When birds lay more eggs than normal, it is usually a sign that something dramatic is happening to the flock. While investigating that phenomenon among Western seagulls on a California island, two researchers made a startling discovery: most of the apparent egg overproduction was the result of homosexual pairings of female birds, each producing the normal number of eggs. The female pairs-some 10% of the population-produce both sterile eggs and eggs fertilized by a visiting male. "We were absolutely astounded," said George Hunt, 35, a biologist at the University of California at Irvine. "This sort of thing...

Those deliberations came to an end this week when, after a couple of student demonstrations in the interim, Fox announced that, no, he would return the money instead of funding hot breakfasts with it, but yes, the University would provide an additional egg entree during January, and possibly May, exam periods...
Peaceful neighborhoods are terrorized by roving youth bands who shake down the local populace by singing to them. And perhaps the most shocking Christmas season excesses are committed by those normally civilized individuals who fanatically insist on ruining good liquor by lacing it with homebrewed, egg-based ulcer remedies as a means of putting themselves in the proper Christmas spirit.

Half of the chromosomes are inherited from the father, half from the mother-including two sex chromosomes, one called the X, the other the Y. If in the genetic lottery of conception, the fertilized egg happens to get two X chromosomes, it will usually develop into a female. If it gets an X and a Y, it will probably become a male...
