So Fat, You Can Taste It

Jeff — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:43:08 +0000

so apparently scientists have discovered we have a new gustatory sensitivity–to fat:

Everyone knows that fat is an excellent vehicle for food flavors and has a highly appealing mouthfeel. A new study, however, suggests that along with sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami (essentially, the ability to detect protein), we can also actually taste fat itself.

and this is really interesting:

The higher a person’s fat-tasting sensitivity, the fewer fatty foods that person ate, and the lower that person’s body mass index was.

You lookin at me?

so apparently sex determination in chickens is inherently different than in humans…some are gynandromorphous and can be half male and half female in the same individual:

Scientists solve half-cock chicken mystery

Half-and-half chicken will have totally different plumage, body shape, and muscle structure on the two halves of its body.

No means no!

Woman crashes car while shaving her vag

only in florida:

Woman Crashes Car While Shaving Vag

A Florida woman recently caused an accident while on her way to visit her boyfriend. Police say Megan Mariah Barnes was driving and had her ex-husband take the wheel for her from the passenger’s seat while she prepared for a date.

While on the way to Key West, Barnes sensed that her vaj wasn’t smooth enough, so she decided to shave it. The Thunderbird she was driving slammed into the back of another vehicle and she kept on going. Cops say about a half-mile down the road Barnes pulled over and jumped into the back seat and let her ex-husband get in the driver’s seat.

Barnes was convicted of a second DUI and driving under suspension the day before, so she really didn’t need to get caught driving again.

But, of course, she did. Burns on her ex’s chest from the passenger side airbag proved he wasn’t driving when the accident happened. She was charged with driving with a revoked license, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident with injuries and driving with no insurance.

Now she and her shaved beaver are likely headed to jail.

wouldnt dry shaving hurt?!?

Monkey causing trouble in Florida

Florida wildlife officials can’t master elusive macaque monkey
Coined ‘Florida’s Most Wanted Primate,’ the Rhesus Macaque monkey has been on the loose for the last year in Florida, starting to gain mythical status for its exploits, continually eluding capture.

and i think this is my favorite part: Officials believe the macaque might be immune to the tranquilizers used.
