The Problem With Saying 'Black Babies Cost Less to Adopt'

How Strong Is the Female Sex Drive After All? -- "Bergner thinks that monogamy is society's way of constraining female sexuality. He implies that this constraint is unjust and prudish. He is not alone." The author of the article, unfortunately, appears to uphold the notion of women as sexual gatekeepers.

Big Surprise: Smoking Pot Lowers Motivation -- The reason why is actually quite interesting: "[S]moking marijuana suppresses one's ability to synthesize dopamine — the neurotransmitter associated with motivation."

Long John Silver's serves least healthful meal, food watchdog says -- "The advocacy group [...] also accused Long John Silver's of overstating the amount of fish and under-reporting the amount of trans fat in the meal. The fast food chain says the main part of the meal features 7 or 8 ounces of haddock; the CSPI said its tests showed 4½ ounces of fish and 3 ounces of batter.

Men Overestimate Women's Sexual Interest: Study

SAVANNAH, Georgia (Reuters Health) - Sorry guys, sometimes a smile is just a smile: new research suggests that men too often mistake women's everyday behavior as a sign of sexual interest.

The phenomenon seems connected to a kind of psychological self-projection, according to researcher Robyn LeBoeuf of Princeton University in New Jersey. "They say, 'Well, if I were to smile at a woman, I would be interested in having sex with her. So if she's smiling at me, then she's probably interested in having sex with me as well."'

What's more, the investigators found that this type of wishful thinking is most common among men whose sex life--or lack thereof--leaves much to be desired. {snip}
