Dear BERGers, While tidying up in my office I found these extracts from students' answers to the 46AK exam in 2003. Quite amusing! ³There is a number of different ways in which this competition manifests itself. One of these is scrabble competition.² ³Natural selection favours a short life for males.² ³Only very occasionally will the male participate greatly in the copulation period.² ³Such strategies may include use of a sperm plug. Sperm here may block the entrance to the females to ensure no other species can mate with them and beat their sperm to the women¹s egg.² ³Males are more interested in women who have wide hips, a thin stomach and a low waist to hip ratio. This fits with the idea that males don¹t want their child to compete with excess fat during pregnancy.² -- The Sunday Times Scottish University of the Year 2009/2010 The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.
