    Default Fringe benefits of a Massage

    My old bones have been acting their age recently, so, in advance of the Selai trip, I decided to have a Thai massage. Imagine my surpise to see this whilst blissfully relaxing on the massage table. This is the first Saturnid I have seen on Samui, and their absence had been getting increasingly irritating to me.

    Attacus atlas, or is it a cobra?.

    It looks like Attacus atlas... isn't the Cobra butterfly the same as the atlas?

    Hmmm ...
    Butterfly dogs don't like baths. They only like to puddle... in their own pee!

    The bit about a cobra was meant as a joke, as I showed a close-up of the cobra-like forewing apex. It is most definitely Attacus atlas.

    The text should be amended where underlined

    Humor comprehension in younger adults functions in a different fashion than humor comprehension in older adults. The researchers studied older adults from a university subject pool as well as undergraduate students. The subjects participated in tests that indicated their ability to complete jokes accurately as well as tests that indicated their cognitive capabilities in areas of abstract reasoning, short-term memory, and cognitive flexibility. Overall, younger adults at BC demonstrated lower performance on both tests of cognitive ability as well as tests of humor comprehension than did older adults.

    Even oldman like me knew that Les was referring to the cobra image at the wing tips and was meant it as a joke !
