Follow Your Inner Moonlight

Because ducks have been mentioned on my flist no fewer than four times today:
- Waterfowl wage genital warfare: 'Arms race' has resulted in longer phalluses, more elaborate vaginas. (Be warned: There are, in fact, pictures of duck genitalia if you follow that link.)
- Here, have some cuter ducks now.
- And a swanduck, too, because it's pretty.

And because I find everything's sex life fascinating:
- Gay animals out of the closet?: First-ever museum display shows 51 species exhibiting homosexuality.

Two things, both of which bring me great joy:


First, from ariaminerva: SuDocWho. Srsly.


And second, from aheartfulofyou's entry about studying for her psych midterm:

... Adams and colleagues (1996) asked two groups of male heterosexuals to watch videotapes that showed heterosexuals, lesbians,and gays engaging in explicit sex acts. One group of men had scored high on a test of homophobia... the other group scored low. While both groups watched the tapes, the researchers recorded changes in penile circumference as an indication of sexual arousal. All the participants became aroused when they saw the heterosexual and lesbian videos, but only the homophobic males were aroused by the homosexual male videos (Kosslyn Psychology in Context).

I've heard this before -- either I've used/read her psych textbook or one that cited the same study -- but seeing it again made my day. lulz, homophobes. And for the fun of it, because while idiocy is sad, it can also be hilarious, here's an old link: Hate mail sent to gay rights activists.
