Funniest Paragraph of the Year
January 12, 2010
This is definitely the funniest paragraph I’ve read all year, from Emily Laut at ScienceNOW Daily News:
When it came to insect penises, Charles Darwin had it right. The famed naturalist suspected that insect genitalia, which are frequently festooned with bizarre combinations of hooks, spines, and knobs, essentially functioned like peacock tails. That is, they helped males beat out their rivals for females. Now, researchers have confirmed this hypothesis by zapping fly penises with a laser.
