POPSIg Nobel prize: Fertile strippers make more money; Coke kills sperm What some people consider to be serious research. Sigh. Some lap dancers have scheduled shifts based on this research. About the Coke thing, the professor of obstetrics and gynecology does not recommend using Coke for birth control or to cure babies of colic, toughen your pooches paw pads, dissolve the rust off your car’s bumper or quench your thirst. It does make good Mentos rockets, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKoB0MHVBvM

POPSBirth Control Pills Make Women Less Attractive...No seriously! From the Article: "Two researchers have reviewed the body of research on the effects of birth control pills on both women and men’s perceptions of attractiveness, and have come to some provocative conclusions. Women on the pill are less attracted to hyper-masculine men, they found, and don’t show the typical propensity towards men who are genetically dissimilar from themselves. In addition, women on the pill may lack the attractiveness edge that’s associated with ovulation, the study found."

POPSYet Another Utah Organization Harming Humanity "Inappropriate and unnecessary"? How so, Eagle Forum? You actively oppose abortion, too, so what happens when kids who are ignorant about birth control get pregnant? Right now IS "the right time." I see the slogan "Leading the pro-family movement since 1972" at the top of your Web pages. You mean that in more ways than one, apparently.

POPSDiscussion is a Good Thing It's time to turn the lights on. Don't let religion hide under its cloak of "un-critizablility". It is nothing but a set of ideas and like any idea is subject to being questioned.

By the next day her left leg had turned purple. The woman was generally in good health but was slightly overweight and had decided to diet. Three days before falling ill, she had begun a crash diet which included eating 225g of grapefruit each morning, after rarely eating the fruit in the past.

POPSWhat the Pope really said about AIDS and condoms
“I would say that this problem of AIDS cannot be overcome with advertising slogans. If the soul is lacking, if Africans do not help one another, the scourge cannot be resolved by distributing condoms; quite the contrary, we risk worsening the problem. The solution can only come through a twofold commitment: firstly, the humanization of sexuality, in other words a spiritual and human renewal bringing a new way of behaving towards one another; and secondly, true friendship, above all with those who are suffering, a readiness - even through personal sacrifice - to be present with those who suffer. And these are the factors that help and bring visible progress. “Therefore, I would say that our double effort is to renew the human person internally, to give spiritual and human strength to a way of behaving that is just towards our own body and the other person’s body; and this capacity of suffering with those who suffer, to remain present in trying situations.

Conspiracy theories are even suggesting that there are forces at work to make sure massive food shortages will be manipulated to ensure survival in the western world.

POPSBush's Last-Minute 'Conscience' Rules Cause Furor "For example, Richards said, many states currently have laws requiring that rape victims treated in hospital emergency rooms be offered the option of taking emergency contraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy. But she said that because providers who don't believe in emergency contraception could now simply opt not to tell women about that option, "under this rule, we believe that in fact now women who are the victim of sexual assault either would not be guaranteed either information or health care access to emergency contraception."" ""This rule is an appalling insult and abuse — a midnight power grab to deny access to health care services and information, including even to victims of rape," Blumenthal said.""

POPSWhy religion is outdated, and dangerous. I find it most disturbing. On the verge of development that will prolong life with less illnesses, and will increase the degrees of freedom and responsibility a so called 'prolife' religious mass is trying to take us back.
