Reminds me of a public service message video I saw recently about sloths swimming in rivers. Humans often see them and pull them into their boat and take them away thinking they're helping when really the poor cute, ugly guys are just trying to get across the river. Instead they tend to end up far away and probably lost.
Years ago I unintentionally made it a habit to not inhale or exhale when I yawn, yet I still feel the full physiological effects. Without aspiration playing any part in it, the one thing I notice every yawn (even as I type this) is how my eardrums seem to open up a great deal.
As it seems to me breathing actually has little to do with a yawn, I've always guessed that its purpose is to maybe heighten your hearing sense (and maybe others) at least temporarily so when going to sleep or waking so a mammal couldn't be so easily caught off guard around slumber time.
I have always really loved very old photos of Japan. And I'm fascinated by how modern everything tends to look.

That's really what it boils down to: risk management.
People shouldn't be offended and think I'm saying every male who cares for children is likely to abuse them. The simple fact is it's much safer to leave your children with a female than a male because males are biologically much more likely to be sexually deviant and a molester.
It seems many people might just be ignorant to how commonplace abuse is, but many children everywhere are victimized every single day by relatives, family friends, babysitters, strangers, priests, and even other children. And, guess what: in almost all cases the perpetrator is a male who probably appears trustworthy.
Hypothetical analogy for all my dissenters: if you had to leave your child in a room with a Pit Bull or a Labrador, which would you choose? My bet is you'd avoid the Pit Bull. But why?
I voted no. It's not due to blind fear, but sheer biology. As Dr. Drew has urged very emphatically, you should never leave your child in the care of a male. Of course a female could allow harm to come to your child as well, but it's incredibly more likely that a male will cause intentional harm, especially considering the type of psychology any male would have to have just to want to spend every day with someone else's child.
I'm honestly quite surprised at how many voters would be comfortable with it.
Or maybe iPhone apps to oranges.
Btw, "acquired" has a C in it. ;)
What a great idea.
