What is it with all the 3 vaginas? What the hell do they do with them?!!!

Apparently the duck will wriggle around depending on whether they like the look of the mate who's climbed on: if they like them they get the aim down the 'good' vagina, and if they don't they wriggle to get the aim down one of the two duds.

But the product of the reaction of chlorine with urine is what makes your eyes sting, afaik.

@GladAllOver @jennytheonionslayer Yes chlorine smells of chlorine but when diluted in the pool the smell isn't strong. The strong often overpowering smell that you often get in public swimming pools isn't because there's a lot of chlorine in it it's because of the trichchloramine created when it mixes with urine. Just google, you'll see lots of articles.

Scotland as a continent is actually a broken off piece of canada. that's why it's terrain is so incredibly different from england. billions of years ago when the planet was taking it's final form, scotland broke off from the coast of roughly canada, and traveled half way around the world as an island, until it collided with england in a one a billion shot, forming a single larger island. that's why the two country's terrains are so wildly different, and the reason for the scottish fault line.

Sorry, yes I mean opium not heroin. 🤪
