I've learned something interesting about brachiopods -- most have no anus.
Other inarticulate brachiopods and all articulate brachiopods have a curved gut that ends blindly, with no anus.[13] These animals bundle solid waste with mucus and periodically "sneeze" it out, using sharp contractions of the gut muscles.[20]

Draw comparisons to whatever public figure you wish, and blame it on convergent evolution.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
