that queen bees can get VD?????:eek: and they are sluts....

Seeking extra mates costs a promiscuous queen honeybee energy and time, and it puts her at greater risk of predation and catching venereal diseases. But it doesn't stop her.

For a healthier hive, the queens have sex with multiple males, according to a new study. While one male drone provides all the sperm a queen needs to be fully inseminated, she'll mate with a dozen or more.

So why is this wanton behavior worth the hazards?

"Evidently, one important reason is to generate diverse offspring, something that produces a colony that has higher disease resistance than a colony with offspring from just one father," said Cornell University biologist Thomas Seeley.



yeah so i guess this is a thread for interesting yet fairly useless facts.

There was a time in America when black people owned black slaves.

True story.

A giraffe's tongue is 18 inches long and black so that it doesn't get sunburned. A polar bear's skin is black too.

i think you'll find muscle is more dense than fat, therefor the same volume of muscle will weigh more than the same volume of fat

I agree about the density but weight and density aren't the same thing...I totally see what you're saying but I think that whole phrase is just something fat people say to make themselves feel better when their workout routine is failing them

the idea is that volume for volume muscle weighs more than fat. it's like that trick question which weighs a pound of lead or a pound of feather
