Milkmen

…the human embryo normally exhibits a “hyperthelia,” an excess of breasts, of which, however, two only normally undergo development; moreover, the breasts of the male, which are now in a state of arrested development, were formerly better developed, and served, like those of the female, the purpose of nourishing the offspring.

Male breastfeeding. Via MetaFilter.

(God knows how many more strange people will end up here atfer this.) Now all we have to do is figure out how to give birth, and I can have a husband and kids.

But he’ll suckle them. I don’t fancy wearing a bra. Or having slippy–nipple.
