Years ago when I was conducting my doctoral research on the evolutionary history of men among a remote indigenous community of hunter-gatherers living in the forests of South America, I came across a man donning a well-worn baseball cap likely donated by missionaries. The cap read, “There are three stages to a man’s life: Stud, Dud, Thud.” Indeed. It is somewhat sobering to see one’s life’s research summarized on a piece of headwear that can probably be found for a few dollars at a roadside truck stop. But such is the elegance of interesting science.

“Stud, Dud, Thud”. I like it. I wonder what the female version would be. “Mum, Glum, Shtum” ?
(I still haven’t worked out why it now takes so long to access your web page – and the comments)
I’m afraid I don’t know because I don’t have that problem. Do you have problems with any other blog?
No, just yours for some reason. It was fine until about two weeks ago, then suddenly it took ages to load your page, access comments, or post a comment.
Hilarious indeed.
