You'll Never Look At The Ocean The Same Way

Another useless fun fact (or lie...)

The average blue whale produces over 400 gallons of sperm when it

ejaculates, but only 10% of that actually makes it into his mate. So 360

gallons are spilled into the ocean every time one unloads, and you wonder

why the ocean is so salty ...

... don't swallow the water.

And people talk about pissing in a swimming pool...

Yuck.

Good thing I haven't swam in public waters (public swimming pool, ocean, lake or otherwise) in over 7 years. Water pisses me off.

The japanese are right, we have to kill them all.

But, the ocean is vast, and 360 gallons (Or perhaps 360 million gallons) of whale spunk in the ocean would probably be as bad as a trace amount of semen in a pool.

Still, it is quite disturbing. And I'm quite amazed at the whale's ejaculation: 400 gallons, compared to the measly few milliliters a human ejaculates. if some guy had an ejaculation that big, he'd probably drown masturbating.

As well as having broken legs from super englarged testicles and prostate.

Could be worse..imagine if spunk was fizzy when it was inside you!

You'd be jogging then suddenly "TOO FIZZY!" splurch..no stopping it going everywhere. High pressure jets of the stuff...society would have to be rewritten...

And that's one whale. How many are there in the world?

Thats why we dump toxic waste in the ocean,we have to kill these "little "swimmers.

Yuck! To think that I spent much of my childhood swimming in an ocean that's been generously doused with whale spunk...ewwww! Even worse is that my childhood home in Nova Scotia is near a whale migration route and had whales beach themselves on the coast near my home, I'll have to not think about this too much or risk grossing myself out.

Ok so blue whales spunk more than other creatures, even without them you're still swimming in spunk and shit from everything else.

I'm sure the USN has got some nuclear depth charges stashed away.

Though few hundred gallons of sperm among millions of tons of seawater that while quickly destroy it is not that big a deal.

I'm sure there are public pools just as bad as the ocean. There's one near me that probably has as much urine and fecal matter from all the little kids in it as it does water, for example. They probably clean it by letting it stand still for a while and skimming the distinct layer of urine that seperated off.

Could be worse folks. Just imagine the ammount of shit those whales put out into the water.

Not that it matters anyhow since it would delute down long before it ever got to the beaches. Especially with all those ocean currents mixing things up.

Darth Gojira · Post by **Darth Gojira** » 2003-05-20 01:38pm

Another reason why I'm glad I'm in the Midwest. Lampreys and Whitefish don't produce NEARLY that amount of semen.

400 gallons? thats like a small swimming pool! holy fuck thats a lotta jizz!

Whales do not shit solid at all, Its diluted right when it comes out. How do I know? Marine Science Major plus when I was behind the scenes at Sea World San Diego a 9000 lb killer whale took a giant green runny dump. NEarly pure liquid since whenever they open their mouths underwater the saltwater comes with the food.

Its the ocean's incredible volume that allows for all of the shit, spunk, scum, and dead stuff to simply float away.

OTHER FUN OCEAN FACTS:

Barnacles have a penis 20x larger than their body, giving them the largest penis porportionally

Sea urchins just shoot their sperm and eggs into the water, they then mix and fertilize.

Horseshoe crabs fucking is a very disturbing sight

In the absence of a female, the dominant male clownfish will undergo a hermaphroditic reaction, and become the female. Go watch finding Nemo now and try not to think about THAT!

The dominant one?

Umm, somehow that sounds a little 'backwards"...

Or if he was having sex he'd probably make the woman explode.

I wish I was a barnacle...

And, marine flatworms having sex is pretty bad too. It's more a sword fight using their penises as swords, and the "loser" has to carry the offspring.
