Thong Wearing is a Health Risk
Doctors Would like to Banish the Thong

Who knew? I was devastated. I turned forty, needed a mammogram, bifocal glasses, anti-wrinkle products, a fiber supplement, and now granny panties?

Sure enough, I found out through my research that doctors are concerned about the health implications of wearing thong underwear. Recurrent vaginal infections are more common in thong wearers. The string part can inflame the skin, leading to thrush which is a yeast infection of the skin that thrives in warm, moist environments. Another concern is bacteria can travel along that little string from the rectum to the vaginal area. Everyone knows that you wipe from front to back, not the other way around, so wearing thong underwear defeats that purpose. The chafing that occurs can negatively impact the whole genital area and leave the area more susceptible to infections. Bladder infections and urinary tract infections are more common in thong wearers, too.

In the Natural History Museum in London there is a rock hyrax sitting right next to an elephant, even though the info is all "we don't know for sure whether they're actually related". Yeah, Natural History Museum - try saying that to the hyrax's face.

But it sings:

Arik Kershenbaum and colleagues at the University of Haifa and Tel Aviv University have found something more surprising. Hyraxes’ songs have something rarely found in mammals: syntax that varies according to where the hyraxes live, geographical dialects in how they put their songs together. The research was published online Wednesday in The Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Bird songs show syntax, this ordering of song components in different ways, but very few mammals make such orderly, arranged sounds. Whales, bats and some primates show syntax in their vocalizations, but nobody really expected such sophistication from the hyrax, and it was thought that the selection of sounds in the songs were relatively random.

Hyraxes are common in Africa and the Middle East, and there are quite a lot of them where Mr. Kershenbaum lives. He kept hearing their songs and thinking, “I simply don’t believe that these complex songs can be totally random.”

So he and his colleagues recorded hyraxes around Israel and analyzed the makeup of the songs using mathematical techniques drawn from genetic analysis. They found a complex syntax that did vary. They suspect that the dialects may be carried by males when they leave their home territory as they mature, and that changes in dialect come as other hyraxes copy the songs imperfectly or improvise.

Their songs are not like those of birds, as you might imagine by the way scientists have broken down the notes, or syllables, of hyrax arias. The five kinds of sounds are the “wail,’ ‘chuck,’ ‘snort,’ ‘squeak’ and ‘tweet.’ ”
