Reproduction is weird, and I don't just mean the first part. Strokes are also weird. Really, everything the human body does is bizarre and largely beyond our understanding. But what isn't?

It's a shame that you also hold the collective garbage dump of humanity at the same time, and it can be very difficult to sort the trash from the truth.
