IN CASE THE SPIRITS VISIT YOU

You might want this little fellow handy.

p.s. Does this item need a warning? Only, I think, if you don't want your mom to think you're a gay duck.

Woof.

Now that was funny Rita!

"there is likely to be stiff competition"

"One finding in support of this idea, they suggest, is that the drake's penis has a brush-like tip, which they say the males probably use to scrub the sperm of previous mates from the female's oviduct."

Okay, remember I said how Playgirl magazine was the most rampantly unsexy thing ever? It is now the second most unsexy thing ever.

Blech.

To put this in a little perspective for the metrically challenged, 42.5 cm is equivalent to approximately 1 foot, 4.75 inches. I also second Rita's first comment....Whoa, just whoa.

[JT]

So much for the "you can unscrew a lightbulb" joke.

This duck should keep plenty of chickens and Cambodians on hand, just in case.

[Tomorrow's Man]

Boy, when that bird's flying by and people yell "Duck!" they mean it!

In case anyone else thinks of going to the Nature website to double-check this like I did (doesn't that look like a bit of intestine or something in the picture?)you should notice that the article is two and a half years old. By the way, the story is For Real and Not Made Up.

One word:

"W00T!"

[Kevin]

So John C. Holmes was reincarnated as a duck?

[surfbunny]

lets just say I'm thinking of moving to Oregon now

[Jeff Meyerson]

"That's really unusual." You think? Well, duh! Tell that to Rita's boyfriend.

Sometimes you just overanalyze things Punky.

[etc.]

Was the report about "stiff competition" one of the authors' so-called objectionable "'nudge nudge, wink wink' comments"?

[Tomorrow's Man]

Thanks for the image, Punky. I now can not shake a 2-foot-long, tree-trunk-thick endowed BIRD trying to get romantic...oy.

We're all going to hell, and Punky's driving the train.

'Course, Dave's collecting the tickets.

[Tomorrow's Man]

Considering the vein we're in (har!), I'd like to share this equally irreverent point:

"Woody Woodpecker."

I leave the rest to Punky.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

This duck wasn't nearly so lucky so it seems.

[Leetie]

There's some Mulder in McCracken get it out!

I like the headline at the bottom of the page:
"Big bottomed baboons make better mates" - this is according to some very lonely scientists.

once you go quack, you'll never go back.

Welcome back twopuppies! Gotta admit, a least Punky does it with style (not to mention x-rated National Geographic visuals ;-)

[Eykis]

Alex, I am sitting here surrounded by mostly Vanderbilt lawyers, I was wondering what all the high-pitched and low-pitched laughing was about! Thanks..

[Lmd33]

"The authors write that this species is "promiscuous and boisterous in their sexual activity". . .".

Well, you'd be pretty boisterous too if something over a foot long was shoved up . . . .

[Jessica]

Harry P,
That's what I thought about the "Big Bottomed Baboon" story.

Also, as for the duck's expression...How would you look if your "corkscrew penis" was stretched out like that?! Ouch!
