That one gene, the researchers are announcing today in the journal Cell, is apparently by itself enough to create patterns of sexual behavior – a kind of master sexual gene [in fruit flies] that normally exists in two distinct male and female variants. In a series of experiments, the researchers found that females given the […]

Ah, fat prejudice: the last one that’s still PC. “…fat people just don’t work as hard or produce as much. I’ll never hire a fat person, and I’ll never say that for attribution. Whether true or not for the overweight population as a whole, I can’t say, but it sure is my experience, and I

No bleeding, no depression, no yeast infections… ah, why, yes! It’s time to hit the road again. Did an experimental jog tonight: slow, short, easy and rather dismal. The second half turned into walk-jog-walk-jog-oh-fuck-it-walk. The IUD started banging at my insides toward the end, just little twinges of occasional cramping. Not bad (I took a
Some people just don’t know when to retire. The red bandanna and the hunter’s knife are back: Sylvester Stallone is set to reprise his role as Vietnam vet John Rambo, 17 years after his last outing. Stallone, now 58, will don combat trousers for a fourth time, this time to slug it out against American
