linkquote: 'Rump presentation'
The Edinburgh team, led by Professor Robert Millar, have been looking at the properties Type 2 Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone.
When it was given to monkeys, they displayed mating behaviour such as tongue-flicking and eyebrow-raising to the males, while female shrews displayed their feelings via "rump presentation and tail wagging".
But the animals also ate around a third less food than they normally would.
Professor Millar hopes to achieve a similar rise in libido and fall in appetite in a pill for women.
I normally don't steal other people's commentary on stuff but this deserves repeating quote:
"rump presentation and tail wagging" - otherwise known as hip-hop dancing?
"The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done"."

What do you say to these facts? It is very weird, but makes you laugh. Do not know what to say! Where did you see this.
