This seminal discovery is nuts. And interesting way beyond the puns.

Each sperm is almost as long as the fly itself. They seem to function collectively like an organ.

Even after reading this I don't understand at all how they avoid tangles:

>sperm don’t become tangled because they’re constantly moving, sliding past one another

Yeah, I've tried this with my charging cords and it doesn't work.

Microbiology truly is alien nanotechnology.
