What I didn't like about that episode was the immediate Cylon invasion of the network while they were computing the new "jump" coordinates. They didn't seem to think of unplugging the Wi-Fi hub some one left running in the command center.
Growing up on a farm we had a large (about 3 foot) ventilation fan for the milking barn. I always wondered why there always seemed to be a large amount of feathers by that fan. Since the sight of birds flying in and out of the barn was common, and the feathers not uncommon throughout the barn I thought little of the inconsistency. That is until one day I saw a bird get startled and head for the fan as it was the largest hole that seemed to lead outdoors. The fan had a wire mesh screen on it but the holes were largest near the hub where a bird in flight could barely fit through. The bird went full speed for the hole and I could see it tuck in its wings to coast through. A rattle, bang, and a poof of feathers later the bird was gone and a mystery solved.
Birds are not smart creatures. There is a reason for the term "bird brained".
I was wondering that too. I thought they had a more liberal definition of "male" than I did.
If a "male" could produce an egg it would not truly be a male would it? If the male is somehow capable of clearing an egg from its female DNA then that would mean the offspring is a clone of the male. The way it was worded made it sound like the male was capable of reproducing without the assistance of any female.

Maybe it's an excuse given for a lost suit and a not-really-lost-but-called-in-sick cosmonaut.
