According to the Metro today the production of sperm and brain cells are both very energy demanding. Thus males cannot generate large numbers of both.

The study found that in bat species where the females were unusally promiscuous the males had much larger testicles, up to 8.5% of their body mass, as opposed to 0.02-0.75% in apes, however these males also had much smaller brains.

In species where the females were monogomous have relativly large brains.

However male promiscuity doesn’t seem to affect this at all.

And some more cute bats

Gemma has drawn me a wonderful picture of Skippy.

Isn’t it great;

I’ve had a bit of a bad week this week. On Tuesday I stabbed myself in the thumb with a screwdriver. Which still really hurts. Then later I managed to jam the same hand in a pair of pliers. Wedensday I then managed to drop a circuit board (no I don’t mean the type in your computer, its a large wooden board with pins in so the kids can make circuits) on my hand. Then later slightly burnt it on a pressure cooker, my left hand is now feeling a bit sorry for itself. Then to top things off this morning I banged my head on a cupboard door.

I’m dreading going to work tomorrow, goodness knows what I’ll do then
