| Did you know that ducks r*pe each other? Or rather the males r*pe the females with their corkscrew shaped c*cks. The females have corkscrew v*gin*s that go in the opposite direction so the two screw together. They know they're met their match when the two screw into one another perfectly. Most don't fit, but the males are very highly s*xed so they force it in, against the grain as it were.
I was being woken at ungodly hours by a noise last year and discovered it was a duck. The animal people who came to take it away said he had been ostracized by his peers and become separated from the rest, most likely because of his small p*nis and gentle nature.
At that point I felt so sorry for him, I said they could leave him, tell me what they can eat and I'd feed him myself so he could live a life of peace, but they took him away anyway. |

| Lmao, firstly: Yes they're vicious things; most of the males anyway; not sure what the hell happened in their evolutionary cycle that turned them into such r*pey freaks. I once had to protect a female duck from a group of violent males that were attacking her at my local park once. |

| "Miss Malvina Longfellow writes - The travelling, concentration, and intensity, of characterisation demanded by Film, Drama and Comedy, are a very severe tax upon one’s stock of nervous vitality, and in my own case, I find Phosferine enables me to recover nerve force and energy in a very short time. It is accurate to say Phosferine is a reliable safeguard against that jaded appearance and condition which follows prolonged professional exertions..."

| There is absolutely nothing here that could be classed as even vaguely normal or in the realm of desirable.

Poor Zsa Zsa. No matter how eccentric you are, nobody deserves to fall into the clutches of someone like that. |

| Chinese Labour Corps.
During WWI, over 140,000 Chinese, 100,000 Egyptians and several hundred thousand others were imported into Europe by Britain and France, and promptly deported when they'd done their bit.

Totally new information to me. |

| The spy who discovered that semen made the ideal invisible ink was called Sir Mansfield Smith Cumming. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansfield_Smith-Cumming When SSB discovered that semen made a good invisible ink, his agents adopted the motto "Every man his own stylo". However, the use of semen as invisible ink was ceased because of the smell it produced for the eventual receiver. It also raised questions over the masturbatory habits of the agents.[5][9]

| Fascinating and horrifying. The contracts to generate revenue and dividends by never letting the prison population fall below 90% occupancy (and lobby lawmakers to recategorize even more offences as worthy of incarceration, to increase profits further, even to the level of dangerous overcrowding) are an especially nasty detail. They are operating here as well as the USA.
I know from some of my own work that our own **** ****** and the *** were issuing guidelines and targets (and crosschecking, which is legally dubious) to crack down heavily on tenuous but technically accurately classified 'benefit fraud' by going after easy cases like rehoused battered women, receiving council tax single occupancy discounts while 'letting' their abusers come and go, therefore negating the right to the reduction.
