| Saturday Jul 10, 2004 | When New Zealand resident and engineer Bruce Simpson, out of necessity, declared himself a freelance cruise missile designer, he started the same path taken by Dr. Gerald Bull. Bull was an engineer who believed ballistics could send satellites into space; his funding cut, he pursued "Project Babylon" in 1980's Iraq and was found dead, presumably killed by foreign agents, presumably Mossad.. The controversy was revisited with a made-for-tv movie. to Warfare by isosceles |

| A recent report released by the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University, based on a survey of 1,010 heterosexual men aged 25 to 34, found that 53% of the respondents indicated they are not interested in getting married any time soon. Even more surprisingly, a significant number of eligible bachelors -- 22% percent agreed with a statement that marriage just isn't for them. Why are so many eligible bachelors deferring (or rejecting) the religious and legal bonds of marriage? Some people believe that we have placed marriage lower on our list of priorities in the sequence of events associated with the transition to adulthood in today's society -- after education, employment, and being financially independent. Unfortunately, sacrifices are sometimes made for these educational and professional accomplishments. As we reach our 30s, many of us recognize there's something big missing from our lives and have sought new ways to find our soulmate.

| Thursday Jul 1, 2004 | The largest big cat in the world is the liger: a hybrid between a lion and a tigress. Ligers tend to share behavioral characteristics of their parent species. Ligers are afflicted with giantism, and can reach weights of up to a thousand pounds. Male ligers are thus far sterile, although females can breed. A hybrid between a tiger and a lioness is called a tigon, and is generally smaller and never exceeds the size of its parents. This is because in the lion species, the genes for growth hormones come from the father and genes for growth inhibition come from the mother; in the tiger species this is not the case. This difference is related to the cats' social structure; lions with multiple males in prides have to compete for resources within the womb; thus is it to the father's advantage to have large children and it is in the mother's interest to limit the growth for genetic diversity. Tigers, who are solitary, are under pressure to have as many children as possible; thus it is to the father's advantage to have many, equally-sized cubs. The mother doesn't need to inhibit growth. Mixing and matching genes results in a condition called growth dysplasia, hence the giantism of ligers and dwarfism of tigons. The relations of gene expression to social behavior is part of the reason why it is difficult to breed giant domestic cats. to Zoology by isosceles |
| Because humans and chimpanzees share roughly 99% of their DNA (this number is in question), it is believed by some that these two species can crossbreed. The resulting theoretical hybrid would be called a humanzee. There are rumors of humanzees, but no hard evidence. In the 70's and 80's, a unique chimpanzee named Oliver was believed to be a humanzee: he preferred to walk completely upright, drink and smoke, had an odd smell that was considered neither human nor chimpanzee, lack of hair on his head and humanlike facial features. A recent test shows that he is genetically a chimpanzee, and is either a new subspecies or a random mutation. And so, while Oliver enjoys the golden years of his life, the search for the humanzee -- and its ethical ramifications -- continues.
