Strange Creatures
Everyone has a vision of what creatures from another planet may look
like, but Earth is home to several species of land and sea animals that
must be seen to be believed.
Take a look at these guys.

Gold pooping Bacteria
Oh crap, gold in, gold out. Got to have some gold chloride to start with. Then the bacteria can process it and turn it into pure gold.
When they find one that can turn waste into gold give me a call.

Orb spiders are weird
The male has 2 penises and the female has 2 openings for impregnation. The male detaches its penis after insertion in the female and this allows it to fight off other suitors better. Even after this act of valor the male orb spider is lucky to avoid being eaten by his selected mate. What price love? Meanwhile the orifice of the female is blocked to other males.
Explore the wacky world of weird wildlife willies. Here's an example to whet your appetite.

Argentine blue-bill lake duck
The
Argentine lake duck has something to quack about. Its penis is a
whopping 17 inches long, proportionally the longest of all vertebrates.
It's especially impressive among birds: Most male birds don't have
penises, and instead mate by briefly touching genital openings with
females. The Argentine lake duck has a corkscrew-shaped appendage, which
mirrors the female’s oppositely corkscrewed vagina. They really do get screwed! No one knows why
this duck evolved a gigantic member, but some researchers have
speculated that the giant penis may be an example of "runaway" sexual
selection, where female preference drives male anatomy to extremes, as
in the peacock's tail.

Enjoy Yourself
Enjoy yourself it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by, as quickly as a wink.
Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think.
You work and work
For years and years
You're always on the go.
You never take a minute off,
Too busy making dough.
Someday, you say, you'll have your fun
When you're a millioniare.
Imagine all the fun you'll have
In some old rocking-chair.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by, as quickly as a wink.
Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.
You're gonna take that ocean trip
No matter come what may.
You got your reservations
But you just can't get away.
Next year, for sure, you'll see the world,
You'll really get around;
But how far can you travel
When you're six feet underground?
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by, as quickly a as wink.
Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.
Get out and see the world...
You worry when the weather's cold,
You worry when it's hot.
You worry when you're doing well,
You worry when you're doing not.
It's worry, worry all of the time,
You don't know how to laugh.
They'll think of something funny
When they write your epitaph.
