Groan. However, off-topic but interesting, there is at least one species of bat where the males are known to routinely lactate and feed baby bats. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_lactation So just because a feature is an accident of history, doesn't mean that a use can't be found for it. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
