Apropos of nothing political…
…it is getting too serious in here, so I thought I\’d, er, inject a little scientific knowledge into the mix.
Do you know how a certain variety of flatworm – specifically the macrotomum hystrix – reproduces if it can\’t find a mate?
Unaccountably, I suspect you probably do not. So let me show you a picture of this little guy, and then tell you.
It uses its penis to inject sperm into its own head.
Honest. That\’s what it does. You can read all about it here.
I bet that raises few eyebrows (or is it eyescales) around closing time at the local macrostomum hystrix singles bar….
Ok, back to politics where………..I think I won\’t finish my sentence because there might be laws about the comparison I would make with this species and politicians.
