Popular Clownfish Can Change Sex, Size (AP)
"Scientists could have written an R-rated, gender-bending plot twist to Disney's '
Finding Nemo': Clownfish have a natural ability to change their sex. Clownfish, the
aquarium pet of choice since the release of the animated movie, live in such a rigid
social structure in the wild that if one of the dominant breeding adults is removed,
the size, status and even sex of the other clownfish change rapidly to return the group
to the status quo."

Black-Widow Spiders May Improve Sex Life, by Patrick Nixon Reuters
TEMUCO, Chile, July 9, 2003
"Chilean researchers said on Wednesday they aimed to
develop a new pill to combat impotence that would have the added bonus of being a
male contraceptive, based on experiments with the venom of black-widow spiders.
The spider, famed for the female's tendency to eat her mate after sex, makes a
poison that can produce muscular seizure, acceleration of the heart and even
death."

NASA: Oldest Planet Formed 13 Billion Years Ago, by Deborah Zabarenko, Reuters,
July 10, 2003
"The oldest planet ever detected is nearly 13 billion years old and more than twice
the size of Jupiter, locked in orbit around a whirling pulsar and a white dwarf,
astronomers said on Thursday. Compared with the relative youth and stability of
our own celestial neighborhood, where Earth and the other planets orbit a single
5-billion-year-old star in a quiet neighborhood of the Milky Way, the ancient
group that holds the oldest planet has had a boisterous past, scientists said
at a NASA briefing."

"The sun oozed over the horizon, shoved
aside darkness, crept along the greensward, and, with sickly fingers, pushed
through the castle window, revealing the pillaged princess, hand at throat, crown asunder, gaping
in frenzied horror at the sated, sodden amphibian lying beside her, disbelieving
the magnitude of the frog's deception, screaming madly, 'You lied!'"

Bush's Bad Science,
Uncertainty is no reason for the U.S. to dodge its responsibility to act on global climate change.
by J.W. Anderson, Washington Post, July11, 2003.
"An effective plan to lower the risk of catastrophic climate change need not damage the economy, any more than buying insurance against fires and floods damages the economy.
Scientific uncertainty is a fact of life. One purpose of public policy is to address uncertainty. It's not an excuse for inaction in confronting a rising risk."
washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A40912-2003Jul10.html
Wrong. Percieved uncertainty provides the perfect excuse for inaction to a nation of scientific illiterates who benefit from world hegemony. A host of skillful social constructions such as this would carry the US and G8 friends through the holocaust of WWlll, afterwhich they may be used to illustrate man's fallibility and the Christain God's superiority. Win, win, win.
