This species frequently indulges in rape, the
occasional gang rape and homosexual necrophilia.
The male population of this species possesses
penises shaped like counter-clockwise corkscrews.
The rapey nature of this species’ mating has led to a
bizarre sort of genital arms race, with females building
greater and more complex vaginal defenses over time.
Thus, some females have vaginas that corkscrew in
the opposite direction of the males' corkscrew penises
and even have up to eight false pathways to make the
intrusive penis take a wrong turn.

Around 1900, seven brothers named X immigrated to the United
States from Italy. They eventually settled on the West Coast in
California and became machinists. Rachele X, one of the brothers,
began making aircraft propellers,
inspired by an air show he had seen at the 1915 Panama Pacific
Exposition in nearby San Francisco. They designed a unique
propeller known as the "X toothpick". However
in 1921, brother Giaconda X was killed when one of their planes
crashed. As a result, in 1925 the X Brothers stopped making aircrafts
and went into research in fluid mechanics. Rachele X turned the
company's know-how in
making hydraulic aircraft pumps to the manufacture of a new kind of
deep well agricultural pump. Today they are known for their plumbing
manufacturing. Who are we referring to?

decided it would reflect poorly on them to keep delivering
refreshments to their now sworn enemies.Without Coke's
super-secret formula, Keith was growing desperate to deliver
something to the public, so he did what all of us do in times of
desperation -- he threw some shit together and hoped it
worked. Specifically, whey (the liquid component of curdled
milk), pomace (the crap left over after pressing fruit) and a
shitload of fake sugar. Keith named it X, an abbreviation of the
German word for imagination.The Germans loved it, especially
toward the end of the war, when food was becoming scarce
and it was discovered that X made an excellent soup broth.

Oh my baby how I love your legs
Not as much as I love scrambled egg

Oh have you tried the waffle fries
They are so damn good that they should be illegal
They are like regular fries but they're shaped like a waffle
Tofu wings,
Oh my baby when I hear you sing
All I think about is tofu wings
Oh did you bring the tofu wings
There's a place I know where I go for kick-ass wings
We could even get a side of onion rings

Oh my baby how I love your legs
Not as much as I love scrambled egg
Oh let's go get some scrambled eggs‖
