Meanwhile, chew on this......

Earthworms are hermaphroditic meaning each worm has organs of both sexes.
Some species also appear to be able to self-fertilize.

The Barn Owl has one ear set higher than the other and has the most acute locational hearing yet measured in any animal.

A kiss stimulates 29 muscles........ and chemicals causing relaxation.
Women seem to like it light and frequent, men like it more strenuous.

The chemical makeup of tears of joy is different than that of tears of sadness.

absofuckinlutely!

The unit of ash is the amount that falls off due to its own weight*, from a well-rolled, two-paper**, seedless stemless*** "bomber", when toked down to the half-way point. The joint must be clipped, and at no point should it have been bogarted.

The unit of ash is called a humph, and is metric: 100 humphs make a bogie.

*technically, this should be measured in Acapulco, at standard temperature and pressure (STP), with adequate protection from any air currents.
**ZigZag.
***Marin County Blue is preferred for its uniform texture.
