It has now become clear that Jerry was a regular mouse-Casanova because of Tom. The scent of a cat may be the dread of any mouse, but it may also function like a sexual booster for these small rodents, as revealed by a new research published in the Journal of Ethology. The cat smell turns male mice into aggressive Do... |

As expected, urine differs in composition depending on what you eat or drink (that without even mentioning the way in which alcohol and coffee impact on it). Moreover, a new research carried out by a team led by Elaine Holmes, Professor of Chemical Biology at the Imperial College London (ICL) and published in the jou... |

Inbreeding is extremely harmful from a biological point of view. We all carry bad mutations, but they are hampered by another healthy gene variant in the sets made of two genes in our genome.

It may not be the choice food when going to a date (and not only), but beyond the scent, garlic is a panacea. It is rich in manganese, phosphorous, selenium, calcium, potassium, iron and copper, and also in vitamins B1, B6 and C. Garlic contains sugar, and this is more evident in cooked garlic. Garlic has heart prote... |

In many cultures, pissing over the enemy is the supreme act of humiliation, and clearly proof of power and dominance. Some monkeys piss over their possible predators on the ground. But urine can also mix with sex. If you thought that only some human freaks can reach orgasm through urine (a sexual deviation called uro... |

I always imagined I had seen and heard about as much of Paula Abdul as I could possibly take for about... well, enough to last me a lifetime. But now, the American Idol judge came out with an even more hilarious story than her compassionate consolations of dejected (and rejected) candidates - a story that in fact mak... |

Now don't go throwing me that look. I never claimed Nicole Richie was the sharpest crayon in the box, nor that her pregnancy suddenly increased her brain power, too. But this piece of news is really funny - well, in a good way, I think. Also, it's about the most original (and funny) example of promotional w... |

More than a quarter of the adult American population experiences either physical or sexual abuse along their lifetime. And age does not count: about 25 % of the women older than 65 have been the victims of physical, sexual or psychological violence inside their couple.There is a powerful link between an array of gast... |

If you thought that only some human freaks can reach orgasm through urine (a sexual deviation called urolagnia, urophilia or undinism), you'd better find out that our evolutionary relatives are 'better' than us: in capuchin monkeys, this is so for the entire species! These monkeys splash their feet and... |

You cannot imagine all the stunts and acrobatic postures a woman can 'adopt' when using a public toilet, in order to avoid the seat. Of course, there's also the solution of covering in piles of toilet paper the filthy, germ-filled ring of horror. The solution is here: Urinelle, a handy, disposable, ste... |

What in the world could be more comfortable that the flushing toilet? Still, some researchers fear that this will trigger an environmental disaster in the western world. More ecological toilets, like the "squat toilet" in which one squats over a hole dug in the ground, are common in parts of Asia, Europe and Africa, ... |

Two thirds of the adult body are formed by water. A 68 kg person has about 38 liters of water in the body. 23-26 % is found inside the cells, 7,5 % in the space between the cells and less than 4 liters in the blood. This volume must be constantly maintained. How? Drinking daily two liters of water: the body adsorbs i... |

If your health does not matter as much to you as to make you quit smoking, if the fact that the smokers' sperm can produce malformed children does not affect you, at least the fact that smoking really affects the health of your children should worry you. A team of researchers from University of Leicester Medica... |

You may be a saint on Earth, no drugs, no cigarettes, no alcohol, no women, and they can still blame you for haunting the rave clubs and being a feared rapist. Because when your urine is kept for longer than 6 months in a refrigerator, it can accumulate GHB, an illegal drug. FBI researchers at a laboratory in Quanti... |

This is a real example of efficiency and self-support. Lloyd Godson, 27, an Australian aquanaut and marine biologist, was able to survive 13 days in an underwater "biosub", breathing oxygen delivered by algae fueled with his own urine and pedaling a bike for electricity, going out unscathed. The the 2 m (6.6 ft) high... |
