[edit] Testicles?

This article states that the scientific name of balls is testicles. Well, I learned in school that the correct plural of testicle was testes. Anyone comment on the proper plural scientific name for the boys? BigNate37_T·C 05:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "steroid" spelled wrong

I copied this from your article

"The male and female gonads produce stroid sex hormones"

As you can see, steroid is spelled as "stroid". I researched stroid on the internet, and most of what i found were a few truck websites, as well as a town called "stroid". Of course, none of these are related to the gonad topic. For now, ill correct stroid to "steroid". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.177.11.143 (talk) 08:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] two pints a day?

Gonads in human males are capable of producing two pints of spermatazoa in a single day.

That sounds like an awful lot of sperm per day.

[edit] Gender bias?

Why does this have testicles but NOT ovaries?
