Evolution

GF is staying in a fine country hotel in Malvern. One of the vicissitudes of such trips is watching breakfast TV. As the GF's eyes cleared this morning he pondered the ongoing evolution of mankind, and how the human race adapts to new challenges.

The latest adaptation apears to be the development of homo televisiens which has adapted to life as a TV newsreader. Knowing that most of their life will be spent in close focus head shots, their heads have grown huge, and their bodies shrunk. This seems particularly prevalent among the female news readers, whose shoulders are barely wide enough to hold their arms.
