Story ideas don’t just come from books and coffeehouse epiphanies – sometimes they crawl out of internet memes. A recent gem claimed that male flatworms duel with their penises to decide who gets pregnant. Wrong. The truth is stranger: flatworms are hermaphrodites, every one of them armed with duelling penises, sperm, and eggs. Parenthood isn’t destiny, it’s a duel. Which is the lesson here – memes may lie, but the spark can still ignite a story. Let the meme start the fire, let the facts shape the flame.
