For Valentine’s Day, I give you parasitic Schistosoma mansoni worms, which mate for life. Much more monogamous than the humans they invade, the female Schitosoma mansoni actually resides within the male worm, in a groove on the side of his body.
You may have seen this groove featured on MTV Cribs, which is a really stupid show on a really stupid network.
The worms’ love for one another is not all rainbows and unicorns, however. Their eggs actually cause disease in humans, most commonly schistosomiasis. Symptoms of the disease include fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and genital sores. It’s easily treatable, but still really gross.
Remember, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

“Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. Don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.”
So said Kurt Vonnegut. I would add to this by saying with a little practice, alone or together, you can also make it cum so fucking hard. Your toes will curl, your hips will buck, beads of sweat will spring out all over your tits, only to be smeared by his chest as he rams into you.
Bodies are, indeed, very good things.
Politicians, paparazzi, reality tv stars, “social media experts”…
There are indeed whores in this world. However, it has nothing to do with sexual activity…

Charles Fort on Darwinism:
“The fittest survive. What is meant by the fittest? Not the strongest, not the cleverest—weakness and stupidity everywhere survive. There is no way of determining fitness except in that a thing does survive. ‘Fitness’, then, is only another name for ‘survival’. Darwinism: That survivors survive.”
The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light years away. It is also known as M31 and NGC 224, two names inspired by license plates. In older texts, it is often referred to as the Andromeda Nebula, but the people who wrote those texts were nuts and supported racial segregation. Don’t listen to them.
The galaxy gets its name from the chunk of sky it’s located in, the Andromeda Constellation, which in turn is named after the Greek princess Andromeda. The princess’s mother was Cassiopeia and she thought a lot of herself and her daughter. In fact, she boasted that she and her daughter Andromeda were both more beautiful than the Nereids, sea nymphs and daughters of the god Nereus. This boast was patently ridiculous because everyone and their dog knows that nothing is more beautiful than the Nereids, sea nymphs and daughters of the god Nereus.
I mean, come on.
The Andromeda Galaxy has an ‘apparent magnitude of 3.4,’ which is completely meaningless to me, but I guess has something to do with being pretty bright or something. You can see it with the naked eye on moonless nights in areas with low to moderate light pollution.
‘Light pollution’, by the way, is one of my favorite phrases.
Today, the Andromeda Galaxy is best known as the place where Lady Gaga grew up.
