A 62-year-old ball python at the St. Louis Zoo was believed to be the oldest snake ever documented in a zoo. Even more wild, she later laid seven eggs despite not being near a male for at least two decades.

Norm fucking Spellman saved my ass in my biology A-level exam today.

I can't exactly say I studied much (tbh not at all). When one of the tasks was "Define the term parthenogenesis", I was sure I've never heard the word before in class/official context, and that I'm just gonna skip the question.

But a few minutes later, I realized that I DID heard it before: "It was a parthenogenic birth. You're genetically identical to the Avatar. There litrally is no father."

He just explained the term to all of us a few weeks ago! So I wrote a more general, smart-sounding version of that.

Thank you for the help Norm, you're my favorite scientist now😌

Noise preggers

Just some non-sequitur mpreg with Noise. His symbiotic roommate Murmur is complaining about sharing the limited space... Technically, i guess Noise is neither male nor female, he's a sexless flesh robot. So this is more like... neutral-preg? He could upgrade to either or both sexes. So him getting pregnant is by no means impossible. Could also be some form of parthenogenesis.

"I wish some one would write a book about dreams and parthenogenesis—for that the two are part and parcel of the same story—a brood of folly without father bred—I cannot doubt."  From Erewhon Revisited by Samuel Butler (1901).
