Oh My Goodness.....

Oh My Goodness.....
The "we-were-made-from-dirt" club will have a stroke over this one.

Quote:Scientists studying fossils have discovered that the intimate act of sexual intercourse used by humans was pioneered by ancient armored fishes, called placoderms, about 385 million years ago in Scotland.

In an important discovery in the evolutionary history of sexual reproduction, the scientists found that male fossils of the Microbrachius dicki, which belong to a placoderm group, developed bony L-shaped genital limbs called claspers to transfer sperm to females.

Females, for their part, developed small paired bones to lock the male organs in place for mating.

Placoderms are the earliest vertebrate ancestors of humans.

Good work, placoderms. That's what I call "evolving."

Very cool, but . . .

"male fossils of the Microbrachius dicki". Are females known as Microbrachius vagini . . .?

What an unfortunate name attached to that specific find.

Hopefully we can learn more about how they moved about their environment so we can rename them Motionius Oceanus.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I'd have gone for Microbrachius pussi.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

The Scotch don't fuck sheep. They fuck the English. You're thinking of the Welch.
