Awww....such a happy little fella!

Are worms really that miserable? They can reproduce hermaphroditically, right, so that makes them capable of reproducing with twice the percentage of organisms that humans can. They should be downright chipper.

I like this guy. He seems to be saying, "hey, I might be going down, but I'm going to do it with a smile on my face, and I'm taking you all with me!"
It's funny to think of reproduction in terms of success. It's just passing on half of your recombined genetic patterns that will get buggered up by someone else's genetic patterns. It's not as if you get to live again. It's not even is if the atoms that were temporarily part of your body won't slowly make your way out of your offspring's body becoming part of other objects and beings.
Everything is rented on this planet -- time, space, matter. But I know that and I'm still happy.
