The move comes after conservationists admitted that vital research was being hampered by email spam filters which prevent the exchange of information on species such as the dik-dik, the blue tit and the cock-eared fuckmonkey. Professor Nikki Hollis, a beaver, tit and cock specialist at Reading University, said: "In a world retarded by the proliferation of free internet pornography and the children's magazine Nuts, it is no longer viable for any species to have a name that is transferrable to the male or female genital parts." She added: "Last week I addressed a conference in Geneva on the threats posed by global warming to the natural habitats of the beaver, the booby and the shag. "I then faced a series of what I strongly believe were non-zoological questions, such as 'aren't beavers supposed to be wet?' and 'are the hairiest beavers more waterproof?'" Wildlife bodies have now agreed that tits should be renamed 'skylings', thrushes will become 'horse sparrows' and all varieties of cock bird shall henceforth be known simply as 'Ian'........ <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/environment/zoology-admits-defeat-over-cocks%2c-tits-and-beavers-201003302602/">http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/environment/zoology-admits-defeat-over-cocks%2c-tits-and-beavers-201003302602/</a> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Those who hold and those who are without property have ever formed distinct interests in society.
