Numbers: Sex

Things you'll learn by reading Discover Magazine (Science, Technology, and the Future):

8:1 Ratio of the length of a barnacle's penis to the rest of its body, making it proportionally the largest phallus in the animal kingdom. Among vertebrates the Argentine lake duck is the leader, with a penis that can exceed the length of the bird's 16-inch body.

Ugh, I just searched "Argentine lake duck" on google and the images are not pleasant.

National Geographic Photos

I am a huge fan of National Geographic and Traveler magazine. Each edition features amazing photographs and compelling articles. The articles I read in Traveler are as close as I'll get to a lot of places in this world.

Make sure to visit their Photography section. Great inspiration and desktop wallpapers.

The following is a photograph from National Geographic Paris Catacombs. Under Paris lies a secret artistic culture and huge cemetery of lost remains.

Behind the neat stacks of skulls, tibias, and femurs in the Paris catacombs lies a chaos of bones. In the 18th and 19th centuries the city dug up millions of skeletons from over-flowing cemeteries and poured them at night into old quarries.
