Things that are worth knowing.

Its useful to know all creatures have appetites, and the strength of any appetite is a reliable indicator of what to expect. We obsess when our appetites are great, and become hypercritical when appetite is weak.

In ancient Rome, when a man testified in court he would swear on his testicles.

That's what 'testify' means. Lacking testicles, women and eunuchs couldn't testify. To give testimony meant, "I swear by my balls that this is true; if I lie, cut them off." The practice should be reinstated. The penalty for perjury (male) should be castration. Cut the liars.

Politically incorrect .
Of course a woman could swear by her ovaries to keep the balance .

The Queen honey bee will mate with 18 to 22 drones on her mating flight and all of these will die of the exlosiveness of their ejaculation. She becomes the most prolific progenitor of any species, laying up to 2000 eggs per day through a warm May and June, fertilising them as she lays them with sperm she keeps in her abdomen from that one mating flight, for three or more years.

I feel humbled and privileged when one of these ladies dains to have a little wander over my hand.

Does that mean women would give an ovation?

Ok, so this isn't ground breaking but the movie Independence Day Resurgence is a steaming pile of manure. Just putting that out there.

Nonsense

Testis means witness in Latin.

So the original Roman derivitive "testify" means "witness my balls while I tell the truth with my mouth."

The meaning has sort of shifted over time since we went from robes to trousers.

The boomslang snake’s venom causes you to bleed from all holes of your body.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

TRYHARDER has the etymology of testis backwards.

TESTIS is Latin for WITNESS. In Ancient Rome males were witnesses. TESTICLES is the plural euphemism for the male sex.

Yea but we wouldn't cut hers out because that would be sexist.

Only cutting mens balls off would be properly PC.

Part One in an ongoing series.

Heterosexual men, in particular, may be interested in knowing that the clitoris has been mapped. It's different.

In 2012, the largest star yet found, UY Scuti was measured and discovered to be 9.3 billion miles in circumference, with a volume five billion times that of the Sun. Light takes almost seven hours to circumnavigate it.

The oldest large human structure yet found, by far, is at Gobekli Tepe, a (probable) temple complex in Anatolia, Southern Turkey. At between 10 and 12 thousand years old, with 20-50 ton pillars that must have been dragged from a considerable distance, it resets almost everything we thought we knew about early civilisations - especially given that agriculture and settled communities were not supposed to exist before 8-9,000 BCE.

I could do with a cup of tea. Right now, of course, that is the most important thing worth knowing.

I suspect there may be more things worth knowing, though. I'd like to read about them, if you'd be so good.

wonderful link, des, thankyou! explains a lot, especially that sensation leading up to a great Ohhhh of all energy being drawn towards/focused on a point in the small of the back near the spine

Well, now I want one.....

And I have nothing of use to contribute at this moment except bookish nonsense like when Gabriel Garcia Marquez passed, Columbia's President declared three days of mourning. However, the citizens of Marquez's hometown Aracataca feel the famous author abandoned them and are in fact quite hostile about the entire situation.

I will acquiesce to your greater knowledge of testicles.
