Oh, good grief on the ice. Also, isn’t it internationally illegal to “go commando” in public?

The bottom right one sounds like one of those oft-repeated but stupid stories like “Scientists don’t know how bumblebees fly.”

Ice is slippery because it melts. Do you really need an explanation?

If the fly had a really fat ass, it would have been named “Scaptia minajae”.
