Why do guys have nipples?

Seriously. You don't see bulls with udders. So why do guys have this effectively non-functional body part?

Some scientists think it's for the same reason girls have orgasms.
Boys' nipples are just a trait from females that doesn't go away with the boy's development, and since it doesn't influence their survival in any way, they're still there.
There was an article on why girls have orgasms that mentioned this, as girls don't need orgasms to reproduce, so some scientists think it's just a trait taken from boys that was never fully disposed of.

The better question is, why do some guys' nipples lactate?
And if we're on useless body parts, what's with webbed people and that damn appendix?

Actually, I saw something on the Discovery Channel once about how a woman's orgasm can help get the sperm to the egg faster. It's not necessary, but it helps.

When women have orgasms it opens the cervix up to help facilitate sperm travel, also will help the menstrual cycle pass faster.
-------------------- "I celebrate the Earth, my home, my mother, my grave, and as long as men are Man they must, if they would preserve the integrated being, do the same---[and preserve]--this rank casual hungry smelly sweaty lusting transitory body, my oozy pulpy liquid-bag-swollen body, bones, blood, hair glands, my bejeweled sex; I love and celebrate it all. never to let men forget that they are animals as much as gods---that is one thing I shall say."

webbed people are just kind of deformed and the appendix provides subtle help to the immune system

That's from the last millenia.
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2005/04/24/orgasmic_science?pg=full
Scientists have mostly disproved the theories that women have orgasms to help the passage of sperm or such.

When women have orgasms it opens their mind to allowing me to copulate with them again in the future, rather than shaking me off as a lame slouch, helping sperm have more of a chance of eventually traveling to the ovaries, and provoking the process of rebirth for yet another soul. This is the purpose for the female orgasm, that and to give them something to be happy about so they don't bitch incessantly. sorry. I have some issues to deal with. anyway.
The male nipple Is a freak of nature. It's up there with the tonsils, wisdom teeth, and appendix. Except few men have their nipples removed. Too bad, really, that would be an interesting sight. I wanna know why my nipples don't get hard when I'm turned on like a woman's. If I'm gonna have nipples they should at least do something.
I think I'm gonna get a marker and draw smiley faces on my nipples now. There quite possibly could be something wrong with me.
Maybe nipples are our telepathic transmitters. Mental antenna. We don't yet know how to harness the power of the nipple, but someday it's effects will change the world and the way in which we interact with others. Be prepared, the age of the nipple knowledge is coming soon.

Seriously though, We are all the same species male or female. We all start the same its just a bit of code to determine male and female. We have varying traits of both sex.
However much we hate to think it, man & woman are not that much different. Any difference I've ever heard people apply to men can also be applied women and visa versa.

I think males can actually produce milk if need be. That's why we still have nips.

so when we have sex change operations our fake tits don't look rediculous. We need the nipples to pull off the shemale look. This is why god gave men nipples. So they can more easily become fake women.
