Headline of the week!


Every now and then a headline catches my eye, something so startling as to rivet my attention on the article it advertises. You can imagine the impact when I spotted this one over at Environmental Graffiti:


SCIENTISTS CREATE LESBIAN WORMS


I mean . . . WTF??? Hey? Come again? Aren't all worms hermaphrodites? Who took out the 'herm' and left the 'aphrodite'?

The article's fairly short, and describes how genetic manipulation altered the sexual preferences of the worms concerned. Nevertheless, with a headline like that, it deserves wider - one might almost say, more promiscuous - circulation, wouldn't you agree?
