    Talking Scientific Progress Beats Praying to God

    Hope for sex-boost slimming pill

    Scientists are developing a pill which could boost women's libido and reduce their appetite.

    The Edinburgh team, led by Professor Robert Millar, have been looking at the properties Type 2 Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone.

    When it was given to monkeys, they displayed mating behaviour such as tongue-flicking and eyebrow-raising to the males, while female shrews displayed their feelings via "rump presentation and tail wagging".

    But the animals also ate around a third less food than they normally would.

    Professor Millar hopes to achieve a similar rise in libido and fall in appetite in a pill for women.

    So it's a denial pill. I'l all for rump presentation and tail wagging though.

    Well, that's the next Nobel prize for medicine pretty much stitched up.

    Now if Professor Robert Millar could find a cure for male pattern baldness as well, I for one will agree he IS god.

    I guess for the dating-challenged crowd, the possibility of getting any action just went from "fat chance" to "slim".

    I can already see hundreds of anorexic women dying while they perform sexual actions.

    It's a dark and dingy gathering place for minor celebrities with very loud music. And run by a very old man with delusions of youth.



    Yes, it's Canterbury cathedral.

    Banquo, please, I'm crying.

    I can see thi being popular, very popular.

    However, I can also see women claiming to have had it slipped in their drinks.

    I wish....I mean, I wasn't(and don't wish either).

    While this may be appreciated for certain ladies of higher weight regions, I can already see models, actresses and others take loads of that stuff to lose weight and end up anorexic, add to that the fat-burning nature of certain mating activities and you get the picture.

    Of course requiring subscription may help a lot.

    Don't get me wrong, I am also a man and I like women, but that is exactly why I don't want them to hurt themselves...

    A good way for more trash to breed. Wonderful. The most parasitic of our species copulate and propagate, while their betters exercise restraint for the good of society.

    We have women seeking equal rights and respect the world over, meanwhile "Girls Gone Wild" and "Spring Break" promotes, quite effectively, promiscuity to the mass social consciousness.

    Just what we need for our daughters.
