I just found out the reason men have nipples. I read: "While only females have mammary glands, we all start out in a similar way in the embryo, the authors explain. The embryo follows a female template until about six weeks, when the male sex chromosome kicks in. " http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=583&e=3&u=/nm/20050803/od_nm/leisure_nipples_dc So obviously this poses another question, did Adam (you know, from the Adam and Eve story) have nipples? Because if the idea of eve didn't even come until later.. what would the nipples be there for?
maybe humans just looked like something else entirely to begin with... I mean first science decided they didn't have belly buttons, now it's the nipples! what's next?
i have 3 nipples because when the "nipple cells" traveled from my gonads to my chest some were dropped [thats how other placental mammals get the big rows of nipples]
this goes right to which came 1st the chicken or the egg mindless cristians can claim man came 1dst & woman was ripped from his body.. but the truth is 2 almost humans would mate to form the 1st human (same with almost chickens to form the 1st chicken egg) the 1st human almost certainly was female oh common..whos gonna light the fire under my ass? i'm just beggin for it arent i?
You're awesome. My friend has a super huge thumb, never noticed it for years until one time I was bowling with him and a few buddies and everyone was joking about his thumb. It was totally hilarious.
Adam got the nipples from the Ape like creature he decended from. Easy. I work with new mothers and see supernumary nipples all the time. Sometimes they are just little "birth marks" which swell when the milk comes in, sometimes they have their own little breast attached to them. Some womyn have NO nipple on it, but still have the extra breast, under the arm, this can get quite painful with engorgement. We just tell the mamas to leave them alone and eventually the extra breasts stops producing milk, while her two regular ones continue making milk for the baby. Witch hunters used to think that these nipples were for feeding familiars, and poor womyn who had them would be put to death just for their presence. The milk from these is still called "Witches Milk." As is the milk that babies sometimes make right after birth in their own breasts (boys and girls) due to the sudden change in progesterone levels after birth.
Adam probably had nipples so that eve could have some. Or perhaps it was to minor lust in some way...
Adam didn't have nipples at first; he got some later though. When Eve came along Adam said "Hey God, why didn't I get those?" (Adam was rather naive) so God said "well I've got a couple of spare ones lying around that you can have, but they don't really work right" This made Adam happy, and once he found out what they were for he didn't mind at all that they didn't work. This has been a joke, thank you and good night.
I am a man and I used to have lots of nipples. They were on my back, my neck, my chest, and a few other places. Then one day somebody told me that I had something called acne, and eventually they will go away. WHAT A RELIEF! Now days I only have two, and they are on my chest.
I really don't care who came first. Neither should you. You should care about men and women getting along. You should worry about men and women each doing their part to raise a new and healthy generation.
I don't, I've just been bored all summer, I ran across that fun little science fact on some time killing website and thought I'd use it to try to stir up trouble, I'm sorry.
Have you read my threads psychedelic drug pushers and The Axis of Evil Bush Did Not Talk About? Have you read through my website?
If man was created in the image of God, and Adam had nipples, then God has nipples. The number '6' is interesting. I wonder if there might be a correlation between the embryo being female for the first six weeks, and God taking six days for creation?
A paper shredder!? You use your ass hair as a paper shredder!? Have you been drinking nuclear waste? What kind of phucked up ass hair could possibly be used as a paper shredder?
