How ironic is it that the planet Uranus (Ur anus, your anus...anyway) has a layer of methane gas, which is the same gas that flatulence is made of..?

That's my favorite fact of all DD!!! Woo hoo!

Haha...I just learned about these flies that remind me a whole hell of alot like you men. I cant remember its name, but I'll look it up. What they do is the catch bugs and wrap them up in this little woven bag and give them to the lady flies. When the lady fly gets the bag she'll eat while the guy fly starts mating with her. Some guy flies will give the lady flies a bag and start mating super fast because they didnt put anything inside and as soon as she opens it they're gonna be screwed.
