Weekly wrap-up and answer to a penetrating riddle
First order of today’s business is to answer yesterday’s ODDriddle: “What is the evolutionary purpose of the human female orgasm?” According to Professor Elisabeth A. Lloyd
of Indiana University, the female orgasm has no evolutionary function whatsoever. We ODDFellows, don’t find that all bad news, in fact it may be the best argument the Intelligent Design
crew can put forward (but then they’d also have to explain nipples on males.) Could this really be evidence of a compassionate God(dess)?
Many thanks to the West Coast member of the ODDbraintrust. In addition to throttling the ODDfellows for their continued assault on the English Language, our ODDleftcoaster brought today’s ODD obit to our attention. Our ODDOaklandite also asks the question, “Why is there no 2004 Darwin Award
list? Could the Darwins be On Deck?” Humm, guess we’ll have to cruise on over there and see what’s up.
Why are the Brits continuing to be so upset about pictures of Saddam in his underwear
? For crying-out-loud, it’s getting up to 106 F (41 C) in Baghdad
during the day. Who wouldn’t be sitting around in their underwear?
Here’s a quick recap of the weeks notable partings from the planet:
JIMMY MARTIN (77): King of bluegrass, died of bladder cancer. Bought first guitar with possum skins. What in the world are possum skins used for?
JUNE MCCOY (95): Actress, died of natural causes. If a load of organic vegetables falls on you in Whole Foods and kills you, is that “natural causes?” Never mind. Speaking of organic vegetables…
PAUL K. KEENE (94): Pioneer organic farmer, cause of death not stated…could it be tomatoes or perhaps okra?
?
ELISABETH FRASER (85): Character actor who died of congestive heart failure. She was Sergeant Bilko’s
sweetheart for those that remember black and white TV.
JOSE M. LOPEZ (94): WWII Medal of Honor winner, died of cancer.
FRANK GORSHIN (72): Actor and comedian who died of emphysema and pneumonia. “Holy cigarette smoke Batman!”
PIERO DORANZIO (77): Painter, died of complications of diabetes.
HARRY CORDEN (85): Voice actor best known for Barney Rubble, also died of emphysema.
CHARIE MUSE (87): Inventor of batting helmet, cause of death not stated.
“The Aviator”
comes out on DVD this week. Check out Howard Hughes “ODD Exit.”
Okay, this is a bit edgy, but we have to ask: If, according to research
, from birth, men and women share the same nervous system pathway for orgasms, when did women get the upgrade to “multiple?” Just asking.
