"Males of species from each of the main classes of vertebrate animals (including bony fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) have been affected by chemicals in the environment. Feminisation of the males of numerous vertebrate species is now a widespread occurrence." Very interesting read. Seems slightly less worrisome than the reverse, though.

Uh, so there are currently three adorable Rottweilers at the Murray Humane Society. Maybe someone would like one?

That is one of the most horrifying articles I have ever read. Oh. My. Word. What are we doing to our planet?

Yeah. Jared Diamond's Collapse was likewise pretty sobering. (You're welcome to borrow it.)

Good to see you.

Who cares about the planet! What are we doing to our penises! Think of the children!

Hahaha. As one Slashdot commenter put it, "If there's any argument that could get red-blooded, meat-eating, women-banging Republican men interested in environmentalism, it's the thought that pollution will turn their sons into gay little girlie men with small dicks."
