Someone should care, maybe not you....

My thoughts on many things including the army, war, politics, the military corrections system, chaos, life, books, movies, and why there is no blue food. Feel free to comment on what I say. Feedback is nice.

Oh well

I was going to do a serious post today but came across this instead.

It seems the Oslo Natural History Museum is doing a exhibition on Homosexuality among animals. Among other displays are photos of male giraffes mounting each other and tow aroused male Right whales rubbing up against each other. They Also make a big deal about the Bonobo monkeys . (And if you don't know about these little sexual adventurers, well, go do research, I'm not going to go into their details now).

The Museum says
"Homosexuality is a common and widespread phenomenon in the animal world," says an exhibition statement.

"Not only short-lived sexual relationships, but even long-lasting partnerships; partnerships that may last a lifetime."



A zoologist who helped put the exhibit together admits there is a "political motive"

What fun......

Dont blush...but I have a question. Is this truly homosexuality amoung animals or is it more of a sign of sexual frustration?

If you think about it..Human animals are pretty much self service so to speak should they get the urge and have no partner.

Isnt it possible that this is the only way an animal could handle this same problem? Perhaps its not the desire for the partner as much as it is a tool for a job.

Just a thought..but then again its said I think to much.

Hard to say. I expect in many cases it is more of a frustration type event. Also some male animals will mount other males to show dominance. (or so I have heard, biologists feel free to correct me)

Bonobo monkeys on the other hand are just all out sexual adventurers.

I hope this wins an Ig Nobel prize. This might have some relevance to life but since all I see is someone's attempt at scienticically proving his political view points, I am completely unwilling to give any credence to this report.

Or am I being too harsh?

Consider the literal meaning and actual intent of the English "FU" phrase.
