1. A penile skin bridge: this sometimes occurs as a result of infant circumcision. As the wound from the procedure heals, the inner lining of the left-over foreskin adheres to the glans penis (the tip). It is usually benign, but in some cases can lead to complications.

2. Hirsuties Papillaris Genitalis, or penile papules: These are pearly, yellow-white, raised bumps on the surface of the penis, and are completely benign. Their appearance is related to neither sexually transmitted diseases nor personal hygiene. Something like 40% of males have them, more frequently with males who are not circumsized.

Glandular Trichomes of the Cannabis Sativa Plant. When formed they are usually clear or milky-translucent white, then a gradually more amber color as the plant matures. The amber color of the trichomes is generally what harvesters look for when determining the readiness of the plant to be processed (at the amber stage the trichomes contain the optimal levels of THC).

The purpose of these phallic wonders, believe it or not, is not euphoria in humans. Most glandular trichomes in plants serve the same purpose as other types, with some glandular hairs serving to trap insects for semi-insectivorous plants. The production of THC is probably a development for warding off larger herbivores (Ever try to get your cat stoned? Most animals aren’t big fans of this.) with the psychotropic effects and the distinct smell.

Certainly you can see why the Cannabis plant has adapted in so many places all over the globe. Its defenses are high against its many threats. But its greatest mechanism for survival is perhaps its abundance of THC. Although natural selection didn’t intentionally favor our tastes for ingestible entheogens, what better way to survive as a plant than to be loved and cultivated by dominant species on your planet?

Ingestion of a small flagellate (a small cell with a whip-like propellor) by an Amoeba. When food is encountered, the amoeba’s cytoplasm surrounds the prey and enzymes are released to break down the food. The remaining material from the flagellate (or other food) is left behind, or egested, as the amoeba floats along.

We pretty much do the exact same thing with our faces.
