Is my tax money being used to fund this #@$%ing tripe? I am sick and tired of all the idiotic "research" being funded by our taxes. I wonder if any of the scientists who "earn" a living doing such inane "research" really appreciate how fortunate they are. |

Back on topic... Who the heck chose the name for that bird? I mean that was surely one seriously goofed in the head naturalist. |

As to the conclusion of the "research"... More virile, better looking birds are... more verile. Who knew! Next they'll be extrapolating from this ground breaking revelation and finding that more virile, healthy looking men also have stronger sperm. HOLD THE PRESSES!!!

Blake, unless you are paying taxes in Switzerland, you have nothing to worry about

Even then it might be privately funded. |

Interestingly enough, my search for those terms brought me to badweb. I was understandably disappointed. |

If you read the article, you get the idea that carrots are a good thing. I knew about the antioxidants, and the eyesight, but sperm count? Cool. Danny, some jobs are more embarrassing than others. |

I would hazard a guess that a photo of Not So Great Tits, Flashier or not, posted here might possibly produce stronger sperm from massaged cloacas however that might occur. sorry, I read it here on the BadWeB |

Cloaca From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In zoological anatomy, a cloaca is the posterior opening that serves as the only such opening for the intestinal, reproductive and urinary tracts of certain animal species. The word comes from Latin, and means sewer. All birds, reptiles, and amphibians possess this orifice, from which they excrete both urine and feces, unlike placental mammals, which possess two separate orifices for evacuation. The cloacal region is also often associated with a secretory organ, the cloacal gland, which has been implicated in the scent marking behavior of some reptiles, amphibians and monotremes. Birds also reproduce with this organ; this is known as a cloacal kiss. Birds that mate using this method touch their cloacae for only a few seconds, sufficient enough time for sperm to be transferred from the male to the female. The reproductive system must be re-engorged prior to the mating season of each species. Such regeneration usually takes about a month. Birds generally produce one batch of eggs per year, but they will produce another if the first is taken away (they have the ability to produce more). For some birds, such as some species of swans and ducks, the males do not use the cloaca for reproduction but have a phallus. (Message edited by Whatever on January 22, 2010) |

Sounds a bit Cloaca & dagger to me. Tits in regard to women's breasts is a comparatively recent usage & a contraction of Teats. Up until around the 50s in England, a Tit was either a push button switch, or a bird that pecked the foil off the top of your milk bottles to get a drink, clever little buggers, but not as clever as the sparrows who'd wait til the BlueTit had done the work before muscling it off. |

True, but it means we're uniquely qualified as tit experts. Amongst my wide range of services, I provide free no obligation tit inspection & assessments. One can live in hope, no? |
