It’s all about sex appeal

Martin Rundkvist has found a new word to seed in blog posts if you want to boost your visitor count. If I ever want to play with my Sitemeter I just add a word that people might search for next to Britney Spears. Bikini seems to be another good word. I can’t help thinking a bikini top and a headscarf aren’t comparable, but that’s his point. I wouldn’t coming from Western Europe.

Inkycircus reports that Tutankhamen is more of a man than Ötzi thanks to scientific examination of his man parts.

Also it’s a double issue of Null Hypothesis this month. Lots of good articles and one very bad one. When you realise that the average height of a Neanderthal man is the same as Tom Cruise a lot of things suddenly make sense. Neanderthal women were Kylie-sized. Probably not one for the RAE.

And finally this should be all over the internet tomorrow. Dolphins ‘have their own names’. It’s published in PNAS, though I can’t find it yet.

I’d admit this last one isn’t about sex appeal, thankfully.
