I am a cold blooded killer, dear reader. By which I mean, thanks to double jeopardy I can never be convicted for smashing the stupid-ass fruit fly against my leg just moments ago. I've been tried and acquitted, so it is time for a fun fact. In honor of the deceased bug whose guts still cling to my palm and thigh, it is a fun fact about fruit flies. And their sperm.
Fun fact: Fruit flies have the comparatively longest sperm of any creature.
Before all you men go off and weep about your short little swimmers, you have longer sperm than fruit flies, but compared to their body size, fruit flies are loaded with semen. That's right - they can have sperm 20 times the length of their body. And men, you do not want 120-foot-long sperm. I certainly don't.

It has been a while since I hit you with an animal sex fact, dear reader. But I imagine my coworkers are probably tired of me sharing them at random intervals throughout the day, so now you get a taste. Of the facts. Not the fruit fly sperm. Jeez, you're gross, dear reader. By which I mean I love you. And here is a picture of a fruit fly. And its giant sperm.

Until next time!
