I TAKE IT FRUIT FLIES DON’T SWALLOW

It’s probably not why they got into science in the first place, but researchers at Syracuse University in New York have found that a miniscule fruit fly boasts the longest sperm in the animal kingdom. For some strange reason, the tiny Drosophila bifurca is able to spurt out a stream of splooge which would measure over two inches long if it was stretched out. “To put that into perspective, if humans made sperm that long and you took a six-foot man and stood him on the goal line of a football field, his sperm would stretch out to the 40-yard line,” said the ever-helfpul Dr. Adam Bjork.
