Apparently right now China is using so much steel that there is somewhat of a shortage, so many of the products at work that my mom normally receives within 4 weeks of ordering will not be arriving for at least another 16 weeks. Interesting.

Also, can anyone tell me why guys have nipples? I just don't get it.

Evolutionary relic.

I can't think of any mammals that lactate off the top of my head. If you give a human male the right hormones you can cause lactation. Not much, but some.

To add on to that, you don't even have to add hormones - given enough pressure (out of survival, etc.) and the proper hormonal balance some men can lactate naturally.

that thought amuses me greatly

I cannot lactate naturally though.

guys have nipples because all fetuses (male and female) develop the same up until a certain point, then horomones stimulate the appropriate alterations, and the fetus becomes male or female.

Yeah I found that out. I guess I kind of knew that already.
