Gecko Pervs


Obviously, I must have too much free time (well either that or the BBQ beers finally got to Me) but Al-Jazeera has enlightened Me on the new sexual research.

Conducted by Russia.

In space.

And like a ex-BIL, it was DOA


Five geckos, sent into space for a study on the effects of weightlessness on sexual intercourse, have died in service according to a statement released by Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos.

The scientists discovered the four female geckos and one male had died when their craft returned to earth on Monday afternoon.

"All the geckos, unfortunately, died," said the Roscosmos statement. The exact date, time and cause of death will be determined by specialists in Moscow, Roscosmos said in a joint news release with Russia’s Institute of Medico-Biological Problems on Monday.

Fruit files, which were also on the satellite “got through the flight quite well, grew and bred,” according to the Itar-Tass news agency. A representative from the institute said, “It’s still too early to talk about the geckos’ cause of death.”

However, the news agency Interfax reported that the geckos died due to hypothermia, according to an unnamed source: “Most likely, this happened due to a failure of the equipment meant to ensure the temperature of the box with the animals.”


Hmmm..they were cold and didn't do what other animals do when they get cold??

No wonder Russia lost the (groan) Cold War

(and give Me credit: not 1 GEICO reference)

you mean they actually sent 4 lizards in space and none of those rocket scientists figured that them heat loving creatures, love heat...it gets cold up there... sheesh...

you mean a tank with a light and heated rock was to simple to do?
