Now for something completely different
I'm in the loo, brushing my teeth and listening to RadioLab on NPR last night. The broadcast was about sperm and how Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first person to see sperm through a microscope (immediately after copulation, no less).
Could you imagine being the first person in the history of mankind to see actual, individual sperm? If I were him, I would have looked down at the wriggling mass of eel-like critters and then promptly shit my pantaloons.
Anywho, my adolescent reactions aside, do yourself a favor and listen to the program. It's quite amusing and comes with Maury baby-daddy sound bytes.
As an aside, Boyfriend noted the many and varied ways nature and science can combat or kill sperm. Heh. I replied that while sperm might have it tough, at least it has the Catholic Church on its side.
