argh! argh! As some pirates would say.

My head about explodes with that statement. Are those fundamentalists that in denial of sexuality to make that statement?

The physiological reason for polar bears having a penis bone is polar bear reproduction cycle. The female polar bear only produces an egg when it has intercourse. The female polar bear does not come "into heat" or Estrus (the proper name) unless it is having intercourse. Then and only then does the female produce an egg for fertilization. This might take hours, days or two weeks.

If the male polar bear has to remain erect for that long, it can't be hydraulic (human males are hydraulic - - the penis fills with blood). The polar bear and other animals stay erect with a bone -- that is not hydraulic.

Deer go into "rut" once a year because the female ovulates.

Human females follow the moon, sort of, and can get pregnant after one rather short mating.

Strange to begin a day explaining penis bones.

The logic escapes me. If someone has a bone surgically removed, be it from his ribcage or his penis, why would one expect that to have any effect on his children's bone count? Bone surgery doesn't affect the genes. As I understand the Bible account, God just did a little surgery, and if the Bible account is true, it does say specifically it was a rib, not a penis bone. I think Dave's explanation makes more sense.

It is reported that on occasion polar bears spend a week to two weeks humping before the female produces an egg and is impregnated.

No, I don't know about you, but hydraulically, I can't hack a week or two. However, a polar bear with a penis bone can do that.

There are videos but I refuse to go find them as youtube remember what you watched and I don't want "humping polar bears" in my list of things I watch. Nothing judgmental, just don't want to see polar bears humping. eeewww!

wink, wink

SandiBut if it is so, then Adam and Eve shared same set of genes. And that actually explains the sad state of humanity pretty well... what else do you get from such close inbreeding without any control.

Never thought of using that but its great. Thanks fhunter I will use that again and again.

- Dad! Dad?

- Well what do you want? - A Demiurge turned to the Man.

- Dad, look, what a beautiful fruit. I found them myself!

- Yes, wonderful fruit - Demiurge nodded absently and returned to the interrupted work.

- Dad? Oh, Daaaaad!

- Well, what else?

- Dad, and can I eat them?

- What? Ah, yes. Eat to your health.

The Man ran away. Demiurge thoughtfully poked some important part of the universe with screwdriver.

- Da-ad!

Demiurge shuddered and dropped a screwdriver.

- What now?

- Dad, and can I give them to the Woman to try?

- Uhu. Bon Appetit.

- Dad?

- Well what do you want ?!

- And do you want me to pluck them for you?

- Do what you want! Just leave me alone, don't you see, I'm busy!

Demiurge picked up a screwdriver and gently teased the delicate tongue under the base of the universe. The man touched him on the shoulder.

- Da-ad, and I figured out how to call this tree! Apple tree! Isn't it really great?

- *Beeeep*! - Growled Demiurge.

- What do you mean by *Beeeep*? - Man was taken aback.- Ah, do you mean that I need to be fruitful and multiply?

- Yes - briefly nodded after a moment's silence Demiurge.- Exactly... Go... and multiply.

With the man gone, Demiurge replaced the damaged part and picked up a wrench.

- Dad?

Demiurge slowly and carefully tied the wrench into a knot, put it aside, took a deep breath and turned to the man.

- Yes, sonny? I'm listening to you.

- Dad! Snake says I can't eat six pounds of apples, and I say that I can, but the Woman does not believe me, and I ate even more, and they say no, and I do not want to eat more, and they laugh, and still I won! Dad, tell them!

- *Beeeep*! - Said the Demiurge.

- What, again? - Man was surprised.

- Yes. Go.

- Well, I actually ...

- You can't, huh? - Squinted Demiurge.

- And I can! - was offended the Man.- Here's how I go and at least twice *beeep*! Or even three times!

- Go, Go.

Demiurge again engaged in creation. Found some loose wiring, cleaned terminals, reached for the soldering iron ...

- Daa-a-aaad!

Man pulled Demiurge's elbow.

- Dad and I have plucked one more apple, and it is worm-eaten. Dad, can I eat it?

- No you can't! - Snapped Demiurge.

- Really? That's what I thought. Therefore, I plucked other and ate it...

- OUT!!! - Shouted Demiurge.

- What ..?

- Go Away! Exit! Back off! Begone! Leave me alone! Get outta here!

- Yeah, okay, okay, I already understood ...- Man was frightened and backed away.- Consider that I am not here anymore ... uh ... and so long.

At the exit from paradise Man shook his head and said to the Woman:

- And that's is the justice for you! And most importantly, because of what? Due to one lousy apple! ...

The DEFLATEGATE report is out (for all you you have been wondering about the NE Patriots and Tom Brady's balls)

I have only one thought about that:

Here's another version with Iris and Rose (and a rather bawdy crowd) (Iris and Rose are a bit bawdy too.

Shawna Hamic is enjoying the song way too much for my comfort!

And there is actually a version at the Library of Congress:

(it's song #2, so be patient with it)

BTW: "No Balls At All" is considered a folk song brought to the USA by the Irish.

Johnny Depp has to leave Australia tonight because of his terriers.

Seriously? Are we demented? Have we simply lost our collective minds?

Not sure where you are going with this.

Johnny who I think is one of the most talented actors of our time is/was breaking the law in Australia. So fly the dogs home and its over, no big deal.

Side note, Hawai'i would not have threatened Johnny, they would have taken the dogs and put them through a 90 day quarantine complete with shots etc and it would have been very expensive, 4 to 5 thousand each.

Think about this, it cost me about $1500 to bring Nelly to Hawaii, I had another $1200 into Rupert for the same thing.

As I understand it, Australia learned a lesson the hard way with a pair of rabbits and some cane toads, both of which were imported and became nuisances. At this point they have no rabies in the entire continent, but all it takes is one rabid dog biting a dingo and that's all over. I can see their point. It must have been a very slow day for news for that to make network news on TV tonight. Hard to believe there was nothing more earthshaking going on than an actor being told to take his dogs home.
