Not really true, there are plenty of large brained mammals who not only cannibalise others young but will also eat and fight their own young, including but not limited to chimps, bears and large cats. A female grizzly bear will quite happily eat her own young if it means her staying alive or she doesn't like the way they look.
Nature is red in tooth and claw, don't believe what Walt Disney tells you.
All different from the specific phenomenon of interactions with young that have been raised to adulthood, though. Which is what I was talking about. It would be pretty boring to list all the ones that normally chase them away once they're grown (many/most) and *everything* occasionally ditches or kills a neonate for all sorts of reasons. Mallards seem to specialise in it. Conspecific predation is common as fNature is red in tooth and claw, don't believe what Walt Disney tells you.
k, snails to lions, not I think something Disney covers although admittedly my mental image for Disney is some bird singing about snow and also the original Cinderella, soooo.… 
Don't get me started on sibling cannibalism. Ecologically it's fascinating and an incredibly effective adaptation to get at least one chick through the season, but some things just ain't cricket.
I feel a Jewish joke coming on after reading this discussion about animals and their young.
A Catholic priest, a vicar and a rabbi were debating the point at which human life begins. The priest says:
"Well, we in the Catholic Church take a very strict view on this. We believe that life begins at the moment of conception and is sacred from then on."
The vicar said:
"As Anglicans, were are less severe, and think that life begins at some later stage. There is much discussion, but for instance, we would not object to scientific experiments on embryos up to fourteen days old."
They both turn to the rabbi.
"And when do you think that life begins?"
Without hesitation the rabbi answers:
"When they finish university and leave home!"

Chap's brother dies. He calls the Stamford Hill Gazette to place a notice in the obituary section."What would you like to say?" Asks the operator.
"Leo is dead". He says.
"But Sir, its £1 per word and the minimum charge is £6. You you have three more words to use"
The chap thinks for a bit and says....
"Leo is dead. Volvo for sale"
This is a long shot but it's been bugging me for a couple of days now and I thought this may be the best place to ask as Google hasn't helped so far.
There is a tune that people often tap out, sometimes for good luck, that goes a bit like:
Duh duh Di Di duh, di Di duh duh, duh duh!
The same tune is often drummed at England football matches.
The reason I ask is because some of my American colleagues tapped out this tune the other day as a good luck gesture however nobody knew the origin yet we (a few of us from various countries) knew the tune very well.
Any help for what appears to be a ridiculous question would be appreciated.

I wondered if it was Morse code but can't see any great significance in "2 8".There is a tune that people often tap out, sometimes for good luck, that goes a bit like:

No, I think they mean the one where the drummer does most of the beats and the football crowd chant "England" "City" etc on the last two.
In 4/4 time the beats are on:
1,3
1,2,3
1,2,3,4
2,3
With the 2,3 the "England" shout.
Reckon you've nailed it. (Also, full marks for nice clear notation system!)In 4/4 time the beats are on:

I'm pretty sure that's it although I'd need to hear it to be certain, well done though! In 4/4 time the beats are on:

Thanks for all of the other replies and apologies for bringing this annoying tune to your attention.
I've known this tune ever since I was a child and associated it with football matches as it's played by either a drum or an air horn. My American colleagues have never watched football (soccer as they call it) before however they tap this tune on desks in their US offices for good luck and also claim to have known this tune since the dawn of time.
My question is: where does this tune originate from and therefore how are people from different walks of life aware of it without being able to associate it to a specific song or event?

Why do many Yank cars have "Limited" on the back ?
Is it a reference to trim level ?
Yes.Is it a reference to trim level ?
I believe it's because at one time US trains were sometimes called 'Limited' short for 'Limited stop', IE Express. These were regarded as a more upmarket way to travel so 'Limited' started to mean luxury.

king ambulance" sang behind it. Dunno if the song predates the footie chant or vice versa though.
