All you need to have for a fun evening with a too-trusting friend are a couple of logs, a long piece of 2 by 4s, a bin, and a blindfold.
Here's a simple yet diabolically genious prank that you shouldn't pull on anybody, you hear? http://militantplatypus.mps-games.com/blog/archives/4743#more-4743

This kind of thing is a little bit "fun" IF it is ACCIDENTAL; we've all seen the videos on TV of people inadvertently getting hit in the groin. (it's always guys)with a soccerball or something --- but to plan it out and do it on purpose ??? As to the people who responded saying "it's just a male bonding thing"... Sports team and Fraternity hazing was once accepted as harmless "fun", but people are hurt and it's not fun.
On top of that, has no-one noticed the latent/suppressed homophobic element of this? The perpetrator picked the other mans' gentitals as his target...think about it. Why is it when guys 'haze' other guys that they seem to prefer these sorts of things??? How about it guys, any comments?

And no, this is not funny.
rolls over your neighbor's dog?
What's great for a snack and fits on your back?
It's Log, Log, Log!
It's Log, Log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's Log, Log, it's better than bad, it's good!
Everyone wants a log! You're gonna love it, Log!
Come on and get your log! Everyone needs a Log!"
Still, fascinating creatures. I wonder how the complexity of adult mayflies compares to their larva... I know the adults only live long enough to mate, and do not even have time or energy to eat.
Nothing to do with evolution.
"Reverse evolution" is as much a misnomer as "reverse sexism" or "reverse racism".
Besides, the process in question here is not evolution in any case. It's a metamorphic change within one generation. It would be like referring to a caterpillar turning into a butterfly as evolution. It's just another stage of its life-cycle.
Having said that, it is an interesting metamorphic effect .
"Reverse evolution" is a reference to recapitulation theory, thought to have been outdated but a form of it is now making a comeback as we discover more fossils/evidence.
The evolution of certain organisms and their structures can sometimes be understood by observing the organisms devlopment. i.e. the growth of feathers on birds has shed light on how feathers evolved in dinosaurs.
This "reverse evolution" is a creature that for whatever reason found it advantageous to take on a simpler body structure in its adult life, the "blueprint" for which is found in a body form held by its ancestors. Technically there is no "reverse evolution", but its a suitable semantic tool to describe a real phenomenon.
"Technically there is no “reverse evolution”, but its a suitable semantic tool to describe a real phenomenon." What you say is correct, but its not a suitable semantic tool to describe THIS phenomenon.
