My illusions are shattered

[Carl Clifford <>]

Dear All,

I was brought up to believe that the natural world was pure and ,  
well, natural, not at all affected by such deviant perversions that  
H.sapiens was prone to. My illusions have been been completely  
shattered this week. First homosexuality among many species, then  
homosexual misgegenation in birds, then tonight on Catalyst, on the  
ABC of all places, I discover that Adelie Penguins indulge in  
prostitution. Apparently some female Adelies exchange their favours  
for stones from strange males, so as to enhance their nest.
What is nature coming to? And then I find out about Bonobos! Oh dear.
