    No, I don't quite know why it exists. It is licked as a gesture of submission by males or smaller females, as well as in bonding. It actually make it harder to copulate or give birth though because it still functions as a vagina. Possibly something to do with the evolutionary advantages of the females being almost rape proof? Because yeah, it's way too awkward and long a production for any male to force himself on a female the other animals will have occurring.
    Speaking of the natural occurrence of rape, I know of one species where it definitely has affected natural selection in the genitalia, unsurprisingly in of the most amorous and aggressive maters:

    Beware of drakes.

    To address the second bit, no the males have penis, which are around 10% longer but less thick. This is what makes spotted hyena mating so damn awkward. Can see why the other species have less weird genitalia.

    It's 2019, we ought to be long done with puppet monarchs that are only kept around to promote tourism. It's sickening really, that they even still exist. Even worse, my pathetic little Scotland entertains them. God damn. What a silly, insignificant country Scotland has become. Still under the apron of the fucking English and their royal layabouts.

    Okay, let's stop before we start... this is useless facts not pointless arguments.

    If you want to debate the monarchy, Scottish independence or any of the stuff take it outside to the debate room

    Olive oil comes from pressed olives. Linseed oil comes from boiled linseeds. I can't say where baby oil comes from...

    Possibly not, but I do know why those who race cars on a dirt track use baby oil. :p

    Canola oil comes from rape. Rapeseed, to be exact, and apparently the name change had nothing to do with the marketing department panicking.

    see over here its just called rape seed oil ...and they've made it a luxury item - coldpressed extra finest rapeseed oi... i guess they realise the hipster market are bright enough to realise words have more than one meaning (its also good if you get hayfever from the bright yellow fields of nastiness)

    Interesting - it had passed me by the hathcock's 2.238 record had been broken (seems it was broken twice in quick succession by american snipers in afghanistan)

    They coat their cars in it cause the dirt turns to mud, and the baby oil keeps the mud from
    sticking to the windshield. :p

    However with picking up lots of empty bottles of the oil, were bud can/bottles,
    cig butts, and under one bleacher a Polaroid of some redneck porn. Needless to
    say we never volunteered to clean up the local track again, but we did turn in the
    Polaroid to the owner, in the off chance they might know who the half naked lady
    was. (I shudder to think about finding a similar pic on the interwebz). :bigeek:

    I think that one doesn't count because it wasn't a confirmed kill (ie a kill witnessed by someone other than the sniper and their spotter). Also its difficult to claim a record if you don't want to be named for fear of becoming a terror target.

    Hathcock had unconfirmed kills at longer ranges than his record too
