"Boat owners are abandoning ship. They often sandpaper over the names and file off the registry numbers, doing their best to render the boats, and themselves, untraceable. Then they casually ditch the vessels in the middle of busy harbors, beach them at low tide on the banks of creeks or occasionally scuttle them outright. The bad economy is creating a flotilla of forsaken boats. While there is no national census of abandoned boats, officials in coastal states are worried the problem will only grow worse as unemployment and financial stress continue to rise. Several states are even drafting laws against derelicts and say they are aggressively starting to pursue delinquent owners. “Our waters have become dumping grounds,” said Maj. Paul R. Ouellette of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. “It’s got to the point where something has to be done.”" - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"It could be the ultimate "dream cream" – moisturiser containing Viagra. But, gentlemen, before you get carried away, be aware that the synthesis of lubricant and the popular erectile dysfunction medicine is not intended as a sex aid; instead it is being proposed for women as a treatment for cellulite. The drug sildenafil, sold most famously under the brand name Viagra, has had mixed success as a drug for women, but Croatian researchers are hoping that incorporating the stuff into a moisturiser could open up a whole new market. Beneath the skin surface is a layer of fatty tissue that is thicker in women with cellulite than those without. The distinctive "orange peel" dimpling pattern associated with cellulite comes from this fat layer and an irregular layer of collagen beneath the skin." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"Spring is here and with it come the woes of hay fever. Never fear, however, as there may be a quick and pleasurable treatment to clear those bunged noses, for guys at least – a well-timed ejaculation. That's what Sina Zarrintan, a neurologist from the Tabriz Medical University in Iran proposes, anyway. The logic behind the proposal is based on the fact that the nose and the genitals are both connected to the same part of the nervous system that controls certain reflexes – the sympathetic nervous system. A blocked nose is caused by swollen and inflamed nasal blood vessels, irritated by an infection or pollen in the air. But during ejaculation, the sympathetic nervous system constricts blood vessels across the body. That should soothe the swollen nasal blood vessels, freeing the airway for normal breathing, according to Zarrintan." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
