Re: The Greatest Headline Ever
Yeah, when I took my first trip to England in the 1980s I wrote an enthusiastic postcard to all my birding friends back home with a list of the birds I'd seen in just the first few days in London...it started out something like "I saw ravens, blackbirds, chaffinches and some great tits!" They never let me forget that one.jsluder wrote:This Oxford University article on avian evolution may be a year old, but it's got the Greatest Headline Ever.

Reminds me of an occasion in my parents Edinburgh home many years
ago when my mother (a keen but naive bird watcher) exclaimed excitedly
"O look, there's a pair of tits in the back garden!".
I spent the next 30 mins doubled up in pain on the floor whilst siblings
tried to revive me.
Thanks for the mammaries - sorry - memories ...

I saw a documentary on PBS that suggested that human females' bust size (which differed from most apes in that apes' were only enlarged when they were in heat) was an adaptation to keep the mail around constantly.djm wrote:Are you suggesting that a mammary fixation is an evolutionary step backwards, then?

I've seen that one too. More proof (IMHO) that the female of our species is as devious as ever and will stop at nothing to confuse us limp brained males.Walden wrote:I saw a documentary on PBS that suggested that human females' bust size (which differed from most apes in that apes' were only enlarged when they were in heat) was an adaptation to keep the mail around constantly.djm wrote:Are you suggesting that a mammary fixation is an evolutionary step backwards, then?
