Don't forget that Phthalates also increase your chances of being gay. Apparently in some South American countries the number of gay men is starting to mess with the census numbers.

Don't forget that the existence of gay men helps the ratio even more. Pretty soon it's going to be 10 does to a buck.

That's beautiful; and I'm sure deeply disturbing to some. Hehehe. I need to watch that movie again.
