Most Ridiculous Item Of The Day (so far)

 

1. Sounds kinda FISHY to me…

   At least it’s better than having THIS happen to you:

   

   Talk about having a real bad day at work…

2. Many plants and quite a few reptiles and amphibians can change their sex if necessary. Fish could have this ability too, maybe we just haven’t noticed it until now? Besides, what’s in the water around DC that could be the contaminant - bullshit runoff?

3. Come on don’t you know that science was going to have to come out and make homosexuality a genetic thing - they have to prove it, just so the rational and sane among America won’t make it a mental disorder again.

   And yes Drew, many of the lesser forms of life do switch (particularly in bad condition years) and/or are asexual, and so on and so on. Doesn’t mean it translate to humans - and we are forgetting that and that the pollutants might, just might be the cause of the problem or even the ‘good’ stuff (you know food coloring, preservatives and other ‘approved’ additives).

   Science is becoming a joke and since the AMA has sold it’s soul to phramacorps so is medicine. Maybe the end of the world is coming soon. Got to get the hubby to that gun show this weekend - we need to add a couple, just to be safe.

5. I did some research on this subject at University. One of the chemicals thought to be responsible comes from a group called phthalates. They are used in the plastics industry to make plastic more flexible, such as cling film etc. The suspicion is these compounds end up in the food chain and have for example resulted in men producing lower sperm counts than say 50 years ago etc. Besiodes causing the problems with male fish as detailed above.

   Perhaps Major Jack D Ripper was right after all and we should keep our essence pure!

6. We’ve known about bass for some time now, I suspect this intersexed state is something new.

   Something really scary for the guys. In some men it appears that taking Lipitor for high cholesterol can trigger a spontaneous sex change. Ask Zoe E. Brain (nee Alan E. Brain) about it. Genes are involved somehow.
