Scicurious amuses the hell out of me.
Quote:But we're all still HERE. So I have to think that, until there are studies proving otherwise, most other mammals, and hopefully sharks, don't really care if you're seeping a little bit of endometrium from your nether regions.
But there IS one species, apparently that DOES care.
The brown tree snake.

Along the same lines, Black Bears are attracted to dirty diapers...so much so that the NYS Dept of Environmental Conservation has made specific mention of them in their list of precautions to avoid creating a nuisance black bear problem.
A fun excerpt,
"Remember: Bears are attracted by smells...With the exception of ammonia, Lysol, camphor and other strong smells, everything smells like potential bear food. Remove the food attractant and you'll remove the bear."
This apparently includes juniors latest 10 sheeter....(as long as he didn't piss a lake in the damned thing)
They also mentioned that you might want to leave the radio on at night..and judging by the quality of radio recently, I completely understand where the bears are coming from.

Turn it to a Christian rock station and you'll drive all the animals out of the area. Unfortunately it might attract fundies.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Just one more reason to be happy that I have my low maintenance male anatomy.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
