Moira on the road

A post-it saying “smile!” in front of your desk will make you smile every time that you accidentally lay eyes on it. (and smiling makes you happier!)

Obsessions obsess you only if you are not busy, so get yourself very busy and you will not be obsessed anymore (i.e. change your old obsession with a new obsession, possibly work-related).

Apparently men (because I am sure the majority of these scientists are men) are not satisfied with discussing penis size for humans, and wonder about the penis size of dinosaurs. I can see them giggling while calculating dimensions ("Ah ah ah! Comparatively, mine is bigger!").

Unfortunately, we know almost nothing about the size of other, more intimate dinosaur parts. The ratio of penis length to body size varies so widely among dinosaur relatives that it's hard to make a solid guess about a dinosaur's endowment. Some ducks, for example, are just a couple of feet long, but have 7-inch penises. On the other hand, crocodiles that grow to 15 feet sport just a 4-inch organ. If you applied those ratios to the 40-foot-long body of a Tyrannosaurus rex, you'd get a penis of anywhere between 10 inches and 12 feet.

And if you have ever wondered what's the best position for sex, know that dinosaurs had the same problem many many years ago.

Paleontologists have spent a lot of time musing about dinosaur sex positions, and they can't agree on very much. For example, even though sex for large, long-necked dinosaurs probably looked something like giraffe mating, there's a dispute as to what the male did with its head. Some researchers believe he couldn't have maintained adequate blood supply to the brain with it so high off the ground, so he must have gotten into some kind of high-pelvis, low-neck position. Others believe he could have held his head up high and proud during his few moments of glory.
