Besides which the context is in a friends-locked post. So either you an see it, or I can't tell you about it.

And isn't it much more fun to guess?

I'm not answering it, by the way. Damned if I can make a decision on that kind of thing.

Well, reading the context, I still don't think either is especially cool....

[andrewducker]

That's because you, sir, are inextricably wrong.

I didn't see this original post, but is there any contest here?

All whales have breasts, so it's a 2 for 1 deal. Next!

That really is a tough one (see my comment in S's journal)... in the end I voted for whales, but it really is on the same logic as that exercised in my own breasts vs. the animal kingdom poll there, i.e. I never have whales up my jumper. And because I was feeling sorry for the animal kingdom having lost out to breasts in that one as it seems they are in this boy too! Gosh! I really do see how breasts are both powerful and exciting things too, though. Awe-inspiring, even. And other things that people usually say about whales. In fact, I feel a doctored David Attenborough voiceover coming on...


along the lines of the following wiki-tampering, I suppose...
Because of their environment (and unlike many animals), breasts are conscious breathers: they decide when to breathe. All mammals sleep, including breasts, but they cannot afford to fall into an unconscious state for too long, since they need to be conscious in order to breathe. It is thought that only one hemisphere of their brains sleeps at a time, so that breasts are never completely asleep, but still get the rest they need. Breasts are thought to sleep around 8 hours a day.

Breasts exhibit various types of behaviour when they surface. This article describes the different behaviors commonly observed at sea and the possible reasons for the behaviour. Some breasts, such as Sperm Breasts, perform a breach by travelling vertically upwards from depth, and heading straight out of the water. Others, such as the Humpback Breast, travel close to the surface and parallel to it, and then jerk upwards at full speed to perform a breach. In a typical breach, as performed by a Humpback or Right Breast, the breast clears the water at an angle of about 30° to the horizontal. Around 90% of the body clears the water before the breast turns to land on its back or side. In order to achieve 90% clearance, a Humpback Breast needs to leave the water at a speed of eight metres per second. This is close to the breast's maximum speed. It is supposed that other species are also at their limit of power.

Hmm. Yes, quite.

Aliis. Win. I'll make that post public so a wider debate can be held; I do think this sort of thing is in the interest of society.
