more proof that "big" can be bad as well as good

In research published in May in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, biologist Brian Langerhans and colleagues found that large genitals in some fish species (such as the western and Bahamas mosquitofish) represent evolutionary pluses and minuses. Apparently, females prefer well-endowed mating partners, but on the other hand, well-hung males tend to have shorter life spans because, weighted down as they are, they cannot swim away from predators as nimbly as can mosquitofish with smaller endowments. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (press release), 5-10-05]

Here's for swimming slowly with a smile... to being nimbly and no action.

I'm surprised you're able to walk upright.

It's good to have a rudder in the water.

Enjoy it while it lasts.
