Two sexes “sin in different ways”

Women are prouder than men, but men are more lustful, according to a Vatican report which states that the two sexes sin differently.

Oh my… [ sigh ]… the Catholic Church… I wonder if God verified their data.

Clinton Arrives in Indonesia

Mrs. Clinton said that her decision to come here — a 3,600-mile detour from her tour of Japan, South Korea, and China — was also driven by a desire to recognize Southeast Asia, a region that senior Obama administration officials said had been neglected by the Bush White House.

To underscore that point, she announced that the United States would move toward signing a treaty with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which would draw it closer to the 10-member group, which includes Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

Obama’s going to lift restrictions on stem cell funding soon.  I am very excited about this!

But this article is a reminder that there is still a long way to go (especially since research has been so limited during the past sixish years): Stem cell “cure” boy gets tumour.  Pleez no premature human (or even animal!) use without more studying.

Darwin’s 200th birthday was yesterday.  We celebrated in astrobio with cake and cookies.  While I was at the gym, CNN’s Headline News was taking callers/emailers/texters’ views on evolution.  My head almost imploded.  I was glad I was exercising, or else I would have popped an organ.
