POPSGenetics Show How Prehistoric Cultures Migrated & Shared Knowledge The researchers tracked genetic variation on the Y chromosome, the sex chromosome passed from father to son that encodes maleness, using a technique now widely used that was developed in the early 1990s by Underhill and colleagues in the lab of Luigi Cavalli-Sforza, professor emeritus of genetics. The method has given scientists a powerful window into ancient human migrations and prehistoric cultural shifts. The technique has also been adopted by some commercial genealogy services that offer Y-chromosome testing to the public.

POPSAldous Huxley - Select Quotes I usually dislike to clip quotes, but this web site was simply irresistible :-) And a last one... "Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful."

POPSThe hymen - evidence of nothing! This subject came to mind when I read about the woman who was divorced recently because her husband concluded she was not a virgin. Evidence suggests there is no accurate physical indicator of virginity. Just like you, buddy!

POPSGay Smoochie Sparks 911 Call "Yes, they sent a patrol car down there, and the officer, after calling his superior (the Birmingham PD was in on the 20/20 experiment) backed down, but told the couple Just don’t do that in public. The remarks of two Birmingham women passersby when 20/20 has a lesbian couple sit on the bench are predictable. That’s below the fold. When Leslie and Ashby sit, hold hands and snuggle, two local women volunteer their thoughts about the PDA: “I just don’t want to see the same sex kissing.” “It’s not what we say, it’s what God says. The chances of them going to heaven may not be very good if they continue this lifestyle.” Am I surprised? No. There are definitely some places in my home state that I would NEVER do a public display of affection with another woman. However, I can easily do the same display of affection with my husband and that is what bothers me. It all comes down to what is acceptable to society. What a shame.

POPSI believe "I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck. I believe that anyone who says sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it." Neil Gaiman

POPSParkinson's Medicinal Treatment Turns Men Gay? I really have no particular opinion on this story as my knowledge of these matters is rather limited. But frankly, this is the first I ever heard of such a reaction from this kind of medication. Does anyone have any further information of a personal or clinical nature?

POPSSex - The Secret Gate to Eden The great, secret, universal truth to everything is... *wait for it* ... the orgasm!! "Only for the initiated", but it applies to ALL religions (apparently.) "To reach unification with the divine, one must... " Naaah, watch it yourself. *LOL* It's a pretty good video though, it sounds really *holy*. Are YOU prepared to receive this hidden knowledge? Haha. :p *sigh* So many religions, so little time.

POPSGay Marriage - Accepted Tradition in the Past The more we investigate, the more we discover. Homosexuality is not something that just sprang up in the last century. It is documented all throughout history. I thought we were supposed to learn from the past?
