I wonder if anyone has looked at whether or not the moon is mainly made of cheese. Now I’m not saying it’s ALL cheese… But there must be SOME there, right? Just because the moon missions didn’t find any does not mean there is no cheese there at all.
Let’s ask more questions about the cheese in the moon!
Just let me know if this is wrong and I will rethink it. Everything I say is just based on impressions I have that may be wrong.
No, you didn’t. You put forward a preposterous convoluted hypothesis from a position of total ignorance of basic science.
I have a lot of respect for you and your knowledge and I do appreciate your input. But I think you are dead wrong about one thing. Simply asking if something happens to sperm during its storage period that might affect it final journey is not a dumb question.
Moderating:
Don’t junior mod. If you have a concern, flag it and let us deal with it.
This is a personal attack. Knock it off, now. You know better than this.
Well, I think you are just thinking with your testes.
And you can’t be arsed to look for the link in your browser history?
Phrased in this open way, perhaps. But what you said was:
And phrased in this way, it is indeed a dumb question that derives from gross misconceptions that (as has subsequently become clear) originate in your reading of a crank website. If you had CITED YOUR SOURCE we could have dealt with those misconceptions up front.
Some people think the moon is made entirely of cheese and others think there is no cheese there whatsoever. Thus, the safest assumption is that the moon is partially made of cheese. Right?
There is the dark side and the side that is hallouminated.
Congratulations! You’re asking questions, so that means you’re doing science, I imagine.
I hope my cat’s behavior isn’t affecting my DNA. The brain parasites are bad enough!
THIS behavior affects my DNA. (and maybe my sperm, too! 
)
Don’t be complacent. Huntington’s is caused by the expansion of a Short Tandem Repeat with the sequence Cytosine Adenine Guanine (CAG). So Ceiling Cat only knows what havoc could be wrought by the expansion of a Cytosine Adenine Thymine sequence - licking your own butt would be the least of it.
Dammit, I could have sworn I posted that in the “misread thread titles” thread. That’s where I meant to put it.
Probably a cat walked over my keyboard and messed it up.
This is to a degree true for humans as well. It’s a statistically small but significant difference in sex ratio. I just recently heard a podcast about a statistician who noticed that, right around the ends of the first and second world wars, there were spikes in the ratio of male to female babies being born.
It was theorized, and the data bore it out, that something that happens when soldiers return from war is that people have a lot of sex. When there’s a lot of sex happening, pregnancy is more likely to happen during the earlier part of the fertile period (because if it happens earlier, it can’t happen later anymore). And there’s a tendency for the sex ratio of fetuses conceived earlier in the fertile period to skew slightly towards male.
This is an indirect effect of behavior on which sex genes get passed on. But any answer to your question will necessarily be indirect, in a similar way.
Here’s a link to the podcast.
Also, if “spinal” is the word you intended here, then you’ll need to study some basic biology.
Maybe the moon is just one giant space testicle? Did any of you smartasses think about that?
Cat behavior can certainly affect our Document Navigation Ability.
I read it as Cat as well. Damn DNA altering feline overlords.
Who was the Russian guy who thought if you kept amputating frog legs you would wind up with legless baby frogs?
Glad to see you still retain your sense of humor!
