Get Down Tonight (With An Earthworm)

Bio lab final is in less than 24 hours. Anyone want to know about how cockroaches piss? How about how rats shit? No? Well, I know you want to know about how earthworms get off? STILL NO? Why not? I mean, if I need to know all this for a legitimate biology exam, I would think that this is knowledge that would in some way help me sometime in life. But that's where you are wrong: if this stuff actually mattered, why would it be part of the curriculum of a pre-med class? That would defeat the entire purpose of a shameless weeder classes where the only intent of the designers of the class is to create a very nice bell curve (i.e., normal distribution) of grades, with few As and few Fs, so the med schools know who the really talented students are—no doubt their knowledge of the deviant sexual practices of members of the Annelida phylum will help them diagnose brain tumors in their future, illustrious careers.
