POPSFeral camels to be fed to crocodiles We were at Docker R in the early 70's and never saw a camel there. Saw a few around central Australia but nothing conpared to the huge increase in numbers. They ruin the fragile desert ecology.

POPSFlying salmon and the myth of baby brain My work load increased during breast feeding, which I thought was natural. If only to allow for the broken sleep. Didn't know about the hormones but guessed it was something like that. (A mate of mine takes a tape recorder to brothels to collect hormones. :) )
