"We saw striking and measurable differences in more than half of the genes' expression patterns between males and females," said co-investigator Thomas Drake, M.D., a UCLA professor of pathology. "We didn't expect that. No one has previously demonstrated this genetic gender gap at such high levels."

I’ve been looking for more info on all this Farrakhan/Nation of Islam UFO stuff, and it appears to actually be legitimate. Um, legitimate insofaras they actually seem to teach it as part of their religion, that is. I guess I’m just surprised by all this because Farrakhan was so prominent in the news in the 90’s (Million Man March, anyone?) that you’d think all this fucking UFO stuff would have really haunted him. I guess in the end though the racism was probably a more hot-button issue even than UFO’s.
Expect the Great Whale Uprising any day now…
Killer quote:
Around 80 tourists had paid to go out on a whale-watching boat from Andenes, in northern Norway. Called "whale safaris" locally, the whale-watching has become an increasingly popular tourist attraction in recent years. While the tourists were admiring one of the great mammals of the sea, however, a Norwegian whaling boat approached and shot the whale in front of their eyes.
…with the frogs as the whales’ infantry.
Killer quote:
"For the first time in modern history, because of the way that humans are impacting our natural world, we're facing the extinction of an entire class of organisms," said Claude Gascon of Conservation International. "This is not the extinction of just a panda or a rhino, it's a whole class of organisms."
