WHAT A CATCH!

But that's not what today's entry is about. It's about butterflies and humans. So why wouldn't I put a picture of a bear?

You see, it's easy to see where a bear is able to taste. Just like us. Not so with the lovely butterfly. The mouthless butterfly has to rely on another body part for taste sensation. Don't read another paragraph before you guess, and no it's not through the antennae.

If you couldn't wait; if you forged ahead, you found the answer, but I'll drag it out to this line--the feet. That's right: that's where their taste buds are.

Now the application. If humans taste were in their feet, think of the possible repercussions. How could wine ever be made by stomping grapes? How sticky would floors be at the places that offer free samples of ice cream? Would we have to use mouth wash on our feet? Would people with bigger feet eat more? And when you had to throw up, would it be with one foot or two?

Ok, that's it. No more exploratory realms for me. One more: I lied. Mouth-to-foot resusitation? Nope: foot to foot.
