SPERM

[margot]

How do sperm move??

Are they like at least a little alive or something like this?

Isn't it gross when you drink them because then there's like a billion little sperms in your mouth??

[thebornotaku]

1. they have tails, and they wriggle them.

2. yeah, they're alive.

3. men only prodouce somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 million a day.

[Pamuya]

duh they move, how the else do they get to the fuckin eggs.

[margot]

what? They're not alive. oO;

I know they move by wiggling their tails or whatever but how do they know to do that?

Don't they cover these kinds of things in sex-ed or Biology?

She's asking how they move.

like, what makes the tails move.

I can't remember exactly how flagella operate, but I'm pretty sure it involves some sort of chemical process.

[thebornotaku]

they just know how to do it, kind of like how humans know to use thier hands, because nobody teaches us that.

[margot]

sperm are flagella?

[thebornotaku]

sperm are flagella?

no, they have flagella.

[Belial]

They're just a head, that contains all of the genetic material, and a flegella.

[margot]

oh holy crap, they're just CELLS.

okay, woo that straightens it out.

Might I suggest a biology class. I think everyone should take a Chem, Bio, and Physics class in High School just so they can have a basic understanding of the way the Universe operates.

[margot]

hahah no I took biology freshman year it's just all kind of lost. I'll probably take AP biology later next year or something.

[Mithrandir]

I still thing AP Bio would be a bad idea.. it's one of those classes that takes up like all of of your time outside of school.

Of course that's only if you study for it :D;;
