Genes Resistant to HIV
Montreal Canada - Scientists have made some promising developments in identifying genes that somehow boost the innate immune system and fight of the HIV virus as soon as it enters the body.
Some folks may be naturally resistant to HIV infection. If you have the genes called KIR3DL1 and HLA-B*57 you might be innately resistant to HIV. Folks carrying the 2 genes may be able to destroy infected cells more efficiently following exposure and lowering their chances of developing AIDS.
Though it will probably be awhile before this or any research will be a cure for AIDS, it is possible!
Meanwhile - Stop barebacking!
No commentsSocio-political-sparkle-genetics and the Gay Brain
My roommate and I were just having a discussion about genetics and being gay. Basically, the pro’s and con’s from a social and political standpoint. If you are genetically gay, then it isn’t a choice right? So, failure to accept constitutes discrimination based on traits similar to race, cankles, or red hair. Even with that, sometimes I think I would rather look at being gay is more psycho-social. (and when I say psycho social I don’t mean Ruphus after 3 Jäger bombs). I mean being gay IS a part of who I am, but it feels like it is part of my social or even spiritual being. Its a complicated subject, for sure. I just worry about the negative implications of genetically identifying gay people. Would genetic counselors help couples avoid having gay children? If they knew their child would have the “sparkle gene”, would parents send them to ex-gay nursery schools?
So not five minutes after that discussion, I see a link online to a TIME magazine article suggesting that there are physical differences in the brains of gay and straight men. The big idea….
Scans of the brains of gay men in the study, however, showed that their hemispheres were relatively symmetrical, like those of straight women, while the brains of homosexual women were asymmetrical like those of straight men.
Your thoughts?
At the A-queer-ium
An endangered sea dragon is knocked up and daddy is the one carrying the eggs! No, sea dragons are not gay and those aren’t herpes on Mr. Sea Dragons tail.
The male sea dragon has about 70 fertilized eggs, which look like small red grapes (NOT herpes), attached to his tail. He is expected to give birth in early to mid-July, said Kerry Gladish, a biologist at the Georgia Aquarium.

Sea dragons, sea horses and pipe fish are the only species where the male carries the eggs but maybe not for long.
Sea dragon pregnancies are rare because researchers don’t know what gets them in the mood to mate. Have you seen the female sea dragon? You wouldn’t be in the mood either, from what I can tell they look a lot like DanGina’s ex-wife and we know how that turned out. There is something biologically or environmentally (maybe Gay Pride Season.) that triggers sea dragons to want to get freaky. These same environmental effects have been known to put Peasha in the mood as well. Did you see him at Flufffy’s pride party last year?
The sea dragon is the only member of the genus Phycodurus and is about 18-inches long and about 6-inches around… I know what you’re thinking but the sea dragon is NOT from the waters around Africa, these creatures are found around southern and western Australia. The sea dragon with long aardvark-like snouts, colorful sea horse bodies and multiple paddle-like fins, is not unlike many drag queens that you’ve seen in the past.
During sexy time the female lays herpes, oops I mean grapes and then transfers them to the male’s tail, the same method can be used to give someone crabs or gonorrhea.
In the wild, the survival rate for sea dragon babies is as low as Peasha sex drive, but in captivity it’s about 60 percent. So, if you have 70 eggs and 60% of them are going to live, how many sea dragons will you end up with?
The sea dragon is on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s list of threatened species.
No commentsA Real Unicorn !?!?

Maybe unicorns are real? A one-horned “deer” has been photographed and video taped somewhere over the rainbow (of course) and in a nature reserve in Florence, Italy. This isn’t just one cockeyed antler off to the side of some retarded dear’s head - This is a single antler coming straight out of its forehead. So unicorns are real and this confirms what I’ve believed all along, that Jesus had an issue with unicorns from the start and forbid Noah from letting them board the arch.
Uni-Bambi (named by Ruphus) is believed to be a genetic anomaly and not a mythological creature signifying the end of days. Some deer have also developed as many as three antlers but rather than being adored by young girls and homosexuals alike, these dears are regarded as freaks in the same fashion that you would regard someone with three nipples.
The video, I originally posted, sucks - so I removed it but if you want to see the live action version of this abomination feel free to click here.
