Sexuality in ancient Egypt was open, untainted by guilt. Sex was an important part of life - from birth to death and rebirth. Singles and married couples made love. The gods themselves were earthy enough to copulate. The Egyptians even believed in sex in the afterlife. Sex was not taboo... Even the Egyptian religion was filled with tales of adultery, incest, homosexuality and masturbation... with hints of necrophillia! Masculinity and femininity itself were strongly linked with the ability to conceive and bear children...http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee101/panicstream/smilies/Babycha.gif

Earth was originally born as a twin to the planet Theia, which was about half as wide as Earth and roughly the size of Mars.

The mass donated by Theia gave Earth the gravity necessary to sustain a substantial atmosphere

They're related to the Sea Otter, Ermine, Raccoons, Mongoose, and at one time even the Skunk...although the Skunk is Musteloid, it's a different Family altogether.[At the moment, they're studying to see if the red Panda is also related]

They do eat rodents though {like prairie dogs, rats, mice, occasionally guinea Pigs if the Person has a tough stomach, and Rabbits....occasional reptiles, bugs}, but, it has to start at a very Early age..or you'll get a rather Stubborn Ferret who'll sniff the meat, and walk away {they won't give squirts of piss how Expensive, or how much effort u made}.
Once they are taught this, you'd have to lack some serious I.Q. points if you plan on letting them play with your adorable pet Guinea Pig or Parakeet.They are by nature, Predators.
They "Imprint" their food when young, which is to say if they have been eating Kibble of a certain Brand growing up, you're gonna have a Battle for awhile switching their Food.

Good because if you let them Roam, they won't eat anything and everything they encounter {like dogs....and hamsters}, their curiosity will get them into the occasional troubles, but, if it doesnt taste like familiar Food, they'll stop nibbling and/or barf it, then walk away.
Bad? Yep, bad, because if their "favorite" Brand isn't really good for them, or the company goes bankrupt and stops production...You're stuck with trying to convince the fuzzbutt "this is food"...Some can adapt quickly....Some {like mine, grr} need Bribes and a Clue, plenty.
which is why it's always good to mix 2 different types of Good food.

They're notorious for 2 things.. Curiosity...and petty Theft.
Their curiosity will have them go where no One has gone before {star trek pun..oh so true.}, and investigate things No one should try.
Some ferrets, despite their lovable features, in all honesty, they can be incredibly stupid.
Those are a minority.
That naive, innocent , cute, adorable blank stare..almost always is a disguise.
Watch 'em, if you got 'em, stay out of sight..
Take off your socks u wore all day, bunch 'em in a ball, leave your keys on the ground...put an open bag of chips on your bed [ be ready to snatch it away though...chips = bad food ]....
You'll see something that would rival disneys "g-force" ...
They dont have that popular mask for nuttin'..
They're tenacious, and they'll figure a way to get those Chips..
They'll drag your keys to their "hide-out"...your socks too, and if the Ferret's a big, fat boy, he'll try to drag your leather boots too...
You *do* have to watch them a lot, like Chihuahuas, they really don't Grasp "Size", they'll brazenly pick a fight with a Bullmastiff....or a corgi, or a Cat...

They get bored fast, they're the textbook example of ADHD..they'll be playing, running, hopping, and in a blink of an eye go somewhere else cuz something Shiny...or Crinkly grabbed their attention...
Rotating toys works wonders{saves money too}..
Once a soft toy looks chewed to shit, get rid of it..{intestinal Blockage risk}

They don't cough up hairballs..
Don't let your Cat blame his slimy hairballs on the ferret.
They're highly susceptible to Heat Stroke, anything above 79 F is a risk for them, they don't sweat.
Which is why they're usually happy in cool/chilly weather{and fluffy}.

They're litterbox trainable, for the most part.
They're like Cats, Obligate Carnivores.
Which means their digestion works for meat only, or meat-based foods..Veggies, fruits, dairy and a few fishies, make for nasty-ass farts/poop.

Last but not least, like any animal, if u can't afford an emergency vet bill, don't get one.
Ferret vet bills can cause u to feel a heart attack approaching...thankfully some Vets negotiate payment plans.
Almost all Ferrets sold or adopted are readily Neutered, spayed /Descented..
They have to.
It's not an option, unless you plan on Breeding ASAP.
Jills that are not spayed risk Aplastic Anemia and Death, once they start Estrus they stay that way until Pregnant.
Hobs that are whole, become Intensely violent if a Female is in Estrus and nearby, and if another Male...neutered or not is in his Territory, he's capable of killing the other Hob {sometimes the Jill too.}
That and when a Hob is "horny" his hormones really show...
His fur becomes slick with Oil substance, rendering him a strange Orange/dirty look.
The more u wash, the more it gets Orange.
which is why ...fixed or not...the less u bathe a Ferret, the Better[unless U really have to].

Oh wait...
Catnip can kill them.

True Hermaphrodite:
Exceedingly Rare in Humans...
However, slugs, snails, fish, earthworms may posses both and each act as the opposite for reproduction..
In humans, almost in every case, they're sterile..
Recently, the word "intersex" has come into preferred usage for humans, since the word "hermaphrodite" is considered to be misleading, insulting and stigmatizing

Chimeras:
Imagine a mother denied custody of her children because her DNA points to her not being their mom. Or another mother who cannot get a kidney transplant from her son because they do not share enough DNA.

A human chimera is made up of two sets of cells with DNA as different as any two siblings’ DNA. This is because a chimera is the result of fraternal twins fusing together at a very early stage in development.

A DNA test is usually done by taking some blood or cheek cells and looking at the DNA. This is fine if the person has the same DNA in every cell (which is usually the case). But a chimera can run into problems.

Because different body cells will have different DNA, it is possible that a DNA test can give incorrect results for a chimera.

Example:
Imagine that a woman has one set of DNA in her cheek or kidney cells and a different set in her eggs.
Now she has a DNA test done on her children and one done on her kidney or cheek cells. When the results are compared, she looks like the children’s aunt instead of their mother. This is what happened in the custody and kidney transplant cases.

The children looked like nephews or nieces with one set of cells. And like sons and daughters with the other set of cells.

Sexuality in ancient Egypt was open, untainted by guilt. Sex was an important part of life - from birth to death and rebirth. Singles and married couples made love. The gods themselves were earthy enough to copulate. The Egyptians even believed in sex in the afterlife. Sex was not taboo... Even the Egyptian religion was filled with tales of adultery, incest, homosexuality and masturbation... with hints of necrophillia! Masculinity and femininity itself were strongly linked with the ability to conceive and bear children...http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee101/panicstream/smilies/Babycha.gif

Beavers (the furry animals) eat wood pulp. But, their bodies cannot get the nutrients from it when they first eat it - so - they eat it again after they pooh it out. Somehow they know the difference because as soon as they pooh it out the second time they immediately use it to plug holes in the dam. Beavers are also little clean freaks and spend most of the their time in their den cleaning their den and themselves. They are also very family orientated and will welcome family members back into the den even if they come back a mate.

I once watched a discovery channel docu where they showed a fox pick up a stick and take it in the water. The fox swam around and around carrying the stick. Slowly the fox went further and further under the water. It let go of the stick and sunk just enough so that only the tip of her nose was pushing the stick around. Then it pushed the stick away and swam back to the shore. It took the scientists a little while to figure out that the fox had fleas and as she swam around they were forced to move to higher ground - on her head and eventually her nose and finally onto the stick. I thought that was sooooo cool!!!!!!!

During the late 1800s, postage rates around the world dropped, and the obscene St. Valentine's Day card became popular, despite the Victorian era being otherwise very prudish. As the numbers of racy valentines grew, several countries banned the practice of exchanging Valentine's Days cards. During this period, Chicago's post office rejected more than 25,000 cards on the grounds that they were so indecent, they were not fit to be carried through the U.S. mail

The words, "Mardi Gras", is in the French language. Broken down, the words are, "Mardi", French for "Tuesday". "Gras", in French (http://www.chiff.com/education/french.htm), means "Fat". In translating French to English, the last word spoken should be, (more or less) the first word translated. Therefore following this loose rule, the translation comes to mean, "Fat Tuesday".

Besides humans, pigs and dolphins are the only other creatures to have sex for pleasure. It's discussed that one or two species of primates also do so, but that's still under study.

On the planet of seven billion people- the population we'll reach in 2011.
Who is the most typical human?

Cotton, rags and paper take 6 months to break down.

If you chopped down a 15 yrs old tree and used it to make paper grocery bags, wou'd wind up with about 700. That's roughly the number of bags your local supermarket goes through in a hour.

Sexual social behavior
Sexual intercourse plays a major role in Bonobo society observed in captivity, being used as what some scientists perceive as a greeting, a means of conflict resolution, and post-conflict reconciliation. Bonobos are the only non-human animal to have been observed engaging in all of the following sexual activities: face-to-face genital sex, tongue kissing, and oral sex[34] (although a pair of Western Gorillas has been photographed performing face to face genital sex[35]). In scientific literature, the female-female behavior of touching genitals together is often referred to as GG rubbing or genital-genital rubbing. The sexual activity happens within the immediate family as well as outside it. Bonobos do not form permanent relationships with individual partners. They also do not seem to discriminate in their sexual behavior by sex or age, with the possible exception of abstaining from sexual intercourse between mothers and their adult sons; some observers believe these pairings are taboo. When Bonobos come upon a new food source or feeding ground, the increased excitement will usually lead to communal sexual activity, presumably decreasing tension and encouraging peaceful feeding.[36]
Bonobo males occasionally engage in various forms of male-male genital behavior.[37][38] In one form, two males hang from a tree limb face-to-face while "penis fencing".[39][40] This also may occur when two males rub their penises together while in face-to-face position. Another form of genital interaction, called "rump rubbing", occurs to express reconciliation between two males after a conflict, when they stand back-to-back and rub their scrotal sacs together. Takayoshi Kano observed similar practices among Bonobos in the natural habitat.
Bonobo females also engage in female-female genital behavior, possibly to bond socially with each other, thus forming a female nucleus of Bonobo society. The bonding among females enables them to dominate Bonobo society. Although male Bonobos are individually stronger, they cannot stand alone against a united group of females.[40] Adolescent females often leave their native community to join another community. Sexual bonding with other females establishes these new females as members of the group. This migration mixes the Bonobo gene pools, providing genetic diversity.
Bonobo reproductive rates are not any higher than that of the Common Chimpanzee.[36] Female Bonobos carry and nurse their young for five years and can give birth every five to six years. Compared to Common Chimpanzees, Bonobo females resume the genital swelling cycle much sooner after giving birth, enabling them to rejoin the sexual activities of their society. Also, Bonobo females who are sterile or too young to reproduce still engage in sexual activity.

Father's Day was founded in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonora_Smart_Dodd), born in Arkansas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkansas) from Spokane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spokane), who was also the driving force behind its establishment.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father's_Day#cite_note-leigh_276-2) Its first celebration was in Spokane, Washington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spokane,_Washington) on June 19, 1910.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father's_Day#cite_note-leigh_276-2)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father's_Day#cite_note-Father.27s_Day_United_States-3) Her father, the Civil War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War) veteran William Jackson Smart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Jackson_Smart), was a single parent who reared his six children in Spokane, Washington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spokane,_Washington).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father's_Day#cite_note-leigh_276-2) After hearing a sermon about Jarvis' Mother's Day in 1909, she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honoring them.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father's_Day#cite_note-leigh_276-2) Although she initially suggested June 5, her father's birthday, the pastors hadn't enough time to prepare their sermons, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father's_Day#cite_note-myers_185-0)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father's_Day#cite_note-larossa_first-1)
