This has been bothering me all day since last night. I was reading about Darwin’s controversial and little known theory of sexual selection. According to this theory man has developed ethic trait differences due to sexual selection. For example if your parents are brown-eyed brunettes or if you were reared in a community of brown-eyed brunettes you are more likely to seek out and mate with a brown-eyed brunette people because that is what you consider beautiful. Over time a community will come to resemble itself whether it is they all have a certain skin color, height, nose shape, eye-color, ECT. This is known as the founder effect. Those genes become the ones to dominate and that is what gives the human ethic groups their differences.
The author then writes “Just as some birds of paradise ended up with yellow plumes and yellow hair and others with black plumes, so some human populations ended up with yellow hair and others with black hair, some with blue eyes and others with green eyes, some with orange nipples and others with brown nipples.” My question is just who the hell has orange nipples!?!? Has anyone ever seen orange nipples? Does anyone have them? What ethic group is this? I thought nipples were either some shade of pink or brown. I expect IDE to have the answers.
-
Well of course that after a time, a community is going to start having the same traits, if they get together with one another!
Hmmm just because Darwin said that, that doesn't mean it's true, you know.
And about orange nipples, the poor guy was so old he probably confused colors. Who has brown nipples anyways! There's only one color of nipples!
Actually two if you count pink and beige.
You know, nowadays there are many people arguing that the "Origins of species" is not always right, for example his intermediate-phase fossils theory (fossils that of course haven't yet been discovered). I even wrote a paper about this and read the book( I was, after all, a genetics minor).
In other words, maybe when Darwin saw "orange nipples" he was a lil drunk or a lil old:-p or maybe he was talking about monkeys:-D
-
No, no, no. I'm sorry I didn't properly explain. It wasn't Darwin that was talking about the orange nipples. The book I am currently reading is The Third Chimpanzee. It is about the human spieces and how in short time we have changed from just animals to world conquerors. The author is Jared Diamond and he is the one talking about the orange nipples.
Brown nipples do exist! I've seen them in the locker room.
Sexual Selection theory has nothing to do with Natural selection theory (Origin of Species). Natural selection states that only the fittest (strongest, fastest, smartest, ECT.) survive. Sexual selection states that traits that have no obvious survival value play a role in securing mates. For examples the manes of lions and the tails of peacocks. Why do some men prefer blonds? Blond hair is useless in the struggle for survival.
I believe Darwin's natural selection theory. I haven't formed an opinion on sexual selection theory. This is the first I heard of it. Never came up in any of college biology class.
If anyone has not yet read Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel, I highly recomend it, BTW.

Who has orange nipples?, seriously
This has been bothering me all day since last night
I found that unintentionally funny.
Brown nipples do exist! I've seen them in the locker room.
Pervert!
-

My mom. Ha! Take that, pinky!
-
All Irish women have orange nipples.

Yeah but then think about what the "sexual selection theory" will mean in the future. If you think about it, we , in a "couple of years" or more(hundreds and hundreds of years...or maybe less, who cares, it won't affect us), will end up looking like what nowadays are called the "aliens". Have you thought about that before? We would look androgenous, i.e. Michael Jackson
-
Ehm I forgot to add, men don't prefer blonds. Unless they want to fuck a cheaper blow-up doll.
edit: i said cheaper cause blondes are dumb.(vox populi en facto)
-
o.o
Were you spying on me?! *hides*
-
I bet she has orange nipples:
-
Nope, ruby red.

OKay, I let part of that load before I decided to pass. I'm planning to eat dinner soon dammit. Was there an alien coming out of that nipple or what?
-
No, it was just a nipple with an orange slice around it.
-
Ha ha. As it was loading I began to see a nipple with tentacles and I panicked. :lol: I thought it was gonna be some medical monstrousity like my aunt's gigantor back-cyst.
-
Mine are bright purple.

Dude shut-up! :P
Where the hell is IDE?!?!
-
My money's on one of his hook-ups drugging him and stealing his kidneys.
-
Bald Bouncer Convention?
-
Also a possibility. Maybe they had a booth at Comic Con.
-
I just had an image of a guy dressed up as Green Lantern with a Wonder Woman Cosplayer on his arm stopping to look at the booth and then 14 guys, all of which sound exactly like Andrew Dice Clay, telling them to get lost cause they aren’t on the list.

I think we all know it's that he is grounded by Mommy and Daddy.

Ahh the elusive (but deadly) orange nipple. It was a hot summer night in '02 when I caught one unawares...it smashed my left index and middle finger to a pulp when I attempted to touch it before vanishing into the night.
My advise is to proceed with caution.
-
Orange Nipple, I choose you!!
-
All Irish women have orange nipples.
Not the redheads. That would so clash.

Ah man I was hoping it was the redheads and my question would be answered.
**beats IDE** What bloody use are you man?
Hey where the dude that bedded the 200 hundred women. Maybe he knows.
I really don't want to write to the author and ask him. <_<
-
ouch!
fine! I have sent you a pm containing the only photographic evidence of an orange nipple ever recorded.
-
I remember a poll back in the day, in Beast Mayhem, in which Merla revealed that she had 'peps'.
-
Peps? FTW?

Ha ha, Lynch. You want his e-mail? "Dear Travis, I am doing a scientific study on the elusive orange nipple. It is a vital part of my research!" Tar har. Seriously, you should try writing the author.
-
Peps? FTW?
Pepperoni nipples.
-
EW!
-
You mean like the color of peperonni or what?
-
I dunno. I didn't dumpster-dive for details, but it's most likely a size issue.
-
silver dollars
-
Not that I've seen them or anything, but I don't think that sounds right. Wires probably got crossed, tits hotwired, whatever.
-
No sir, I remember being horrified, then delighted by the humor, upon reading such a detail. Where's Blanktoe? Surely he remembers this!
-
Half of what Merla types gets lost in translation with her actual meaning. But yes, let us be finding the Blanktoe.
-
Blood hell! What are you ppl talking about?!? Zero you are sadly mistaken. :blink:
-
Blood Hell! Blood Hell! Blood Hell!!
-
I don't remember that. Course most of my Mayhem days are a blur nowdays. I remember that "Thrust toy" was kinda a running joke for awhile....and that "Norm!" thing from the chat.
-
You can only get the truth out of her by being exceedingly delicate. Like this:
MERLA, DO YOU HAVE "PEPPERONI NIPPLES"? BY THIS IT IS MEANT, DO YOU HAVE NIPPLES WHICH HAVE THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE OF SLICES OF PEPPERONI AS ARE FOUND ON YOUR TYPICAL PIZZA?
And now we wait.
-
My eyes are blind, as my ears would be deaf!
-
HAH.
-
You know I'm getting pretty hungry with all this talk about pepperoni.
-
I demand photographic proof.
-
How can someone have nipples the size of pepperoni? Maybe women that are breast-feeding...then that would make sense. Merla, do you, or have you ever breastfeeded? :joe:
-
which pepperoni? Lunchmeat pepperoni or pizza pepperoni? Cuz mine are a lil smaller than pizza size.
-

If she did, it wasn't no baby. :x
-
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Maybe she should go Jerry Springer and enlighten us all.
-
I just saw her come to my board today. Why didn't she answer this? Don't ignore us!!
-
Aereola...Aereeeeoooollllla
-
I bet she's completely forgotten about this.
-
Okay, so she accidentally flashed me yesterday and they aren't peps. At least not ol' lefty.
-
No one can "accidentally flash" someone else. She wanted you to see 'em boobs!
-
:lol: It was an accident. Dude, you weren't there.
-
indeed ;)
-
Now I see why you're being accused of incest.
-
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Thanks god I've never seen my sister's boobs. Well she doesn't have any to start with.
