WE've talked about this before but we have so many new folks I thought I'd ask

Human's don't have anal glands. ( that probably applies in your case as well) :playful:

I beg to differ ...

The Ohio Journal of Science

And, for those fans of Wiki ...

[h=2]Humans[/h]The anal glands are located in the wall of the anal canal. They secrete into the anal canal via anal ducts which open into the anal crypts along the level of the dentate line. The glands themselves are located at varying depths in the anal canal wall, some in between the layers of the internal and external sphincter (the intersphincteric plane). The cryptoglandular theory states that obstruction of these ducts, presumably by accumulation of foreign material (e.g. fecal bacterial plugging) in the crypts, may lead to perianal abscess and fistula formation.

Sorry for the small scale ... here ya' go - BOOM!

As we progress down the longitudinal muscle groupings please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle ... you're going to feel a bit squeezed as we pass the internal sphincter, nothing to worry about ... and now we enter the ancient anal canal ... note the beautiful gondolas with the romance-filled couples in them ... the anal valves are now visible on your right, that's a good picture for those of you with cameras ... now we're passing between the columns of Morgagni, a famous 17th century architect who also worked on the famed sewers of Paris ... and now, as we finish our ride and come to the mucous membrane, we here at GlandLand would like to thank you once again for your patronage. Have a good exit!
 

Actually, it's a bit strange because there's an ongoing controversy over whether humans do actually have anal glands. There are supporters and detractors for that bit of anatomical puzzlement.

Some say that what we humans have down there are not really glands; others insist that ones like the sebaceous glands (sweat glands) on our bottoms qualify.

I suppose it's just another one of those times when the terms and definitions are tossed into the air ...
 
The answer to the meaning of life is 42; I thought everybody knew that.

How about...where are the dinosaurs in the bible?

If we are to accept certain interpretations of the Bible, dinosaurs roamed the Earth with Man only a few thousand years ago. They were on Noah's Ark and the fossilized remains of their relatives left behind were hidden in the mud of that famous flood.

It is also hypothesized that the term "dragon", used many times in the Old Testament, supposedly refers to dinosaurs.

In Job 40:15-24 God describes to Job a great beast known as a behemoth, described as "the chief of the ways of God". The supposition here is that it is dinosaurs that were being referred to.
 
And once again I cheated - I had to look up the exact Scripture on that one. ;)

The only reason I knew this was because of previous - and often, heated - encounters on a religion and spirituality forum.
 
This guy must have just been checking out the stocker's anal glands...some people are beyond disgusting. Honestly though, some people walk around clueless..How many times could someone sniff your butt, before you caught on?

but man was around when there were dinosaurs according to my science classes!
 
Thank goodness for that; I wondered if you had joined the flat earth society! No offence to anybody who belongs...
