Awwwwwwwww! (And I’m a gay man, so I’m not saying that to get in good with the ladies!)

I know Arun was joking, but I have often wondered what evolutionary basis there is for “cuteness.” I mean, it’s obviously advantageous for us to find our own young adorable, but why do we find things like lion or bear cubs (or adults, even) so cute? They could eat us!

erc: “Butterstick” came from the fact that he was the size of a stick of butter at birth.

Awwwwwwww…. Very, very cute….

How did he get the name Butterstick though?

Possibly. It doesn’t have the same ring to it though. At least not in MY Arnie voice…

so that would be, respectively, a she-woman, woman or \begin{governator} manly-girl \end{governator}??

Apparently some people will go to great lengths to get to see this panda in person... Pandamonium, indeed!

I defy anyone to not Awwwww (or equivalent) at that picture….. Regardless of their motivation….and whether they be he-man, man, girly-man, (whatever those really mean) or the female analogs.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

(breaths)

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

In college I was told that, as a guy, the ability to be Awwww-ed by a cute fluffy animal is a powerful help in attracting members of the fairer sex. They say it has something to do with demonstrating a softer side of yourself, and thus making you more likely to stay in the nest. I don’t know if that is true or not, but….

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

The night before I was born, my Mother paced the house hugging her Panda. Such prenatal influence destined me to a lifetime of Panda passion. I recently discovered that some of my colleagues share this passion (perhaps their Mothers had Pandas too) and last summer we declared the SLAC theory group a Panda-friendly workplace. I’m sure we’ve started a new trend.

Tai Shan's Internet nickname is Butterstick, which I think is much cuter.

Have you noticed the 12 hours of Physics Live, broadcasted by CERN?

I suppose humans finding panda babies cute is an accidental byproduct of evolution?
