So, do you want your mate to be promiscuous?

So wouldn't one want the biggest bat brains to also produce and distribute the most sperm? I mean if one were in charge of evolution.

It goes without saying that "Outrageously Big Testes" WBAGNFARB.

Reading the blog headline I thought it would be about a new Broadway play for those who thought the songs in "Cats" didn't hit enough high, screechy notes.

So big testes + small brains = aimless swarming around in the dark, bumping into things?
Yep...that sounds about right.

Is going to start using the insult "dingbat" much more now.

It's shrinkage!

Evolutionary trade off: brain or sperm.
We are doomed.

Sort of like hybrids/SmartCars vs SUVs and jacked-up pickups with rubber testicles hanging from the hitch, eh?
Posted by: Clown Puppy | January 02, 2009 at 10:46 AM
Haven't we all known guys like this?
Posted by: Siouxie | January 02, 2009 at 10:55 AM
Ok....blog-guys line up!

Posted by: queensbee | January 02, 2009 at 11:06 AM
Holy Statistical Fluke, Batman!
Posted by: Robin at Division | January 02, 2009 at 11:16 AM
I Google-imaged bat testes. Kind of wish I hadn't.
See for yourself.
Posted by: Cat R | January 02, 2009 at 11:31 AM
so if the bat testes aren't 'fair and balanced' do they fly around in circles?
Posted by: insomniac | January 02, 2009 at 11:34 AM
do they wobble to and fro?
Cat, uh...no.

When an apple fell on Newton's head, he thought of gravity.
What the hell were these guys thinking? Did they get bat-smacked twice in the dark and say, why did that one hurt me more than the other one?
And yay, Siouxie finally got posted!

Well humans do on average have smaller testicles than chimpanzees, but bigger ones than gorillas.

Doctor: "Ok, now turn your head and cough."
Bat: "SQUEAK!"
Doctor: "Oops. My hands are cold today. Sorry."

It's all the females fault. I know that when I'm around promiscuous females my brain is less in control than my testes.
In species with promiscuous females, the males had evolved larger testes but had relatively small brains.
In species where the females were faithful to their mates, the correlation was reversed.
Posted by: Frederic | January 02, 2009 at 12:24 PM
Well hellooooooo, ladies...
Posted by: Siouxie | January 02, 2009 at 12:34 PM
um...warning...nsfw..etc.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 02, 2009 at 12:35 PM
Siouxie, I knew you'd look.
Posted by: Cat R | January 02, 2009 at 12:41 PM
*guilty*
Posted by: Siouxie | January 02, 2009 at 12:43 PM
He looks pretty proud of himself, eh? Pointing to it, and all.
Posted by: Cat R | January 02, 2009 at 12:43 PM
I actually Googled "bat penis" and viola! Was that what came up (heh!) for you too? LOL
And yeah...he's saying..."I gotcher testes right here!"
Posted by: Siouxie | January 02, 2009 at 12:45 PM
Why, yes, it did.
All in the name of blog research.
Posted by: Cat R | January 02, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Whoa! They aren't just equipped; they're fully loaded!
*eyes bat*
*bats eyes*
Posted by: Betsy | January 02, 2009 at 12:55 PM
Siouxie - They have to be careful flying too close to tree branches. That's why you often see them hanging upside down.

*Wonders why someone with Brainy in his name would dare comment on this post*

QUOTE
Of all mammals, bats have the widest range of testes mass: between 0.12 percent and 8.5 percent of body mass.
UNQUOTE
An adult human male having a testes mass of 8.5% would have approx. 14 lbs of testes!!
Posted by: Dr. Doug | January 02, 2009 at 01:45 PM
We're gonna need a bigger cup.
Brainy, I can SO picture that happening LOL
Posted by: Siouxie | January 02, 2009 at 01:52 PM
could someone read this to me? I'm too dumb..
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 02, 2009 at 02:28 PM
Nice try, Jazzzz. Unfortunately, we know you're quite smart.
Posted by: Cat R | January 02, 2009 at 02:39 PM
Remember the monthly pictures of "Bat-Boy" the Enquirer used to run? Just wondering...
Posted by: Robin at Division | January 02, 2009 at 02:44 PM
So much for the "dreaded" BWS (Bat Wing Syndrome).
Posted by: PirateBoy | January 02, 2009 at 03:55 PM
lol @ meanie
*checks pants*
"Dang. I had better be a genius."
Posted by: Brainy Jello | January 02, 2009 at 05:33 PM
Thanks, Dr. Doug. You always have good information.
...So do you think that particular bat had a 'fluffer', or is that a steady-state condition?
Posted by: Betsy | January 02, 2009 at 09:08 PM
All I know is when I watch "The Daek Knight" now I begin to laugh at the mention of the "Bat Pod".
