February 11 Buttholes: how the anus made us human
Buttholes may be the key to human evolution. It might sound insane, but the need for animals to evolve relied on us being a "tube" - what makes us a tube? Having a mouth and an anus.

Today we will explain the science of buttholes. We will explain how they work, some fascinating facts and also relate them to your life now - and how they evolved millions of years ago.
