Smaller & Smaller Eats ....or...Turkey Crap

Wired Science has a great article (surprise!). This one's about micro-algae breeding. It's very dense stuff. ...the algae.

Contrast with this article. I saw a Dirty Jobs episode where they were manually inseminating the turkeys because they are too big to have traditional turkey sex (The turkeys, not the guys inseminating the turkeys. The damned guys wouldn't stop! ...YES! it was turkey semen and it's also disgusting that you would think to ask!).

That was a hilarious episode of Dirty Jobs. It turns out a turkey's reproductive organs are right beside their waste dispensary. They (the turkeys) have a very common defense mechanism: They shoot crap when grabbed by the legs and turned upside down to have semen squirted into them with a plunger. Go figure, it's not just the horses that hate it! Then again, the horses might be complaining about the use of turkey semen. We'll have to have the lab look into that.
