Ssssnake spotting

Time and money well spent, do you think?
Or is this the silly season, with no end of amazing 'nothing better to do' researches?

Women who have just finished ovulating are better at detecting snakes than at other times of their menstrual cycle, according to an unusual study that sheds light on in-built reflexes for survival.

I vote for Silly Season.

I'd like to talk to whoever funded that research. I'm sure I can come up with an equally fascinating hypothesis worth some $$$$.

Re: Ssssnake spotting

Whatever will they think up next!

Re: Ssssnake spotting

I have to admit I like common garter snakes, corn snakes and other small ones. I used to catch them and handle them when I was young.

Re: Ssssnake spotting

I never had any problem spotting a snake, the best thing to do is not vote for them. I bet those women would have a job spotting this fella in the sand. Just when you thought it was safe to go into the water again

Re: Ssssnake spotting

The cost of this research was - how much???? and the usefulness of the research is ????

Re: Ssssnake spotting

Sounds like someone taking the hiss.

I once read that at this stage in the menstrual cycle a womans sense of taste changes too and bitter things taste more bitter . All to do with the body protecting any possible foetus from poisoning and danger .

Maybe we will be able to dispense with pregnancy test kits soon and use hidden snake instead .
