Male fruit flies that have been rejected by females drink significantly more alcohol than those that have mated freely, scientists say.


We are nothing more than flies.

If there was a prize for biggest sperm in nature, it would go to Drosophila bifurca, a tiny fruit fly whose coiled sperm would measure more than 2 inches long if straightened out.

That's 1,000 times longer than an average human sperm.

"To put that into perspective, if humans made sperm that long and you took a six-foot man and stood him on the goal line of a football field, his sperm would stretch out to the 40-yard line," said Adam Bjork, a Ph.D. student at Syracuse University in New York.

Along with Syracuse University biologist Scott Pitnick, Bjork examined why any animal, let alone a tiny fruit fly, would evolve such lengthy sperm.

hahaha i just read that same article.

one day i was talking to my brother, who studies biology and organic chemistry, about how it seems like fruit flies just spontaneously form, and he goes "they don't spontaneously form, i've seen them have sex!". it was hilarious.

Gregor Mendel already figured this out many years ago. Old news, open up science books.

I accused him of cheating, he looked me dead in the eye and said "this game is subjective," and then he won.
