And if I'm honest, I'm absolutely fine that they don't have reproductive organs. If anything, I prefer it. You can see one being built here. (I think. I've no idea what I'm looking at.) Also "one design had a hole through the middle in an attempt to reduce drag. This hole could be exapted into a pouch for transporting objects..." so yes, it has pockets!

 Okay thanks, Paul.
