Flocks of sperm turning to the left indicates possible memory. Does this mean every sperm really is sacred?

I don't know, but the whole "flocking" concept only makes me think of the line that little Timmy has in Jurassic Park when the T-Rex is chasing the herd of Gallimimus (Gallimimii? Gallimimuses?): "They're...ah, they're flocking this way."

So when they develop this into computer memory chips I'll be able to increase my RAM by doing WHAT?

I just wanna know who had to put the sperm in the maze. Talk about your crappy part time jobs man.

Maybe it has to do with the equator, and they turn to the right first in Australia...

"Thanks for taking me out tonight, so what do you do for a living?"

"I race sperm... through mazes."

Am I the only one who suddenly feels sort of guilty?

Sperm are sentient, and just think how many were killed at my own hand.

I, for one, welcome our sentient sperm overlords.

(Glad to oblige, slippery.)

All single cell animals must have some form of memory to control their locomotion. Sperm must have a chemical flip-flop circuit to force their wagging tails to undulate in the other direction when they encounter an obstacle. Of course they could also store their memory in an intelligent particle such as a bion. And it would be ethically acceptable to kill sperm, as long as they don't have a soliton.
