POPS'bizarre mix of mammal, bird and reptile, with very complex sexuality' The fact that the animal has five X and five Y chromosomes is "the weirdest thing about a very weird animal," said Ewan Birney, a co-author on the paper, based at the European Bioinformatics Institute, near Cambridge. "In theory it means there are 25 possible sexes, though in practice that doesn't happen."

POPSOld news, Good news? Masturbation 'cuts cancer risk' Dr Chris Hiley, head of policy and research at the UK's Prostate Cancer Charity, said "This is a plausible theory." "In the same way the human papillomavirus has been linked to cervical cancer, there is a suggestion that bits of prostate cancer may be related to a sexually transmitted infection earlier in life."

POPSWildlife of Madagascar - pics 2 Avahi occidentalis A western woolly lemur. Scientists have used specially developed software to create detailed maps of how species are distributed on the island down to a per kilometre level 3 Avahi laniger An eastern woolly lemur. Data was collected on the exact locations of more than 2,300 Malagasy species from six major groups: lemurs, butterflies, frogs, geckos, ants and plants 4 Daubentonia madagascariensis An aye-aye. The world's largest nocturnal primate is found only in Madagascar and well known for its unique method of finding food: it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out 5 The Indri indri, one of the largest lemurs. The scientists say the Madagascar model could be used for other biodiversity hot spots around the world by helping scientists to predict where species might go for refuge when habitats are endangered by climate change

POPSDying on American Airlines. No Oxygen!!! "Desir was put on the floor, and a nurse tried CPR, to no avail, Oliver said. A "box", possibly a defibrillator, also was applied but didn't function effectively, he said. "I cannot believe what is happening on the plane," he said, sobbing. "She cannot get up, and nothing on the plane works." Oliver said he then asked for the plane to "land right away so I can get her to a hospital," and the pilot agreed to divert to Miami, 45 minutes away. But during that time, Desir died, Oliver said. "Her last words were, 'I cannot breathe,"' he said. ...Guardian

POPSHUMMERS: End of the Road?! {& pics} "Let's just say they're not selling like they used to," says Neil Kopit, director of marketing at Criswell Hummer, a dealership in Maryland. Sales of the Hummer H1's successor, the slightly smaller H2, were down 27% in 2007 on the previous year, and GM, which had come to rely on its sales of what the industry terms "large vehicles", has announced the closure of four SUV-manufacturing plants in the US, Canada and Mexico. Nor is the decline confined to Hummers, or to America. British registrations of 4x4 vehicles fell by more than 18% last month, it was reported yesterday. The drop is part of a Europe-wide collapse in the gas-guzzler market: as a proportion of cars sold in France and Spain in the first half of this year, SUVs fell by 50% and 35% respectively. ...

POPSWhat the UK REALLY thinks. Warning! Must have a sense of Humour! It is the same idiot now as then. It's a case of the emperor has NO CLOTHS. He never had! It's the same COWARD that is c-in-c now as then. If someone was smart they would stop digging that hole deeper. If they were smart?! I can now say anything, ANYTHING derogatory about AWOL himself and NO ONE will be defending him - except the odd crackpot or religious nut, who still chooses to believe WMDs were in Iraq before the ILLEGAL INVASION. They feel they must, to justify all the dead Americans and Iraqi. What did he say again? "Bring it on". How DEEP will his cave be after 2008, if he doesn't create another 911??? How long before he's boozed up and legless. He's a comic now, imagine him with Jack Daniels! How deep is that hole now? Go on, throw yourself on the mercy of the court. We have a heart, even if...
