Weirdest Thing You've Researched?

Male Papilio Demoleus live for only 4 days

They mate and they die. Think about it: if you could only have the same ratio of matings to days, you would die very, very happy. An 80 year old would have had sex 7,300 times.

I had a lonely adolescence. I'm pretty sure I came close.

Not with anyone else there, mind you, but still.

Hmmm, and here I had you pictured as the school Adonis, captain of the football side and all that. I mean, you captured the heart of 'the redhead' after all...

She was a lovely example of the feminine form and my young padawan and I plotted the destruction of her virginity together. Soon she'd just be another whore on Tatooine.

@MillieDynamite I didn’t know you did fanfic.

Cricket's not that bad. Imagine baseball with only two bases.

In summary:

The Rules of Cricket

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.

Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.

When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.

There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have got out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

Note that an innings only ends when everyone on that team is out, and there's two innings for each team. Rounders (the game UK kids and drunk adults play which looks like baseball) works the same way.

Imagine my reaction after sitting through two innings for both teams taking two hours of a baseball match, being delighted we could go home, and being told no, there's more. And to guess how many innings a baseball match has... I guess it was boring even by local standards, as only a quarter of the audience was left for the ninth, which actually had the only interesting action of the day. In the sense of the audience mainly being there for the food and drink and knowing any good bits will be repeated on TV, cricket and baseball ware pretty similar.

I don't. It was just something that had sprung into my head. I decided to take a hero and make them not so heroic. It could have Batman and Robin, Superman and Jimmy Olsen, or Kirk and Spock just as easily.

Kind of painted an interesting picture of the Jedi order's dark underbelly. They're not supposed to form emotional attachments, but I'm sure Jedi have, um, needs, so. How would a powerful, force sensitive being with mind control abilities ensure that the 'needs' of their friends are met?

OK, I'll admit, it didn't take much to get me there. I sort of live in the neighborhood of dark underbellies
But it is an interesting picture. Just what really goes on in the back rooms of the Jedi Temples???

So, fun fact: Jedi are absolutely allowed to bang, but they're not allowed to form strong emotional attachments.

Jedi are canonically fuckboys.

You can't really do a more obvious phallic symbol than a lightsaber.

May the Schwartz be with you.

"I see your Schwartz is as big as mine" made it pretty clear for anyone who hadn't got the message.

I have set what I believe to be a personal best by looking up how long it takes for Cheetos to go bad and what the negative health effects might be.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Yellow fingers and mouth, lips, and chin come to mind right off the top of my head. Maybe a feeling of superiority and the need to use the words huge, tremendous, I'm just the best, and to run for president.

I just looked up "lactation" to see if a porn video I saw of a woman squeezing her breast, sending out a thin stream of milk was real and possible.

It's called "over producing"!

I needed that for my latest story, which should go live within the next few days.

The Cheetos are stale. The cheese coating is rancid. They're hard to eat, believe me, very, very hard to eat. I almost didn't finish the bag. That's how bad it is, these Cheetos. They've let the Cheetos get so bad, folks. So bad. These Cheetos I'm eating are five, maybe six years old.

I had an ex-girlfriend who once told me she'd accidentally sprayed across the room while lactating. She lied to me about a lot of things, but I don't think this was one of them.

Have you guys never known any breastfeeding mothers? Accidental squirting is a big problem, especially in the early days. Controlling it and being able to hit a target would be a good party trick, but I never managed that. But ten feet, getting the spouse in the ear randomly, no problem.

I've researched kumquats, and apparently they don't have queens. They don't even live in hives!
