Same with cops —in fact a female patrol officer is far more likely to shoot you.

They’re aware of their lower body strength and compensate with their trigger.

I’d wager a really fat female officer is sort of like Dr. Mengele with a badge.

Wonder how much worthless studies such as this cost us annually? What a total waste of time!

“The females are heavier, and they can’t sprint as fast,”

This is my story and I’m sticking to it.

This reminds me of the saying not to pick a fight with an old man.

So to impress female scorpions, hundreds of male scorpions will all swarm a plump human child, stinging it many times until it is overcome with venom and collapses, so the female may lay her eggs in it.

Then something like this happens:

The Scorpions I was acquainted with carried a big sting, 104 rockets and no one thought about their sex. F-89D

I’ve been married to a female scorpio for 27 years through three pregnancies and I can confirm the article...
