POPSBizarre Aquatic Creatures Are Secretly "Lesbian Necrophiliacs"
Upon patching up their own DNA, the bdelloids simultaneously incorporate random scraps of DNA from other organisms. This so-called horizontal gene transfer is extremely rare among animals, and in the bdelloids’ case can include DNA from almost anything that was in their soupy habitat at the time things dried up, including whatever they just ate. In only 1 percent of the bdelloid genome, Meselson found dozens of foreign genes from bacteria, plants, and fungi inserted among the native nucleotides. It’s likely, he says, that during recovery from dessication, bdelloids pick up genes from members of their own species, too—dead members, that is, whose genes spill out of ruptured cell membranes. That process would provide the kind of genetic reshuffling that other animals achieve through sexual reproduction. “It may be their form of sex,” Meselson says. “But their partner is essentially dead. So you’d have to call it necrophilia. Actually, since they’re all females, lesbian necrophilia.”

POPSConservatives Angry with Rupert Murdoch But the little people would have none of it. It was the contamination of traditional media by politically hostile elements that bothered them. Why was Al Jazeera shown on BSkyB? And why did BSkyB broadcast Channel 4's Death of a President, which mocks-up the assassination of George W Bush?

POPSCinephiliacs, now Necrophiliacs Antioni and Bergman die on the same day, and while some suggest cinephilia is dead, but I don't know. I'd imagine every college coffeeshop in America will be in a month long state of mourning. Although the majority of the college students who will be wearing black to honor these passed auteurs at the end of the month will return to wearing black just because, we shouldn't view them as culturally irrelevant. In fact, I'm fascinated because Antioni and Bergman have reached beyond merely the people who understand their movies, and even beyond the people who have even seen their movies. As far as I know, a poster of Blow Up or the Seventh Seal just comes with a college dorm room. These two artists have become cultural institutions, and even if it is just momentary, it is them and their art that lends temporary meaning to an entire cultural identity. The ability to do this seems to me one of the most transcendent powers of art.

POPSDemocrat Admits 'Hate Crime' Bill Will Protect 30 Sexual Orientations "So while all these folks would be members of protected classes by law, Christians are most certainly not. And little babies in the womb are definitely not protected. Hey maybe that's an idea, someone add fetal-Americans to the list of protected classes by hate crime legislation. Maybe nobody would notice. Maybe that would be a nice end run around the Supreme Court. What a country, huh? A country with legislators who don't read bills that protects people who like to strangle other people during sex but not innocent children."
