    "Mole rats are eusocial, which means they live in colonies like ants or bees. They are the only mammal that does. When a new animal becomes the queen, her vertebrae separate until she is the longest in her group. They are the only species on Earth that changes size based on social hierarchy. And they’re nearly blind, nearly cold-blooded, and run just as fast backward as forward, so they switch directions frequently as they travel their underground catacombs, and look totally drunk."

    They still look like penises with teeth. Not the most envious trait a super hero could have.

    You know, by now there have to be at least a dozen people out there who have the phrase "Naked Mole Rat Research" on their resume. Maybe even their business cards.

    Can we get rid of dudespamsalot down there?

    Horror movie sex always gives me the willies, but Deadgirl was the most recent omgwtfbbq horror sex I have seen. I try to block most of it out if I happen to watch it, like zombie sex, or people who are fallin apart with their skin peeling off or something *shudder* ugh. #horror
