Size Matters - for Bats - Who Woulda Thunk It?!

Apparently bat testicle size is inverse to brain size. This quote says it all - "Bats invest an enormous amount in testis, and the investment has to come from somewhere. There are no free lunches".

Several thoughts came to mind after I read this:
  • Duh!
  • Who in their right mind would measure bat testicles?!
  • Aren't there more pressing research topics out there, like curing cancer or factors that matter for human evolution?

Now I'm really damned one way or the other: 1) If I tell a woman I'm smart, she'll think I have ahem,"limited assets;" on the other hand, if I tell her that I'm God's gift to women while pointing at my sock stuffed crotch, she'll wonder if I can make full sentences.
