In my ongoing campaign to irritate the fuck out of people while cramming learning down their throats, I give you this:

In the slime mold Physarum polycephalum, there are more than 500 different sexes! 500! In that species sex is determined by three genes; called matA, matB and matC. matA and B have 13 alleles and matC has 3. As each individual gets two coppies of each gene, the possibilities for different sexes is really big!

But thats not the only cool thing about these animals/plants/whatever, if you have not read somthing about their life cycle, you have not yet lived.

source for sex info:
Olivia Judson. Dr. Tatiana's sex advice to all creation. (You should all read it)

all eyes were on Ford Prefect. some of them were on stalks.

Today I have two facts each one refutes specific clams of bill's

first off, Bill said something like "Men and women fit together, therefore homosexuality is unnatural"
( Note I don't have time to dig up specific quotes, so all of these are paraphrased.)

in most birds, the males do not have penises. (there not super aerodynamic) they fuck by pressing genital openings together. So they don't "fit together." Kinky!



next claim:

"homosexuality is unnatural"

for this one I will post a list of animals that have exhibited homosexual behavior:
Bonobos

Adelie Penguins

Bottle nosed dolphins

stump tailed macaque

baboons

razorbills

the list goes on and on. before saying that your God condems gay sex, look at all the gay sex he has created.

Nudibranchs, slugs and snails are gay and straight at the same time, during the same encounter. God is a pervert!
