Nevjerojatno koliko je snježna mećava ugodnija za bicikliranje od ledene kiše koja je s ove strane Save.

Uf! Ovde u BG na Savi duva i pada sneg tako da glave otpadaju s ramena prolaznika. Gledam sve to kroz ogromne staklene prozore dok se dosadjujem na workshopu.

Kissing as an evolutionary adaptation to protect against Human Cytomegalovirus-like teratogenesis. [Med Hypotheses. 2009] - PubMed result - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed...
"Mouth to mouth sexual kissing is seen in more than 90% of human cultures. As [it] exposes each participant to the diseases of the other, it must confer significant benefit. Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous infection that carries a severe teratogenic risk if primary infection is acquired during certain critical periods. As HCMV is present in salivary gland epithelial cells and sheds from periodontitis induced lesions, female inoculation with a specific male's HCMV is most efficiently achieved through mouth to mouth contact and saliva exchange, particularly where the flow of saliva is from the male to the typically shorter female. The current hypothesis proposes that mouth to mouth sexual kissing enables females to control when they become infected with a particular male's HCMV and so protect their offspring from the threat of teratogenesis from primary infection during vulnerable times in their development."

"Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) were once native to South America. But people have unintentionally introduced the ants to all continents except Antarctica. These introduced Argentine ants are renowned for forming large colonies, and for becoming a significant pest, attacking native animals and crops. In Europe, one vast colony of Argentine ants is thought to stretch for 6,000km (3,700 miles) along the Mediterranean coast, while another in the US, known as the 'Californian large', extends over 900km (560 miles) along the coast of California. A third huge colony exists on the west coast of Japan. While ants are usually highly territorial, those living within each super-colony are tolerant of one another, even if they live tens or hundreds of kilometres apart. Each super-colony, however, was thought to be quite distinct. But it now appears that billions of Argentine ants around the world all actually belong to one single global mega-colony."
