villaajax Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Not quite true. I think the only bird with a penis is the Swan. Which is coincidental because it's the only bird who's male isn't called a cock. My sister claims to have once seen a duck's penis, she said it looked like a little red corkscrew :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted March 20, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2012 Fan death is a widely held belief in South Korea that an electric fan left running overnight in a closed room can cause the death of those inside. Fans sold in Korea are equipped with a timer switch that turns them off after a set number of minutes, which users are frequently urged to set when going to sleep with a fan on. The Korea Consumer Protection Board (KCPB), a South Korean government-funded public agency, issued a consumer safety alert in 2006 warning that "asphyxiation from electric fans and air conditioners" was among South Korea's five most common seasonal summer accidents or injuries, according to data they collected. The KCPB published the following: If bodies are exposed to electric fans or air conditioners for too long, it causes [the] bodies to lose water and [causes] hypothermia. If directly in contact with [air current from] a fan, this could lead to death from [an] increase of carbon dioxide saturation concentration [sic] and decrease of oxygen concentration. The risks are higher for the elderly and patients with respiratory problems. From 2003 [to] 2005, a total of 20 cases were reported through the CISS involving asphyxiations caused by leaving electric fans and air conditioners on while sleeping. To prevent asphyxiation, timers should be set, wind direction should be rotated and doors should be left open. Despite widespread reporting from the media and other agencies in South Korea about fan death, it has never been explained by these organizations why this phenomenon has never been reported or even heard of in any country other than South Korea.Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irreverentad Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I heard a few odd ones last week: A cockroach can live several weeks with its head cut off - it dies from starvation!

I have not seen a pig's penis, however I did read it once in a little book about penises owned by a gay acquaintance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just how many penises does he own? And where does he get them?!Har har. Just to be absolutely clear, he owned the book, not the penises. And probably best not to make some sort of joke about how many penises he might have had. That would be tasteless.

Chindie Posted March 20, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2012 Mentioning pig penises, they ejaculate a sort of sealant when they've done their business in an attempt to prevent any other males impregnating their female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
