In relative terms the largest belongs to the Argentine Blue Bill duck, which at 17" is over twice as long as the duck, which measure 8".
That duck has the largest comparative penis for a *vertebrate*.

Cats and dogs etc have knees, surely? The joint that looks like their knee but backwards is their ankle, and the knee is tucked up to their body is it not?
Or am I missing the definition of knee?
EDIT: wiki seems to suggest that 'knee' refers to the carpus or the bit at the end of the lower leg in animals - but that would still be four knees.

backhander, there are a fair few languages with no swear (ie. with a certain taboo) words. From memory, Japanese, quite a few native American dialects and lots of Polynesian Island languages...that's just off the top of my head. Not sure about Welsh but I suspect you may well be correct.
I think that when we got hold of English, with all it's swear words, and having spent centuries with none, we just got carried away. And never really reined it back in.

If the irish had no taboo words in their own language it would seem to encourage the use of any word you felt like, thereby resulting in lots of apparent swearing when speaking English.
Welsh does have naughty words btw.

Surely, what makes a swear word is a social decision. Arse might be completely acceptable in some circles and not in others.
