Norma told us about this article:
<<Because we talk about measuring colostrum in terms of teaspoonsful, I
was quite concerned to read this article in the BMJ:
http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/331/7531/1498>>
*****************************************
This was hysterical! Thank you for such a funny read!
My favorite quote out of the article:
"Somewhere in the cosmos, along with all the planets inhabited by humanoids,
reptiloids, walking treeoids, and superintelligent shades of the colour
blue, a planet is entirely given over to spoon life-forms. Unattended spoons make
their way to this planet, slipping away through space to a world where they
enjoy a uniquely spoonoid lifestyle, responding to highly spoon oriented
stimuli, and generally leading the spoon equivalent of the good life._4_
(http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/331/7531/1498#REF4) "
Then the best one from one of the letters, on the mutation of socks:
<<In a highly classified, and so far unpublished study I determined that
socks are the larval stage of the common wire coat hanger. When temperatures and
humidly are exactly right sock larvae crawl into the far recesses of washing
machines to pupate emerging as fully formed, but still pliable hangers
(bodies fully expand and harden instantly on exposure to sunlight) some 36 hours
later. This timing ensures they will have the cover of darkness when they
leave the machines to seek mates. Probably to maximise survival each sock twin
seems to require slightly different conditions for initiation of metamorphosis
which is why both socks of a pair rarely 'vanish' on the same day. As adults
can only mate while hanging by their hook shaped tails, closets and wardrobes
are their favoured habitat.
