NL on breasts:

• In other words, division of labour made nulliparous breasts possible.
• The nipple is not placed for efficient feeding. When tapping a barrel, one does not put the tap half way up the barrel.
• Men’s lust for breasts could be one of the scars of evolution – a thing which is not optimally efficient, but the result of the particular path which brought us to the present.
• Large breasts could therefore act as a peacock’s tail, by advertising a handicap.
• Non-lactating breasts are like nuclear missiles – we only need them or want them because other people have them.
  

NL on dancing:

• Bruce Lee, hailed by many as the finest martial artist ever, was Hong Kong’s Cha-cha champion.
• Fear evolves to stop us from doing things which might harm our ability to pass on genes. For a man, therefore, dancing does require courage.
