Virgin Birth...of a Baby Shark

A miracle of birth in the NYTimes today. A shark gives birth to a sharktot and without the help of any males. A shark of the species bonnethead. Rather apt. It's called parthogenesis. As in, this shark has no daddy:It's not a lesbian thing, but more of a Virgin Mary vibe, in which nature sees fit to let girls have babies without boys. But never has a shark done so before. Sort of like a single mom just producing her own tot minus boyfriend or baster. A single mom with a bonnet. Go chick-sharks! Get yo' bonnet ON! (What the heck am I talking about? I do not know.)

Crabmommy loves me a good silly science story. I have had an abiding interest in silly science for quite a while. For example, I have written about abusive raping dolphins, bizarre moles with star-shaped noses-that-are-also-hands, and caterpillars that can hypnotize ants...but I'm not linking to that one because that magazine, called SEED, is just bursting with editorial foolishness and grammatical feebleness.

There. My first nasty personal moment on C-mommy. In my blogocratic oath, swore I wouldn't, but as you all know, she not only a crabber and shameless self-promoter, but a hypocrite-mommy too! Question of the week: Does that make Crabtot a hypocritter?

Oh my God, I just punned. It has come to this, people. Never read blogs with puns in them. Go away now! I beg you. Stop looking at me! I don't want you to see me like this. REMEMBER ME AS I USED TO BE!

GO! GO! (Or at least, go here, where I have a new and punless post today.)
