"That's a Daddy Longlegs"
"Daddy, is that other one a Mummy Longlegs?"
"No, that's also a Daddy Longlegs."

- OGla, on 10/21/2008, -1/+62Bugs are so gay.
- greenfyre, on 10/21/2008, -1/+53Umm, how about the obvious? Males that copulate with damn near anything tend to have more young than those who are more reserved.
- 3gibberish4q57, on 10/21/2008, -6/+51Insect homosexuality is not inborn, it's a choice. These bugs are an abomination before the Lord.
- alexanEmpire, on 10/21/2008, -6/+50I said what what? In the butt!
- BXRWXR, on 10/21/2008, -2/+41Not that there's anything wrong with that.
- 2Deluxe, on 10/21/2008, -0/+35You'd be surprised just how many kids I've had from gay sex.
- fwertz, on 10/21/2008, -4/+38No insects were harmed in the creation of this comment.
- ColorBlind, on 10/21/2008, -1/+33By kids, you mean hemorrhoids...
- hyperionshift, on 10/21/2008, -3/+34Did they also study female bug interactions? ...not that I'd be interested in such things...

- BradOFarrell, on 10/21/2008, -2/+32I'm going to keep having sex with my boyfriend until you kill yourself.
- nmezib, on 10/21/2008, -2/+31Are you serious? please tell me that was sarcasm.
please. - kingmanic, on 10/21/2008, -2/+28Eshestun: If neither of them have an STD, it's unlikely they will spontaneously develop one. Perhaps you need to go back to school for some basic biology?
- Edwaldo, on 10/21/2008, -0/+25I'm still waiting for the church's public denunciation of gay bugs.
- TheMachine1, on 10/21/2008, -2/+26Seeing how the world is massively overpopulated homosexuals evil plot to destroy humanity is failing miserably.
- geodebug, on 10/21/2008, -3/+26Because sometimes you just need to get laid.
- inactive, on 10/21/2008, -1/+23Many bugs have really short lifespans. They gotta get what they can when they can.
- BradOFarrell, on 10/21/2008, -0/+21Clever girl.
- trafficlight, on 10/21/2008, -0/+21I want to see a 5 year old say "There'll be none of that Brokeback Mountain ***** in my yard!"
- ncapone, on 10/21/2008, -4/+24Life finds a way.
- EmoSLWarrior, on 10/21/2008, -0/+19No wonder they call it "buggery"!
- BuddingMonkey, on 10/21/2008, -0/+16troll
- srietscha, on 10/21/2008, -1/+17I'd assume that the only advantage is that they are more articulate, and they have better decorated apartments than the other bugs..
- lisaawesome, on 10/21/2008, -0/+14I spit out my coffee. Bravo.

Women get ***** in the ass too, that isn't strictly a gay thing. - BradOFarrell, on 10/21/2008, -2/+14That's what condoms are for. And also blow jobs. Maybe you need to go back to middle school and learn basic sex ed.
- kingmanic, on 10/21/2008, -2/+14The largest growing segment in the of infection in the US is heterosexual. World wide it's undoubtedly a heterosexual disease. Where did it come from? Hard to say but it's hardly thanks to homosexuals as there were gay people long before there was aids.
- Eshestun, on 10/21/2008, -2/+14These comments are going to turn into a ***** so fast....
Ohp, too late. - CoreyHalliwell, on 10/21/2008, -0/+12Is it really fruitless if its with two gay fruit flies?
- billbugger, on 10/21/2008, -1/+12You want to have sex with gay bugs?
- br0ck, on 10/21/2008, -0/+11"Males that copulate with damn near anything"
Believe it or not, it could actually be the fault of FEMALES that copulate with damn near anything!
Mothers of gay men produced an average of 2.7 babies compared with 2.3 born to mothers of straight men. And maternal aunts of gay men had 2.0 babies compared with 1.5 born to the maternal aunts of straight men. "This is a novel finding," says Simon LeVay, a neuroscientist and commentator on sexuality at Stanford University in California. “We think of it as genes for ‘male homosexuality’, but it might really be genes for sexual attraction to men. These could predispose men towards homosexuality and women towards 'hyper-heterosexuality', causing women to have more sex with men and thus have more offspring." http://cas.bellarmine.edu/tietjen/Human%20Nature%2 ... - spritom, on 10/21/2008, -1/+12Article in a nutshell:
* Some beetles do the male-female bumping of uglies
* Some beetles do the mano-y-mano sex and spooge on each other
* One of these Monica-Lewinski-wanna-be males goes home to his lady beetle without cleaning it off
* Lady beetle gets preggers from the left-over spooge
*crosses off "beetle" as reincarnation wish* - inactive, on 10/21/2008, -2/+12They're doing it for the attention.
- serif69, on 10/21/2008, -6/+16By from gay sex, you mean gay sex with. You god damn pedophile.
- SmackAttack42, on 10/21/2008, -1/+11"misleading" doesn't even begin to describe this title
- BradOFarrell, on 10/21/2008, -4/+13Re: "What evolutionary advantage, if any, might such apparently fruitless activity provide?"
A trait doesn't have to have an evolutionary advantage to exist (eyebrow hair color) nor does negating the ability to reproduce (genetic likelihood of deformities, genetic likelihood of infertility, etc) always weed a trait out of the gene pool, since it doesn't have to affect 100% of it's carriers. Some traits are just anomalies that come from other positive traits conflicting (for example, there's a theory that a womb builds up antibodies to testosterone, resulting in increased likelihood of homosexuality with each consecutive birth) it's also possible that it's just a likely genetic mutation (like downs syndrome).
But this article's hypothesis is that trait of homosexuality must have some evolutionary advantage, but that's not how all traits work. There are a lot of traits that exist despite a lack of evolutionary advantage. At least, that's how this article reads, the actual study might not be as half-baked. - graphictruth, on 10/21/2008, -0/+9Ok, here's a clue for you. There is a fact in hand. It is a documented fact. Bugs - for reasons that we currently cannot agree upon - are having hot gay sex. This drives you *****.
Bugs having hot gay sex does not fit comfortably with either current evolutionary theory or what is charitably referred to as "intelligent design."
But the real lesson here is not what the facts really mean - it's how various sorts of people deal with those facts, in order to preserve their world-view.
Scientists are not less prone to preferring their theory over the facts, but they, at least, are aware that trying to attack the facts themselves leads to legitimate public mockery.
Folks like you, on the other hand, start bitching about how the facts are a satanic conspiracy to undermine your "christian" faith. That provokes even Christians who nonetheless think facts INFORM faith toward critical rebuke.
For those with no investment at all in claiming a brand name to stick on their SUV, your behavior provokes outright hilarity. - graphictruth, on 10/21/2008, -0/+9Evolutionary benefit of smoking? Tobacco contains psychoactive agents that act to reduce stress. So, rather than choking some fool to death, I go light up a cigarette. Therefore, I don't go to jail, and said damn fool gets to pass on his genes...
Damn.
Well, at least it works for MY genes.
BTW, evolutionary advantage does not mean individual advantage. Please contemplate the evolutionary advantage of abortion - pre or post birth - re figures such as Pinochet, Stalin and Bush. - Mujokan, on 10/21/2008, -0/+9Is complete ignorance of evolution a prerequisite for denying it, or just a big advantage? I ask because I don't think I've ever come across anyone on the internet who denied evolution and had the slightest knowledge of it. Has anyone ever had an argument about evolution on the boards that's risen above the level of "please go and read a first-year biology textbook?"
- michrech, on 10/21/2008, -0/+9Why the hell am I geting dugg down? It is rather well documented that both the Greeks and Romans (among others) were engaging in homosexual activities LONG before our current civilization came to be.
Some people and their children... - banderwocky, on 10/21/2008, -1/+10It's the Hollywood gay agenda gaying up the bugs!
- TheMachine1, on 10/21/2008, -0/+8Evolution just needs you to get old enough to have kids and get your kids old enough to take care of themselves. After that your just wasting space. So cigarettes and suicide are effective ways to get you to stop wasting that space. Evolution needs most people to died before they have kids to promote change. So a high death rate from all causes is useful.
- djmccormick, on 10/21/2008, -1/+9Most of the things you mentioned are products of our society and have little-to-nothing to do with evolution.
Read a book. - michrech, on 10/21/2008, -3/+11Just ask the Greeks...
...or the Romans...
..or.... - merreborn, on 10/21/2008, -0/+8Well, that's going to win fundies over for sure.
"Homosexuality is sin!"
"Flour beetles do it"
"Oh, well, if flour beetles do it..." - KORGOTH, on 10/21/2008, -2/+10Feels good man.
- nmezib, on 10/21/2008, -5/+13"what evolutionary advantage, if any, might such apparently fruitless activity provide?"
Apparently fruitless? sounds pretty fruity to me :D - ApokalypseNow, on 10/21/2008, -0/+8No, our ancestors were ***** erectus, Australopithecus robustus, Australopithecus afarensis, and the like - not trolls.
