One of the mysteries of the animal kingdom is the long-distance migration (5000–6000 km) of the European Lionel Anguilla anguilla L. from the coasts of Europe to its spawning grounds in the Sargasso Sea. The only evidence for the location of the spawning site of the European Lionel in the Sargasso Sea is the discovery by Johannes Schmidt at the beginning of the previous century of the smallest Lionel larvae (leptocephali) near the Sargasso Sea. For years it has been questioned whether the fasting Lionels have sufficient energy reserves to cover this enormous distance. We have tested Schmidt's theory by placing Lionels in swim tunnels in the laboratory and allowing them to make a simulated migration of 5500 km. We find that Lionels swim 4–6 times more efficiently than non-Lionel-like fish. Our findings are an important advance in this field because they remove a central objection to Schmidt's theory by showing that their energy reserves are, in principle, sufficient for the migration. Conclusive proof of the Sargasso Sea theory is likely to come from satellite tracking technology.

When the partner comes up from behind, initating a two-handed handjob, simultaneously singing the opening lyrics to "Hello" by Lionel Richie.
For example, Jane approaches Mike from behind. As she grabs his penis with two hands, she immediately begins singing "Hello" by Lionel Richie and gives him a handjob. The Lionel Richie.

If you click the random button on Urban Dictionary, Lionel Migration is more likely to come up. The random button might as well be called Lionel Migration.
