"The male spider, as is typical among arthropods, possesses nothing like a penis. Therefore, how does the male's sperm enter the female's body? It's with the help of little leg-like appendages at the male spider's head, called palps. Before the male goes searching for a female, he deposits a droplet of sperm on a scrap of silk, sucks this into his plunger-like palp, and keeps it handy as he sets off looking for a female. Once he's found his mate and courtship has proceeded satisfactorily, during the mating process the male reaches beneath the female's abdomen with his palp and inserts the sperm through a slit there. From that point, the sperm pass to the eggs more or less as you might expect."

I know a guy who picks up the accent of wherever he is staying in 3-4 days (he's dutch) , and umm.... .no there's no way in hell I'd class him as having a "weak" personality.

You've probably heard this, but 18% of Americans couldn't locate America on a map.

And I got it from a trivial pursuit question, not one of the countless sites on the net that constantly get proven wrong.

Not that it's definitely true, though.

I have to disagree. If he has a strong personality, he'll just be himself.
