Chickens Prefer Beautiful Humans. Suggests that human preferences arise from general properties of nervous systems, rather than from face-specific adaptations, in other words sorry fuglies, it's not socially constructed. N.b this research received a 2003 Ig Nobel Prize.

I think that the necrophiliac homosexual duck rape paper is the standout this year. You can't beat 75 minutes(!) of mallard-pumpin' goodness.

The government also recommends duck rape in the unlikely event of a biological or chemical attack launched by Hanna Barbera dogs.

Studies show chickens prefer beautiful humans who feed them corn and don't decapitate/eat them right away.

For a great read filled with stuff like this, check out Survival of the Prettiest. My favorite factoid: women's faces become measurably more symmetrical during ovulation.

I have no background in this stuff. Does this mean that chickens want to fuck my girl?

so how come those chickens bother with Gonzo? You'd think they'd be frog marching.

Chickens Prefer Beautiful Humans That's because the beautiful people usually live on seafood, steaks and other expensive kinds of meat, thereby saving chickens from the frying pan.

Didja know chickens don't have asses, phoodz? Weird but true. They do, however, have teeth. Briefly.

Possibly everything that reproduces sexually prefers aesthetically pleasing partners and environment, and defines aesthetically pleasing in broadly the same way: symmetrical, 'bright', not worn by time. Which goes for our and their tastes in art and furniture too. Chickens would probably prefer to eat shiny, symmetrical food from a shiny, symmetrical bowl, given the choice.

aeschenkarnos, I'm with you on the first and third aesthetic criteria, but what do you mean by 'bright'?

but what do you mean by 'bright'? Chickens prefer people with a naturalistic worldview.
