The Eauropean earwig has two penises as proven by some Japanese scientists who interrupted two earwigs having sex, they were surprised to see the males penis break off and it 'grow' another one...Also, with penis to body ratio, earwigs have the biggest cocks on the planet :shock:

But if it's hotter, surely it will be less dense and so, slightly lighter.

I suspect the confusion comes from the difference between cold water and ice. Water is very unusual in that it's solid form is not as dense as its liquid form, due to it forming a crystaline structure when solid.

The rock sequence at Caswell Bay on the Gower is described by the phrase
King

Each first letter refers to a Fossil

Kliestapora
Zaphrentis
Caninia

Dibunaphilum

or to be exact

Kliestapora
Zaphrentis
Caninia 1
Caninia 2 Seminula 1
Seminula 2
Dibunaphilum 1
Dibunaphilum 2
Dibunaphilum 3

:oops:

The temperature at the bottom of a pond (at least 4' deep) in Winter is 4°C

Water at it's maximum density
