A strange thing to learn in Randers, Denmark

The humps on a camel, which I had somehow always imagined as rigid, are in fact wobbly. They wiggle about quite dramatically when the camel shakes itself. I find this peculiarly uncomfortable.

I had also thought they were rigid, but it makes sense that they aren't. Aren't they for fat and water storage? Think of them as breasts whose contents are for internal consumption and it should ease your discomfort.

:-p

DO NOT DO A GOOGLE VIDEO SEARCH ON THE TERMS CAMEL SHAKING! That will _not_ help with discomfort!

That is exactly the analogy that came to my mind, and somehow it didn't help at all. Freud would have a field day.

I completely agree! It was such a shock to me to find this out.
