      Exactly. I hear so many “fails” on school books from across the world. I think a lot of the time school books are not getting reviewed enough before being published, and the author will see if his/her prank fails. Sometimes, however, there is intentional propaganda being peddled.

      That image will stick in the mind of every school boy (and possibly girl) who sees it. That’s a win for the textbook.

    did you know a horses penis can be 12-24inches? Some can be over 30. This would probably rupture a humans organs.

    NSFW educational images

    they have a muscle that retracts the penis into the body so it’s honestly surprising to see just how big it really is

    also when googling I found this image which is kinda funny to me because whoever saw it happening really spent the time drawing it manually and putting it into a book.

    Also, horses have really massive hearts, which is pretty cool

      Preemptive edit: Connect keeps deleting the text of my post before I can post it and it’s really annoying. As a result this might not be as articulate as I tried to make my first attempt at a response.

      Where I grew up, there was a horse pasture at the end of the road. (And another at the other end, but that one was at the top of a big hill so I never really saw the horses there. I only know it was a pasture because apparently my sister had a horse there, then lost it when she started getting younger brothers.)

      Once my mom was driving my brother and me somewhere, doesn’t really matter where, and while she waited at the intersection adjacent to the pasture we could see, my brother and I observed a horse in an odd pose. While waiting to be able to cross traffic, she realized we were trying to figure out the horse’s unusual stance and said “and that, gentlemen, is how horses pee.”

      Thank you for reminding me of my mother, if in an unconventional manner.

      That’s why it’s dangerous to have sex with animals. The size alone can be trained for, but you’re dealing with an animal that does not understand consent. Allegedly most horse sex videos featured the animals being drugged to avoid such incidents.

      Seriously, just get a horse dildo instead of sexually abusing animals. There’s some evidence that they suffer from it, even if the animals can’t speak of the harm they suffer.

      When they say how much a heart weighs, does that include the weight of all the blood inside it? That doesn’t seem appropriate because the blood isn’t part of the heart, it’s actively being pumped through it.

      If the blood is not included, then holy crap how is it 5 kg?

          If I know the video, it is mildly disturbing mostly due to the sudden death. The stallion stiffens and collapses after the mare brains him and the person filming happened to capture a lot of detail of the dying CNS including the stallion’s face.

    I am disgusted at myself for laughing at all, much less this much, and absolutely horrified to suddenly find myself sharing it

    This is despicable

      Now imagine being the teacher, trying to proceed with the class when they first open it at this page.
