I remember telling my bio-chem mom about ‘King Phillip Came Over For Great Spaghetti’ in middle school. Didn’t realize why she chuckled until later.

Why wouldn't you use Karen...?

Well, Kevin makes more sense to have gay sex with than Karen. At least if you are male.

I think Karen is just as capable as Kevin of having gay sex.

Depending on how pedantic you are.

I'm starting to think no one here knows this is from a TV show...

Taxonomy is much more complicated than I remember from high school. For one thing I thought the top level was Kingdom, consisting of Animal and Plant. There's like 50x more to it. And I actually liked school and mostly paid attention. WTF?

When I learned about taxonomy in the 90's they hadn't really sequenced many genomes, so taxonomy was still very much phenotype driven, rather than the modern genetic/molecular approaches. I just assumed that everything I learned has become out of date.

See my stupid ass would remember the fun phrase but not the related factual word. So I'd just have phrases with no inkling what the original info was.

Anybody got a sexy mnemonic that includes subphylum, subclass, superorder, suborder, etc? Or, more to the point, what taxonomic system gets us to the orgy the fastest?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Didn't know Kevin was such a sub...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Sure, just tag "and subphylum, subclass, superorder, suborder" to the end, so that it's ASSSS

And you know everyone wants and ASSSS orgy
