Animals The Erection of Big Birds
Posted by Charles Mudede on Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 8:03 AM
THE scientist who discovered how large birds achieve erection has urged his colleagues not to name it after him.Is he nuts? This is a great honor.
Don't be such a wanker, Logan. Be proud to find your name at the center of male bird's pride and joy.Professor Tom Logan, of the Insitute for Studies, said there was no reason for the process by which ostriches and other large birds pump their genitals full of lymph fluid to become known as 'getting a Logan on'.
Indeed, that's the spirit."It is only fair that Professor Logan should now be immortalised," [said director of institute that employs Logan.] "Myself and all other leading scientists thus decree that a large, sexually-aroused male bird will henceforth be described as 'having a Logan on'. Or as having undergone 'Loganisation' in its phallus.

Good Morning Charles,
I can appreciate Logan's apprehension. Recall a noun "lewinsky" coined by a TV writer (I think?) meaning fellatio or a blow job. And, of course there is the infamous (or famous depending on your point of view?) "santorum".
I wouldn't want Mudede to refer to anything other than a writer, professor and gentleman from Seattle, WA.

Nuh-uh...you made that up. Having not clicked the link I wonder why this only applies to large birds? What kind of size queen metrics define "big bird'"? Are canary erections un-Loganesque?

Most birds are dickless, in which case mating takes place by apposition of the cloacae of males and females. Ratites (ostriches) and anatids (ducks, etc.) and a very few others are the exceptions.

Speaking as a fetching, nubile emu, I have to say I don't find the term 'Loganisation' very arousing.

I fear this is but an Onionesque jape. I believed it at first....
I offer up my idiocy to help others from making the same mistake.

Charles, do you have a Google alert for "bird erections? Actually I would love to see you search alert, I imagine it would be very interesting.

I'd love to see what alerts everyone on the staff has set up. I'll bet there are some real beauts.
