Performing fleas

Hi there! Wonderful to see you. Thanks for clicking by today. Coffee's fresh and the treats are as delightful as always so dig in, eh! When it comes to providing the best virtual treats, there's 'no fleas on us!'. Did I say fleas? Listen to this...

Artist Maria Fernanda Cardoso, already known for her "circus" of performing fleas at Australia's Sydney Festival 10 years ago, has since become a legitimate academic expert on the sex organs of fleas and other insects. 

Maria Fernanda Cardoso is a widely known Columbian artist. She debuted the Museum of Copulatory Organs last year near Sydney, teaching visitors such esoterica as: In many insect species, females are promiscuous; snails are hermaphrodites in which one shoots sperm "darts" that form rigid chastity-belt-like blockages on his mate; and a male flea copulates for eight hours straight (but only mates three times in his life). [Sydney Morning Herald, 4-21-2012] 

Bloody Hell...eight hours straight? That'd have to put a strain on the old flea willy, wouldn't it? No wonder it only 'performs' three times in its lifespan. Has to take it's toll, eh! Needs a long period of recovery time, I suspect.

See ya, eh!
