PZ Myers, over at Pharyngula, draws attention to a startling thought: it wasn’t a rib that God took from Adam to make Eve, but a bone from lower down in the body – the baculum. It’s perfectly true that, unlike most mammalian species, the Homo sapiens male does not possess a baculum, which is a bone inside the penis. Perhaps the original writers of Genesis were a bit too embarrassed to write the truth.

Haha Geoff – you made me laugh, you made me think, your photographs are beautiful. Why this blog does not have more readers I just don’t know.

Ah, but I’m perfectly happy just pottering about in my little corner. While I must admit it’s nice to receive the occasional comment, particularly positive ones such as yours, I’d probably feel a wee bit more apprehensive if I thought I had to constantly keep the visitor numbers up…
