't know if it classifies as deadly but definitely harmful.

As for the Lutherans... at least contraception is not a sin (remember I have the pleasure of working for the Catholic Church) [rolleyes]

Where can I get one? Might come in handy.

A Lutheran? Ask Swato.

DYKT when a male bee climaxes, their testicles explode then they die.

Auch!

Yes, that is true.

The male army ant is huge.  When it is ready to mate, it flies near a column of army ants.  The workers and soldiers surround the male, cut its wings off and carry it back to the nest where the queen is.  If the queen refuses to mate with him, he is torn apart and eaten by the ants.  If he does mate with the queen he is eaten after the act.

Better to be a male deep-sea anglerfish.  It might be tough finding a mate, you can't be picky about looks, and you might not be her only attachment, but at least you get a free ride:

And then there is the male praying mantis, who can literally lose his head over a female.

DYKT France was still executing people by guillotine when the first Star Wars movie came out.
