I can't find the New Scientist article on -line so I'll quote a piece:

Gergely Hegyat...and colleagues compared data on the prevalence of flu strains in different duck species with the anatomy of their reproductive parts."

"The team found that the duck species with the shortest penises had the highest flu levels."

I love the fact that somebody somewhere actually wondered about this and went out and di the research - which might actually turn out to tell us something about the evolution of sexual characteristics.

Then too there's the team, that's spent years repeating basic measurements of stuff like the speed of light and the gravitational attraction between two masses to see if the random minor fluctuations between tests ever turns out to have some larger non-random pattern to it.

They haven't found anything yet, they don't expect to find anything - but if they do it could be groundbreaking. ]]> Random research: duck penis length and swine flu infection rates http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7065&Focus=196673#Comment_196673 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7065&Focus=196673#Comment_196673 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 06:25:08 -0700 city creed here

Bird flu. You know, avian. Not swine. Or am I missing something about how flus are related? (Flues?) ]]> Random research: duck penis length and swine flu infection rates http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7065&Focus=196810#Comment_196810 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7065&Focus=196810#Comment_196810 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:45:29 -0700 Kosmopolit
