Tongster, that is one of the neatest things ever. So extremely Lovecraftian, in a weirdly Watson and Crick kind of way.

Fight Club said that you can get a computer monitor to blow up by filling it with... some sort of explosive, I forget. Anyway, what freaked me out was that it said you have to take a monitor apart with an insulated screwdriver or the charge in there can kill you.
True? I'd taken my CRT apart at least twice, before Fight Club. Always used an insulated screwdriver on it since, but is Pahlaniuk yanking my chain or was I just lucky? I've read that the science is wonky, like frinstance the napalm formula is a bit off. |

TV and computer monitors have capacitors that store electicity even after they've been unplugged. If the capacitor is big enough, you'll get a hell of a shock. I stay away from them.

Go to Galaxy Court and fight it. Your defense: "If nothing can go faster than the speed of light, how did you measure me breaking it? Hm? HM?" ------------------- stuck in limbo...read my profile to confuse yourself more |

If you go outside at dawn on Feb. 1st and look at Venus and Jupiter, the two brightest planets are converging in the southeastern sky for a close encounter. By the end of the month, the two planets are going to be so close together, you can hide them behind the tip of your finger held at arm's length.

Say what? Apparently, Henry VIII was right.

People have been talking about this for years. My mom was on the all banana diet before I was conceived for exactly this reason. While across the population, sex selection is random 50-50, within a specific couple it isn't. Couples with two of the same gender child are much more likely to have a third or even fourth of the same gender than random chance would predict. Male and female sperm behave differently. So it follows that they would interact with the "environment" differently. That environment is affected heavily by the behavioral habits of the parents. It's still largely statisical noise. I don't think you can use this to determine gender. |

Thankfully, the article seems to agree with you, The Boy. I'm sure someone's going to write a "Bananas guarantee your child will be a boy" article based on this, though.

I have never willingly eaten a banana and I certainly didn't eat them when Dev was conceived. Although the *only* time I have ever contemplated eating a banana, I was pregnant.

If I were the penguin, I'd be pretty pissed off at the dudes standing around taking pictures.
