So we hop online and try to book a plane ticket, only to find that flying is getting really expensive.

It’s fall. Begrudgingly we must accept that summer is over. With the absence of that large orange sun comes the revival of those large orange squash that we know and love. You know what I’m talkin’ about. Oh yeah…it’s pumpkin time!

Goodbye My Faithful Followers!

By on September 11th, 2009 • Life

Well brassers, it's time for me to ride off into the sunset on an awesome horse (with authentic western tunes playing in the background, naturally). I have reached the end of my editorial internship, and must leave my friends (and all of you faithful followers).

They even manage to find their way into rivers and other natural areas, resulting in death of animals who accidentally eat or get tangled in them.

Golden Eggs

By on August 7th, 2009 • Life, Reproduction

Would you pay $8,000 for a couple of eggs?  How about if they resulted in a healthy baby instead of the most amazing breakfast on earth?

A female is born with about 1-2 million oocytes (potential egg cells), but only about 400 mature eggs are released during a woman's reproductive life. These microscopic eggs may not look like much, but to reproductively challenged couples and fertility clinics around the world, they may as well be made of gold.
