About binomial theorem I’m teeming with a lot o’ news.

Alexander McPherson, a professor of molecular biology and biochemistry at UC Irvine’s school of biological sciences, wrote a bitchin’ letter to the LA Times on the subject of sexual harassment training. This is a must-read for anyone that has a brain.
As far as I can tell from my colleagues, it is worthless, a childish piece of theater, an insult to anyone with a respectable IQ, primarily designed to relieve the university of liability in the case of lawsuits.

Across the street from the Groundlings on Melrose in West Hollywood is an adult toy shop with a nausea-inducing sign. (Click the photo for a larger shot, including my innocent Tacoma parked in front of the place. Note: I was not visiting the place!)
This is a store that sells … ahem … “adult toys” … and their sign proudly exclaims Sell - Exchange - Rent DVD’s.
No, it’s not the incorrect apostrophe that frightens me. It’s the idea that someone might exchange a used sex toy.

Wow. You have got to feel bad for Kaitlin Corcoran. She’s got identity issues; she’s unclear on what her middle name is. She’s dating two guys at the same time, and they both have drastic problems with their anatomy. And she feels the need to tell me — a complete stranger — all about it. See for yourself.

This excellent experiment comparing oysters and chocolate in terms of sexual arousal comes via megnut. Meg writes a delicious “foodie” blog which is great fun and chock full of reviews and recipes for anyone that enjoys eating.
In the blue corner, oysters, eight dozen of them. Hailing from Puget Sound by way of Wild Edibles in Manhattan … In the red corner, chocolate. From Peru by way of Jacques Torres …
The referee explains the rules. Four couples have been selected to judge this match. They have been selected because they are the only friends of the author who agreed to do it. Strangely, some friends of the author were horrified at the thought of being publicly identified with pseudoscientific sexcapades.

An Illinois man has won the right to sue his ex-girlfriend for using his sperm to impregnate herself without his permission. Richard Phillips, a family doctor in Chicago, says he never had intercourse with Sharon Irons, also a doctor. They did, however, have oral sex three times during their brief affair; Irons apparently saved some of Phillips’ semen and secretly impregnated herself with it. Phillips broke off the relationship when he discovered Irons had lied to him about being divorced. Two years later, she sued him for child support, and DNA tests showed he is the father. While the Illinois Appellate Court ruled that Phillips can sue for emotional distress, it rejected his claims of fraud and theft, agreeing with Irons’ lawyers that “when plaintiff ‘delivered’ his sperm, it was a gift …”

She seemed like a shy girl when they met, but a few drinks later, they were throwing the rubber bald-headed chutney.

I took a break from hacking out code and building insanely unsexy stored procedures tonight and happened upon what truly is the best Me-Fi thread ever. I must now seriously evaluate all of my previous notions concerning Portugal.

While advertising as a form of support for independent Web sites has proven about as effective as sugar-frosted dental floss, the Web still manages to serve as a massively multiplayer open mic night for many the aspiring writer/artist/poet/revolutionary. The reason for this is simple: money and fame have historically been a less powerful motivator for creative types than the prospect of receiving oral sex — or at the very least, offers of oral sex — from total strangers.

I think that the best linking weblog on line right now is Follow Me Here. Every time I visit I find a half-dozen or so excellent articles. Eliot must be a voracious reader, and his comments are insightful and thought-provoking. If you have never been to his site, go right now. Here are a few of his more recent links that I found particularly interesting:
· A few months ago - just after Sept. 11 - I wrote a little rant about parallel universes and how I deal with the concept of infinity. I never claimed that it was an original idea, or my own. But I like it. It seems like this theory, which dates back to at least 1957, has sparked some renewed interest. The Economist has a very enlightening and much more scientific explanation of a theory of infinite universes than the one I provided. If you’re as fascinated by the concept of infinity and its implications as I am, you’ll appreciate the Economist’s essay.
· The London-based eZine Spiked published an article on “the Singleton Society” last week. I’ll give you an excerpt here, but I recommend reading the whole thing.
… the age-old tension between the aspiration for self-realisation and commitment is difficult to resolve. In the past this tension could be contained through the widespread influence of the ideology of romantic love - which celebrated the value of self-realisation through an intimate encounter with another person. The synthesis of autonomy and commitment helped diffuse conflicts of interests, at least for a brief period of time.
But the ideology of romantic love could only effectively contain conflicts of interests because women were expected to renounce their desire for autonomy in favour of maintaining the relationship. Since the 1970s, this one-sided arrangement has come unstuck. At a time when women seek to develop themselves no less than men, love ceases to provide the focus for an ideology that can sustain durable commitment.
· The Crackpot Index claims to be, “A simple method for rating potentially revolutionary contributions to physics.” It’s very funny, more so if you often find yourself trying to debunk those with seriously high levels of bunk.

I got in a bit of a heated debate recently on the topic of whether there is a genetic link to homosexuality. I remember that there was a flurry of media coverage a few years ago on the discovery of a genetic link, but I also remember hearing shortly afterwards that there wasn’t much support for the theory. Personally I don’t really care, but I was a good bloggerbot and decided to see what I could find on line. I fired searches on Google, AskJeeves, The New England Journal of Medicine, and the Journal of the American Medical Association. Here’s what I could find:

Factors such as age, confidence in one’s sexual prowess and preference for either “fast” or “slow” sex help determine how often men and women achieve orgasm, according to a new survey of more than 2,200 adults in Finland.
Overall, individuals “who have developed a perception that they are skilled and experienced lovers are more orgasmically responsive” than those with less sexual self-esteem, conclude Dr. Carol Anderson Darling of the University of Florida in Tallahassee, and colleagues at the University of Helsinki and the Family Federation of Finland.
My only real problem with this article is that there is no University of Florida in Tallahassee!

I found a link on the mini-wetlog to this stress busting organization’s article on insomnia. One person suggested sex and bananas as sure-fire cures. (No, not at the same time.)
