Watching animal documentaries fills your head with all sorts of amusing junk:

?The Amazonian Candiru, aka the "Penis fish", is known to swim up the urethra of men and then lodges itself there by poking out spines in its body.
? Horned Devil Lizards drink through their feet so they can draw up even small amounts of moisture off of the desert floor
? Gibbons have wrist joints that have fused into a ball and socket joint to allow them to swing through the trees.
? Horses have such strangely evolved legs it would be the equivalent of us running on our middle fingers and middle toes.
? The antechinus, an Austalian mouse-like tree marsupial, mates until it dies!!The males mate for 12 hours at a time and their orgies can involve as many as 16 partners. They continue this without stopping for sleep, food or water. Within two weeks all the males are dead, leaving the females to bring up the next generation.
?The Fulmar (a type of seagull) has young that will defend themselves by essentially vomiting at possible attackers. When they are of a reasonable size they can have a range of about 1½ metres. It smells vile and apparently destroys the special waterproof coating on the feathers of avian attackers.

Eat a third and drink a third and leave the remaining third of your stomach empty.
Then, when you get angry, there will be sufficient room for your rage.

I'm never going to the Amazon! *clutches groin* Good still there.
