i've been reading a lot of books this week, most given to me by joe and matt to keep me busy during my seemingly endless "rest" period. one was "the reluctant mr. darwin", an interesting biography of darwin's life and discoveries. there was mention of the crazy size of kiwi eggs (kiwis are flightless new zealand birds) and musings on why their eggs would be so large in comparison to body size. i googled it, and sure enough it's insane- check out the body:egg ratio!
banned bottled water
!!! oh god, this is so terrific.
"A rural town in Australia has voted overwhelmingly to ban the sale of bottled water over concerns about its environmental impact."
you can read it here.
lactation
i can't remember what instigated it, but i was looking at this information about male lactation. although most men lactaters induce lactation through hormones, apparently it's possible to stimulate it with some quality baby-suckling time. or imitating that with another person or a breast pump.
who knew?
and... who's game?
