Sorry, Mags, never heard of it.

Well, I've never seen it nor eaten it.

If you like grass-fed beef, you'll probably like buffalo. Just don't overcook it.

I always say only time I spent in NY State was a few minutes in a Buffalo BK... Was on way to Canada.

BK? Are we talking Burger King? And was it 'turn left and head for Hamilton'?

Albuquerque? Albuquerque? And, please, stop calling me Bugs Bunny. I can't help it if my ears are a bit floppy. It happens at my age.

Proper mozarella is made from water buffalo milk. Cow milk is a passable substitute.

Bison (buffalo) is readily available in all our supermarkets in Canada; there's a bison farm not far from my neighborhood. I first had it at Mt. Rushmore as a stew. Good burgers as well. The steaks and roasts can be a little chewy.

I remember the shock when I read (in a mag, comic, or something with pages like that) that it was truly spelled "opossum"...

Now, should it ever come up in a conversation (not sure it ever has), I will be sure to pronounce it "opossum"...

As in "How long has it been since you've seen opossum?!"

When Dame Edna says: 'Hello, Possums,' she/he is borrowing from the Australian possum which is a completely different animal from the North American opossum - often known simply as 'a possum'. So, by all means, pronounce it 'opossum' - but not if you happen to be in Australia.

The Virginia Opossum is the first marsupial the British came across. Its bifid penis left the newcomers imagining that opossums engaged in nasal sex, since the nose was apparently the only two-holed orifice available.

Australian marsupials also have bifid penises, and the females have three vaginas: one for each head of the penis and the third for the fetus to descend, so lets hear it for...

the Great Grey Kangaroo Mother,

liberator of all Australian mammals from their primeval vegetative states.

You what, my dear ?

And having explained all that, could you please explain why some animals have bones in their penises and others don't?

The general wisdom is that the baculum allows for more rapid and more frequent sexual intromission, and was thus of value for species where males would benefit from this ability. The bone is usually in the abdomen at rest, but rapidly extended to create an instant erection when opportunity presents itself. Other species, including ourselves, presumably have the luxury of waiting for a hydraulic erection.

But this may merely be the imaginings of functionalist biologists...


Hi Mer! I'm off to London to present a paper next month; want to come?

I don't know that I've seen a functioning biologist in years. However, I certainly prefer them to the non-functioning ones, who have no excuse when they fail to show up for an appointment they set months ago.

Of course I'll come, especially if you keep explaining functional biology to me. I'm of the opinion that the details make all the difference, and one has to be very hands on to get the benefits.
