I’d bet they probably have a hormonal trigger to gorge themselves after mating,

And.... that's why you better bring a damn insect.

“I do not believe size has anything to do with intelligence. One of the most intelligent life forms is the virus.”

How do you define intelligence? I guess that’s the question to ask.

In my younger dating days the first date would usually
involve dinner. Before the date I would arrange for a
flower shop to deliver a bouquet of roses to the
restaurant and for the waitress to bring them to our
table. I wonder if it was the food or the flowers that
kept me alive all these years.

“Guys better buy those little $40 packets of chocolate-wrapped strawberries our talk show shills are selling”

Now I’m confused. Are talking about guy guys or guy spiders buying $40 packets of chocolate-wrapper strawberries?

Nature/animals are funny. When my older “girl” dog had her one and only heat cycle (before we had her spayed) she obviously attracted some male attention.

One nice looking labrador retriever went the extra mile. He raided what must have been every garbage can in the vicinity and left a pile of bones, scraps, corncobs, etc...in the yard...it was a LARGE pile of items that apparently are useful to dogs:) Quite the potential provider!

Thank goodness male human are -completely- safe from the depredations of the female of our species.

The difference is that if we forget the gift, we don't get eaten.....
