Afterlife; Civilization and Its Discontents (Transgender Fish, Polar Bears, People.)

A man told his wife that if he died before she did and there was an afterlife, he would find a way to let her know.

The man died first. Apart from some disappointing seances, his wife never revealed whether or not he contacted her.

A story that would be of no interest except that the man was Harry Houdini.


Civilization and Its Discontents

Farm Subsidies Lead to Ocean Dead Zones
Ocean Dead Zones Causing Transgender Fish

Hermaphrodite Polar Bears
Pesticides May Affect Penis Size

Perhaps this is what lies behind the 'emasculation' of the Democratic Party(?)

The timing of this blog could not have been worse. The office where I work has just been sprayed and there are dead cock roaches on the floor. Now I find out roaches may not be the only kind of cock being destroyed.

You sure do know how to ruin a guy's day.

At least now I have a reason "swagger" like a wanta-be navy pilot on an aircraft carrier as I show off my yard full of dandelions.
