Unless I'm mistaken, I'm fairly certain the question "where does your lap go when you stand up?" was answered in the book "Do Ants Have Arseholes?", or maybe it was in the sequel "Do Bats Have Bollocks?" but safe to say, somebody already asked, and someone else already answered.
Fairly sure ants have arseholes... Or do they? Are their lives so short that they don't need them? Mayflys only live a day or so. They probably don't need an arsehole. Maybe they just have a rudimentary arsehole, like the wisdom teeth and appendix in humans. We don't really need them anymore, but some people still have them. Maybe there's a dead end at the end of the alimentary canal like a cul-de-sac on an ant 🐜 or Mayfly. Pretty sure the Queen has an arsehole because she eats all the time.
@@georgiajeff912 If the answer in the book is to be believed, then yes, ants do indeed have arseholes. However, nothing in that book should be taken seriously, it _is_ hilarious though, and the same can be said of the sequel.

There’s not really any such thing as ‘a’ Northern accent. Liverpool, Manchester, Hull, Leeds, Newcastle, York, Sunderland and Bolton are all ‘Northern’ towns and each have their own distinctive accent. Even towns just a few miles apart can have distinctive differences
@@wheedler hmmm… you’re suggesting that they meant ‘a type of Northern accent’? I don’t think that’s what the poster meant, I read it as then suggesting all northern accents are the same, and was this THE northern accent rather than A northern accent.

Well, that was nothing compared to playing minesweeper, a lot of one legged people in hospitals invented solitaire after that
