    I'm a big supporter of the metric system but I cook with cups and teaspoons.

    There are metric versions of these, eg here
    1/5 teaspoon = 1 ml
    1 teaspoon = 5 ml
    1 tablespoon = 15 ml
    1 fluid oz. = 30 ml
    1/5 cup = 50 ml
    1 cup = 240 ml

    Though I think 250 ml for a cup would be rounder.

    Afterall, a "drake" is a man-dragon to begin with, eh? Removes a little redundancy. ;)

    More seriously, Mandragora, the botanical name for the plant, might be a good choice.

    Pussy? Yeah, right. You love cock. You can't get enough man-sausage.

    Doing a quick calculation, it appears that in your short lifetime you've already sucked 25,000 different dicks. That's a lot of dick. Now, let us assume that each dick was sucked a minimum of 10 times. Obviously this is a low estimate since we both know that you've sucked your dad off at least 1,000 times. But anyway, this means you've given 250,000 blow jobs. Now then this article points out that each ejaculation averages to be about 1 tablespoon of semen and semenal fluid. 1 tablespoon is equal to 15 mL according to this article. So if you've had 250,000 tablespoons of semen shot into you, you've consumed 3,750,000 mL of semen. Furthermore we know that 1 quart equals 946.36 mL from this webpage. Therefore, you have had 3,962 quarts of semen. Ultimately, this means that you've ingested 990 gallons of semen. Consider this, an in-ground pool with dimensions of five feet by seven feet and a shallow depth of one foot and a deep depth of seven feet holds roughly 1,050 gallons (source). You've drank an entire swimming pool of semen.

    Ultimately, you're a homosexual and this means that you will soon be battling AIDS so don't expend energy trying to keep up with me, you lazy Muslim.

    You cite my journal and call it "whiny." Please check my journal again son. There's no whining there - just good science. Now, on with the flame. (For the record, I troll for fun. You seem to be taking this much more seriously than I.)
