Yeah, and the Dad dies shortly after the mating.
Although at least Mom isn’t trying to eat him during the act.
Same for B, C, J, K, M, P, Q and Z.
And all the other letters too, if you close your eyes while you do it.
TIL that spiders have no leg muscles. Instead, they use hydraulic pressure to move the legs. The legs curl up after the spider dies because there’s no blood pressure anymore.
I remember him…fantastic throwing arm!
I didn’t realize he came in a trade that sent Denny McLain to Washington. A little trivia about the latter…
McLain’s success on the playing field led to endorsement opportunities from the Hammond Organ Company; he also made musical appearances in Las Vegas.[45] He was invited to appear with his musical quartet on The Ed Sullivan Show along with his World Series opponent (and guitarist) Bob Gibson.[46] McLain also made appearances on The Steve Allen Show and The Joey Bishop Show .[47] He also released two albums on Capitol Records, Denny McLain at the Organ (1968) and Denny McLain in Las Vegas (1969).[48]
I remember Rodriguez well, since I grew up a Washington Senators fan. He was part of the infamous trade where the Senators traded away the entire left side of their infield for an over-the-hill, out-of-shape Denny McLain.
A domestic plumbing problem has revealed that a correctly judged manipulation of the bathroom hot tap results in it playing the theme from ‘Jaws’.
Never even thought of those other letters !
Thank you 
Plus the eyes closed trick !
That time depends on the species but none live longer than ~5 years, so I’m not sure where you got 4.5 years of gestation from - could it have been weeks or months?
The one in “My Octopus Teacher” only lived IIRC 2 years, and it was only a matter of months between laying and her dying of starvation.
One deep sea octopus was observed by a team from the Monterey Bay aquarium on successive dives with a rover from May 2007 to September 2011. It had gone by that October. That’s 53 months.

But, yeah, cephalopods are usually a “live fast die young” type of critter.
The argonaut octopus has a detachable “penis.” Wiki
And there’s IFLScience who sees on a much more…“sexy” way.
The #1 overall pick in the history of the United States Football League (USFL) was Dan Marino.
(He didn’t sign. Played for the Miami Dolphins of the NFL instead).
Remember the drought in South Africa? It is over.
The City of Cape Town implemented significant water restrictions in a bid to curb water usage, and succeeded in reducing its daily water usage by more than half to around 500 million litres (130,000,000 US gal) per day, The fall in water usage led the City to postpone its estimate for “Day Zero”, and strong rains starting in June 2018 led to dam levels recovering. In September 2018, with dam levels close to 70 percent, the city began easing water restrictions, indicating that the worst of the water crisis was over. Good rains in 2020 effectively broke the drought and resulting water shortage when dam levels reached 95 percent.
Fantastic job by the City.
My friends who mover here recently from CPT would talk about how they would take a bath from a bucket of water while standing inside the bathtub and then use that water to flush the toilet.
Then I think about us using gallons of water to flush 500ml of urine. : (
That’s very interesting. I stand corrected!
I remember seeing a garden urinal that looked like a big morning glory. It looked like it was painted tin and was shaped like a funnel with the open end enlarged and tipped to one side. I don’t know how far below the ground the ‘stem’ went.
I couldn’t find that online, but here’s a less artistic version.
US toilets these days are designed to use far less water than in the past. I think it’s 1.2 or 1.4 gallons per flush now? So technically gallons, but less than it used to be.
You can also follow the precept of, “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down,” to cut down on water usage.
Pee in the sink (easier if you have a penis). Run the faucet a couple of times for a few seconds and the urine is on its way.
Well, ya see, I lack that particular appurtenance. Also, I’m short.
My brother, who has a holding tank for flushies, had my mother embroider this for him to hang above the toilet. The rule seems to have worked well for him. He also has a urinal in the lower level, in an area too small for even a normal half-bath. When he has a gathering, it’s boys use the urinal and girls follow the rules for the toilet. If you pee in the lake, the fishies are going to be mad at you.
When I did my taxes this year and got to that catchall line for “other income not reported elsewhere”, the instructions actually listed “income from an illegal business” as an example of the type of income you should report there. I don’t recall if that instruction was just from the tax software I was using, or an official instruction from the IRS.
