women's stockings being used to measure whale libidos

Published Oct. 28, 2009

"To see if a whale’s libido is going full-throttle, grab a pair of nylons and head to the ocean, reports the New Scientist:

For the first time, testosterone and progesterone—two key hormones that signal whether whales are pregnant, lactating or in the mood to mate—have been extracted from whales’ lung mucus, captured in nylon stockings dangled from a pole over their blowholes as they surface to breathe."

One has to wonder: since dolphins are even smarter than whales, do they also like 6-inch heels and garters?  Maybe something slinky from Agent Provocateur?  Some Coco Chanel, candlelight and sultry music, perhaps?

Since they don't have hands, how do they put them on? And where?

"Oh, she'll be eating blubber alright, just as soon as I free Willy"

Yeah, hose are a pain without these neat opposable thumbs.

Spike heels, garters, stockings....is this hump day? Whale of a fan of them all! ;)

LoL @ Hist.

One has to wonder why anyone would think those hormones would not be present....they are just mammals like us. As for being the mood that probably works pretty much the same way it does for humans as well. Catch her in a good mood....... :)

I've done the samething with stockings but it wasn't taken from my lungs onto the stockings.

The sad thing is that someone got paid for that research. LOL

That picture with the girl with bare chest beneath the blazer and the purple stockings did something for my libido. Does that mean I'm part whale?
