Deer are people too

Scientists have made major breakthroughs in isolating the stupidity gene:
Macho fathers can be confident their sons will take after them, but their daughters are likely to be weaklings, a study of red deer has demonstrated.
"We think it very likely that any fathers who butt heads against their colleagues will have daughters incapable of escaping hound dogs."

When asked why these scientists chose deer to study, instead of, say, sheep, or even (deer I say) people they were emphatic that there is no discernible difference between deers and humans. "Even their habitats are the same". [my supposition]

Perhaps it comes down to a matter of faith? These "scientists" obviously have great faith the differences between deer and human are not significant. It is a matter of faith that we will continue to believe all research conducted by scientists is good.

Apparently, this study proved "evolution can't find an optimum for both sexes".

In another study of jelly fish, scientists claim that families with too much salt in their diet tend to drift apart after a while.

It is not known how much money these scientists received for this research, but it may be money well spent if we can prove that most researchers of this ilk carry the stupidity gene. I think the science of sociology has a long way to go.

Meanwhile, other scientists have announced that excessive aspartame (a neurotoxin) use by rats can lead them to develop cancer. The public have been urged not to feed rats diet coke, or let them near chewing gum. Ironically, when a human female recently reported a negative reaction to excessive aspartame use via chewing gum, the findings were brushed away. "No scientific evidence" was the suggestion. Obviously, if we can observe similar behaviour and reaction in armadillos, we could have conclusive evidence. But observing the same in a human, sample size 1, only leads to experts pointing out that physiology between humans is far too diverse for this to have any meaningful credibility.

In other news, arsenic has been declared safe for human consumption after a successful trial on sheep.

And funnily enough, an interesting sheep and arsenic trial

There's too much stuff about aspartame and rats to bother linking. My hint - avoid aspartame like the plague, but don't rely on studies on rats to tell you that.

  1. You doubt the comparison? But human males fight each other during the rutting season for the right to control large harems, just like deer. Oh - er, hang on...

  2. Another thing I didn't mention about this "Oh Dear" post.

    Note how a study of Red Deer leads the researcher to think Macho Fathers are creating weak daughters!

    Someone still has father/daughter issues, and really needs to sort it before moving on to study hoary marmots and how the male of the species eats the larger portion of food, thus causing great discomfort for the female offspring.
