rats and sperm
 

Interesting fact that I wanted to share-- female rats can hold sperm and fertalize their eggs when they want to. If there is a food shortage or something they usually won't fertalize. If human women could do that, the world would be a better place.

Well i guess you learn something new everyday lol

That's strangely arousing...

I was just kidding. Stop looking at me.

That'd be neat... More dumbasses would then use Condoms.. As they'd be afraid the chick would go psycho after sex and get pregnant... That'd be nice! The world would get better! :)

omg, those little creatures are such incedible survivors.
i don´t quite see how so many people out there really hate them...

I love them. They are me favorite pets. Too bad they die so fast.

That's if you like your hand more than you like pussy.

i wish i was a female rat. i'd store other things inside of me though, such as chocolate and tissues. haha im tired

Do you want my colony?
They're slowly but steadily pushing me out. :mad:

/me imagines a horde of rats heave-ho'ing a couch outside with Fremen on it :)

Rats are pretty cool... and they do make fun pets...

my pet rat back in the day learned how to open his cage from the inside... so i had to safety pin it closed or he would get out... jump down from the cabinet and make a beeline for my room... always my room... and he would come if you called his name!!



Kangaroos can stop a fetus's development mid pregnancy if theres a food shortage... and then continue it when the food supply is back...

JStrider: How the hell does that work?!?

I wonder if the extra sperm they store kills them??? I think we need the Govt. to spend tons of money to find this out...

eugh!!! no!!! thats just not nice! yuk...lose the thought!!!

i think its a nice thought haha my own personal storage rat would be nice too

how long can the sperm survive? I thought the lifespan was only a few days... or can they actually preserve the sperm ?

Another interesting fact is that not all animals ovulate spontaneously on a schedule like humans. Some animals like cats and rabbits are induced ovulators and only ovulate in response to copulation or manual stimulation similar to it.

How would that make the world better? Has someone told you there's a shortage of sperm?

Interesting bit of information, I had no idea they were able to do that.

Kangaroos do something similar. If I remember correctly they can store sperm from different partners and use which one they feel fit.. then again I might be wrong.. :confused:

Actually, that would kind of suck. Then women could hold pregnancy against us and blackmail us with a child for something. :p hahaha

j/k

Are you psychic? :p

You know whats better than a real rat, a fake one!! Someone down the hall of my dorm has one that just sits at the front door. Whenever a new person walks by they just jump, it never gets old...lol

For some reason, I find this disturbing, interesting, but disturbing.

What they lack in longevity, they make up for in numbers.

And tenacity.

Thats pretty cool, as you said the world would indeed be a better place if human women could do that.

It might not be though. Women might feel much safer with unprotected sex and having sex in general. I really don't know which keeps them using condoms, STDS or pregnancy. If that was true, we could have a much worse off world.

That is interesting indeed. I came across another interesting tidbit while watching discovery channel the other day.

It said a woman is more likely to get pregnant if she orgasms. They did a ultra-mega closeup of it.. very interesting... I think I'll do a little research and see if I understood that right...

finally an excuse for all those guys out there that can't get their women off! :lol:
