Line 56:
* [[Tom Green]] essentially sees the time he had cancer as this (since it was in cancer in that particular area).
* Sam Houston took an arrow in the groin at the [[wikipedia:Battle of Horseshoe Bend|Battle of Horseshoe Bend]], the injury keeping him out of the rest of the [[The War of 1812]].
** The [[Eric Flint]] [[Alternate History]] novel ''[[Trail of Glory|The Rivers of War]]'' changed this as the point of departure from our universe, the arrow only nicking his outer thigh, after slipping on a dirt mound, leaving Ensign Houston available during the War of 1812 to rally the defenders of Washington, DC (much to the despair of Francis Scott Key, because Houston's defense procedure involved a statue used as a barricade ... and that didn't fit into verse as well as a "star-spangled banner" would).
* Territorial male seals attempt to bite each other in the groin when they fight, rendering their rivals incapable of competing for females.
* Snails and slugs are hermaphrodites, but prefer to breed as males, so attempt to neuter each other with Groin Attacks before mating: whichever snail loses its testes is the one that gets pregnant.
