almost every species the male is much smaller. He often has to decide between sex and being dinner. But that urge is. irresistible.

Probably already posted here somewhere but the reason a 'shot' of liquor is called a shot:
Because quite often cowboys would blow all their pay in town and the only thing left they could barter whiskey for were bullets.

Thus, the words "Gimme a 'shot.'"
