I was thinking the same thing as **Ferret Herder** , but I still laughed at **Turek’s** post! And yeah, I would have liked some more CSI lab work, but what can you do? ---

In an odd coincidence, I ran across [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=2867701&postcount=10) when randomly surfing through “gross story” threads earlier. (Oh what, like you never get bored on a Saturday afternoon?) Perhaps this sort of thing is more common than you would think. It is definitely more common than _I_ would think. ---

It has so many uses. “Don’t date him, he’s a slithering crotch terror.” “I just released the largest slithering crotch terror in the bathroom.” ---

Actual sleeping and napping birds wake up pretty easy. They often open one eye and try to decide if they really want to keep napping, and would object to being touched. Rest easy. ---

Oh… You know it was only AFTER seeing the pics that I realised Mrs. Cinnamon wasn’t sticking homemade bombs up her vag. I was wondering how effective bombs would be against some dude … Oh no wait… Yeah ok it would be very effective. I reckon the first pic was the grossest, what was that yellow stuff? please don’t tell me it was sperm or something… (Retches) man it looked like jelly or something but the (blood clot)? I think it was a blood clot … made it kind of look like it had a head… and the head had a brain. filled with gooey Jell O. OKkkkk thats enough crazy talk from me. If you managed to read to here… Congratulations, message me your address and credit card details and social security number and all your passwords for everything and i will hook you up with a cookie for 5cents. Also I know this real cool nigerian dude whos like a prince and stuff, he can hook you up with like 2 million bucks for 5 minutes of your time. ---

> [@Unauthorized\_Cinnamon](#): > > Henceforth I shall refer to my lady parts as “the hurt locker.” > > You have to admit, though, that would be highly effective birth control. > > **lisalan** , I’m not talking about, “My, that was a big clot - and what’s this inside it?” This is a discrete, yellowish pod encasing most of the device, roughly the texture of very firm Jell-O. You truly would expect the IUD to suddenly twitch and whisper urgently, “Please kill me!” There is no way I can explain any of the several reasons why I’m laughing, to the people in my office.
