Gender-bending Dragon!
A komodo dragon in Chester Zoo has given birth to five baby dragons! Not much odd about that, I hear you say, after all, that is what komodo dragons usually give birth to.
Well, Flora, the lizard in question, has never mated, or even mixed with a male lizard. Flora fertilised the eggs herself, without any male help, in a process called parthenogenesis or "virgin birth". Like Jesus!
A curator at the zoo hilariously quipped "When the first of the babies hatched, we didn't know whether to make her a cup of tea or pass her the cigars..." Funny.
And apparently the komodo dragon population is 75% male.
More about how the lizard did it here on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis or read the whole article here on Yahoo!News, but I wouldn't bother, it's pretty short.

She's hot, but she's not THAT hot...
I came across this quite cute wallpaper that someone had constructed of the very lovely Ms Moennig.And then I read the poem.Now, you probably can't make it out on the picture, so I have typed it out (removing the author's name):“To Kate Moennig,
I would say you are the one to change the world entirely.
Looking at you, I mean, is there any man more woman than you?
Or is there any woman more man than you?
You are the one and you know it.
Someone in between genders and cannot be captured completely by either definition of them.
I am sorry for being so worldless because there is no single word in my dictionary has the capacity to hold the whole you in.”

Okay, first off, pretty poem, nice wallpaper.And if you've read any of this site, you probably know that I have a slight obsession with Kate.And thats normal.What red-blooded queer girl doesn't ?
However, am I the only person who finds that poem a little bit stalkery?
Is It Just Me?
Or do these two (Brendon Urie and Kate Moennig) look remarkably similar?
I'm actually finding this quite scary...I love them both for their androgynous ways!
