A retiring high court judge in India explained to reporters why he thought the cow should be designated national animal in place of the peacock, now the national bird of India:

“The peacock is a lifelong celibate. It does not have sex with a peahen. The peahen gives birth after it gets impregnated with the tears of the peacock. A peacock or a peahen is then born.”

This is the brilliant riposte from Mir Laieeq:

“Breaking research: a study conducted on peacocks in india found contact lenses to be 100% effective as the latest form of contraceptive. Human studies to be followed soon!”

Here we thought America had the world’s dumbest politicians, especially when it comes to reproduction.
