Bad science
Men are at the centre of everything, even lesbianism. The Independent reports on a new study that has claimed lesbianism evolved because it's a turn-on for men.The gay community adamantly disagrees. The research comes from the University of Nicosia in Cyprus, which surveyed 1509 heterosexual people, and not a single openly gay person. It found 30 per cent of heterosexual men in short-term relationships and 15 per cent in long-term relationships want their partner to have sex with another woman. From this they hypothesised men's desire for women to sleep with each other made women attracted to each other.
Dead trees the sequel
Peggy writes: "On Mitchelson St between Ellerslie Racecourse and the Southern Motorway a line of mature trees was planted under power lines. They grew and of course began covering the lines, so were regularly centrally pruned over the years, no doubt weakening their structure. A short time ago professional tree removal experts took the trees away and ground out the trunks. Absolutely unbelievably, a new line of trees has been planted in the same place below the electric power lines."
Now, that's awkward ...
