Step aside, Viagra. Science is getting ever-closer to a version just for the ladies. LibiGel, a testosterone-laden ointment which is intended to boost the libidos of women, will be tested at the University of Virginia (among 99 other institutions) in coming months. Fantastic news, considering hypoactive sexual desire disorder (lack of sexual interest) affects […]
This isn’t the most cheerful subject to write about over the holiday season, but I read about this over at Kevin, M.D. and just had to find out more.
Here’s the scenario…
A person collapsed with a cardiac arrest over five minutes ago. Everything is intact but his heart has stopped beating and his brain has shut […]
Thai Surgeons are gaining a reputation as specialist in the delicate art of reattaching severed penises.
They’ve become experts in this field due to the increasing number of penises chopped off each year by angry Thai women. Seems that the women see this as an acceptable way of taking revenge on their cheating lovers and husbands.
But […]
Nice, but it’s missing something…
I have a very normal, balanced friend I’ll refer to herein as the Skritch who was misdiagnosed with ADHD as a child. To this day, her parents still refer sympathetically to her atrocious attention span, continuously seeking out new ways to help the poor thing just keep it all together. I […]

Next time the kids complain about leftovers, you might want to tell them about the little boy who is allergic to almost every food in existence.
Tylor Savage can only eat chicken, tuna, potatoes, carrots, apples, and grapes - and that’s more variety than he could handle even a year ago. The twelve-year-old boy began […]
The government has a long history of successful anti-drug campaigns.

In a new report, researchers found that hundreds of thousands of children do drugs - from cigarettes and alcohol to marijuana and cocaine - on any given day. In fact, 1.2 million teenagers light up cigarettes every single day. If only they […]
