Hear ye, Hear ye! Come hither all ye peasants and nobles alike and open thine ears and thine eyes. I prithee thee to ponder the complexities of the scientific world that Antoni van Leeuwenhoek has bequeathed upon us! Antoni hath discovered fulsome information about how Humans, animals all things that walk and breathe reproduce! Henceforth our perception of the world shalt forever change today! We have in our midst a vicarious group that hath gone to seek the knowledge from the noble Antoni van Leeuwenhoek himself! These nobles’ art but mere proby’s of the great Antoni but hath absorbed overmany of his principles which they wish to bequeath upon to our unknowing persons in attendance. For a myriad of years, scientists from ‘round this fine earth hath seeked the truth behind human conception. Thither twas an Aristotelian theory that semen from the male specimen cometh forth to the female body and the female blood in the uterus, the coagulation, durst say, created the wee child! Our own Antoni hath reformed this position with some most noble research in the field. Antoni hath doth said that emen when collected immediately after ejaculation, hath overmany of “animalcules with long tails.” These animicules cometh and impregnate the female egg. The sperm needs the egg in order to grow and receivith nourishment inside the womb. So cometh hither all and gather ‘round to hear the findings from the probys of Antoni Himself! HUZZAH!
