Hmm... did the writer do this deliberately or not?

oook, he said tits. no, he said great tits. Perhaps it could have been worded differently so that the boobs out there didn't giggle too much. I know someone that I could ask if it is true. A funnier headline leads into the quiz: "Could fat on your derriere be a good thing after all?". Now that's funny but makes me feel much better about my expanding great derriere..

Ummm, "Great tit" is the proper common name for the European equivalent of North America's "Black capped chickadee". Great tits are one of the most commonly studied birds in field based animal behaviour research, thousands of scientific papers have been written about Great tits.

Hmm.. I prefer our names here (in the UK). Where is the amusement value in pointing to a bush and saying 'nice black capped chickadees'.
