Sic Transit Vir

[clearspira]

Do centauri still have the "human" reproductive organs as well as the tentacles or is just the tentacles and the female holes they go into? Centauri are born right? That means their females have normal vaginas and ovaries, right?

Something similar to the vagina must exist. Babies must come from somewhere as you say. But it cannot be designed anything like the human vagina because i'm guessing the sperm must flow from the tentacle holes(?)

And here's a related question: how many testicles do Centauri have? Is there one for every tentacle? Are the internal or do they have six scrotum's? Are they in the ''human'' place and then the sperm travels upward via pipes to the six penises?

And how do Centauri men urinate?

Sorry. I thought about this way too hard. Far harder than JMS did for this throwaway gag.

This is actually mentioned in an episode, but I forget which one. I think it's the one where Lennier and Londo end up working together for the episode, and Londo uses one of his tentacle penises to cheat at poker.

Also... JMS got cable networks to include tentacle penis based poker cheating on camera. He's better at getting things past the censors than Animaniacs.

I've often wondered what it must be like to be part of an arranged marriage.

Not great. HTH.

I'm sure it's not. But i wonder how much we are imprinting our 21st century values onto the practice. Many things seem barbaric today but actually had a use once upon a time.

Aren't they less likely to end in divorce?

That's assuming correlation implies causation and possibly ignoring a confounder, like religiousity reducing divorce rates.

I just remembered, that it's the Centauri who were the first alien race to encounter humans. There was something how they suggested that they thought Earth was a lost colony, probably cause they found some transmissions and discovered hentai.

We don't know that. Might be more of a Surinam toad situation.

Looked up Surinam toad - gives one trypophobia.

Since this is the most recent B5 review:

“All life is transitory. A dream. We all come together in the same place at the end of time. If I don't see you again here, I will see you in a little while, in the place where no shadows fall.”

RIP Mira Furlan. You will be severely missed.

I used to work with someone who was an in arranged marriage. He and his wife actually arranged it so they'd get married to another. They met at someone else's wedding, hit it off, and let their parents do the arranging. They're still happily married to this today AFAIK. Of course, that's more the exception than the rule.
