The world is NUTS!

Those are funny "factoids," but are they Snopes-checked?
I am anal enough to ask the question, but too lazy to look them up. ;-)
Actually I think I may have heard that turtle stuff before. Maybe certain species of turtles, or something like that.

"Turtles have extraordinary anaerobic capacity--they have survived up to 33 hours in a pure nitrogen atmosphere. (Most reptiles have a high anaerobic capacity compared to mammals, but even they can't survive much more than 30 minutes without oxygen.) Although basically air-breathing, many aquatic species have developed ways to pick up oxygen even when submerged. Of these the most remarkable, which some turtles share with dragonfly nymphs, sea cucumbers, and certain televangelists, is the ability to breathe through one's butt. You've heard the expression ?Blow it out your after regions?? It's no mere figure of speech. Many species have a pair of sacs (bursae) opening off the cloaca (combined digestive and urogenital chamber). These are heavily vascularized to facilitate the uptake of oxygen.

Hmmm, :scratch: Blow it out after your regions. I likey. I think I'll use it.
What do you think Count Colifecal? ( Just met him on the real estate thread Picking Up) :funn:

This reminds me of another fav word...nether regions. Is that a word, or did I just make it up?

 

[DD]

I've always heard that too...googled it.....oh yeah, it's a real word...

Located beneath or below; lower or under: the nether regions of the earth

And, then there's the urban dictionary definition.....go there only if you must!

OK, we'll change it to blow it your nether regions and go there only if you must. Bless your heart.
