Dr. Rat Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Well in order for this to happen, there first would have to be a mutation giving certain folks the cd wrapper talon. Then there would have to be selective pressure which favored the wrapper talon equipped over the non-equipped. In other words the talon equipped would have to have more children on average than the non-talon equipped. So, in the best traditions of social biology and evolutionary psychology, we should start dreaming up scenarios where the talon would help you get lucky or fend off predetors that threaten to shorten your reproductive years. Just so stories, anyone? --eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 I put that one in my recently started humor thread. In fact, in this thread, there is mention of a certain technique for removing the sticker that I try to clarify. You might appreciate it.

If this would require the average woman preferring men with obsessive-compulsive Cd-buying habits, I'd say the plan is S.O.L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Is it going to get into that "My talon is bigger/longer than your talon"? B-) Women will want to "breed" with men with "big talons" and thus will the trait be "propagated." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 So large - and "unwrapped" - CD collections will be a desirable trait in men? Yee-haw! Finally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-) Women will want to "breed" with men with "big talons" and thus will the trait be "propagated." Women will just paint their already long and sharp nails and laugh amongst themselves about how guys just don't get it, that if all they needed was a long talon, they'd do it themselves, with thier nails.

Women will just paint their already long and sharp nails and laugh amongst themselves about how guys just don't get it, that if all they needed was a long talon, they'd do it themselves, with thier nails. first, no woman who prides herself of her long nails enough to paint them gloriously red is likely to start ripping open sealed disks with said nails. ruining both her nails and the gloriously red polish. second, women who want long nails to paint them gloriously red would chose to mate with guys with big talons for ripping stuff open for two reasons. She wouldn't have to rip anything open herself, plus her daughters are likely to have sturdier and longer nails to paint gloriously red. Also because their dads would be ripping open all the stuff for them all the time. In the end, it all hinges on the value of long gloriously red fingernails in the struggle for life and reproduction. A trait in women, mind you. It may well be that the evolution of trait of the talon with men depends on the reproductive success of women with long and gloriously red nails. Amazing, isn't it?
