Male nipples.....
There seems to be no logical answer behind this as women are the ones who nurture their babies with the milk from their breasts. Then, why do men have nipples on their bodies. Study about this has shown that initially all embryos have a female template and therefore the nipples is one of the things that are developed in the embryo before the X or Y chromosome is decided. This is the main reason why men as well as women have nipples on their bodies. The nipples in a man have no function as such. Though, due to hormonal imbalance in a man the nipples can grow to become more prominent. Therefore, the development of nipples is because of early development in the embryo and that is when it does not matter whether it is going to be a baby boy or girl. So, men are left with mammary tissue though only a little bit of it. The flip side of this is that the breast tissue in men can go on to develop into breast cancer and other concerns just like as in women. They have the same nipples as in women but only the size and function differs

I passed a group of teenage lads this morning and they were laughing. I wrongly assumed it would have been a dirty joke they were laughing at,but as I got closer,I heard one lad say,"If I was chromosome,I'd be the forty third one." then they all laughed again. Just goes to show..............

Alexander the Great washed his hair with saffron to keep it a shiny orange colour.It takes between 85,000 and 140,000 crocuses to produce one kilo of saffron. That is why it is expensive and retails at around £3,750 a pound. During the reign of Henry VIII,it was illegal to adulterate saffron with other ingredients and the punishment was being burned at the stake.

What a shame, I love crocuses which along with snowdrops are a sign that the long dark winter is ending

The most common bird in the world is the chicken.There are estimated to be around 52 billion chickens in the world. That is nine for every human. Eating chickens is a relatively new idea. Before the Romans came to Britain,chickens were kept exclusively for producing eggs.
