Pollutants May Shrink Genital Size, Study Says
"Exposure to high levels of pollutants may reduce the size of sexual organs in polar bears.

I do not know what to say about this one. Honestly, I'm just flabbergasted. Think maybe NOW they will do something about pollution?

2. Weird story, isn't it?
OTOH, knowing the Repubs, they'll just buy more guns.

4. Kick. Wild story.
Apparently they can't breed unless the genitals are really big. Odd, huh?
