Rodents with relatively large testes also tended to have relatively long penises, Ramm found (The American Naturalist, vol 169, p 360). The advantage this confers on rodents is unknown, but a generously proportioned organ may deposit a male's sperm further up the female reproductive tract, giving them a head start in the race to the egg, Ramm speculates.

weapon, we can neither confirm or deny your comment about the sky. We need to research it and we'll get back to you with the results.

You shouldnt be surprised about what is being researched.

"A similar, but weaker pattern occurs for carnivores. However, Ramm found no evidence that the correlation exists in either bats or primates."

Aw, nuts.
