The mystery of why some species of male mammals evolved bones in their penises has finally been solved - and the answer lies in their active love lives.
Biologists used innovative 3D scanning and engineering-inspired computer simulations to solve the case.
It has never been understood why tigers, bears, wolves and others developed a baculum - a mineral stick-like bone through the middle of their penis glans.
Human males are equipped with a ligament that keeps the penis close to the pelvis when flaccid and supports it when erect.
Ryan Tannehill found a lifelong teammate off the field in his wife, Lauren Tannehill. The pair attended the same university but did not cross paths until a spring break trip in 2009. They tied the knot in 2012, the same year Ryan signed with the Miami Dolphins, where the quarterback played until he was traded to the Tennessee Titans in 2019. “We started our marriage, laid our roots, built an amazing community and had our babies there,” Lauren once wrote on Instagram in honor of their years in Florida.
Surprise!
Zoe Saldana, 38, revealed on her Instagram page Saturday that she and husband Marco Perego, 37, have welcomed their third child, a baby boy named Zen.
"Marco and I are elated to share the news of the birth of our son Zen," the Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy actress wrote. "We couldn't feel more blessed with the new addition to our family. #threeboys... oh boy!"
She included a photo of her and Perego's twin sons Cy and Bowie, who she gave birth to about two years ago, playing with their new baby brother.
The image of fashion editors strutting around in sky-high stilettos stems from celluloid caricatures. But really, the best loafers for women are far more realistic. We blame Patsy Stone, Miranda Priestly and Wilhelmina Slater for perpetuating the myth that the fashion pack relies on sunglasses and a supercilious attitude. While we love a pair of vertiginous heels if we're going ‘out out’, and sandals are definitely warm weather favourite, the style set still remain absolutely smitten for flat shoes and loafers.

Billionaire entrepreneur Chuck Feeney who dreamed of giving his entire fortune away has died at the age of 92 in his rented San Francisco apartment.
His death was announced Monday by Atlantic Philanthropies, the foundation he launched in 1982. The foundation was wound up in 2020 when its funds were all donated.
Feeney was a graduate of the Ivy League Cornell University who made his fortune when he co-founded Duty Free Shoppers, a chain of airport stores, along with a college friend, Robert Miller.
Otis, James. It is a rough day for the rhythm,a bad day for the blues when the 73-year-old Etta James and 90(!)-year-old Johnny Otis die within 48 hours of each other. Still, like the internal logic that imbues all good songs, it figures, since Otis, avatar of “Willie and the Hand Jive,” discovered the then-14 year-old Jamesetta Hawkins in a San Francisco hotel room more than 60 years ago. A man with an eye for a hot mama ready to rip it up, it didn’t take Otis but a minute to put Etta on the road with his “Hand Jive” revue, singing kind of dirty songs like “Roll With Me, Henry,” which was changed to “Dance With Me, Henry” to get it on the radio.
