BBC News: ‘Virgin births’ for giant lizards
There have been two reported cases of Komodo dragon “virgin births”
The largest lizards in the world are capable of “virgin births”.
Scientists report of two cases where female Komodo dragons have produced offspring without male contact.
One of the reptiles, Flora, a resident of Chester Zoo in the UK, is awaiting her clutch of eight eggs to hatch, with a due-date estimated around Christmas.
Kevin Buley, a curator at Chester Zoo and a co-author on the paper, said: “Flora laid her eggs at the end of May and, given the incubation period of between seven and nine months, it is possible they could hatch around Christmas – which for a ‘virgin birth’ would finish the story off nicely.
“We will be on the look-out for shepherds, wise men and an unusually bright star in the sky over Chester Zoo.”
First there was the audition tape and then there was the dubious return of Brian Atene and now finally the real Atene has returned.
He seems like a decent if slightly odd fellow and I do hope that his new found fame does allow him to help The Christopher Reeve Foundation in the way he wishes, my own order for the Superman dog tags in aid of The Christopher Reeve Foundation has gone in.
I agree with Geekhorde at Metafilter that he would make a good voice actor.

Funny haha or funny peculiar?
BBC News: Is this the perfect comedy face?
Scientists have used computer software to come up with what they say is the perfect comedy face.
The University of Stirling team blended together 179 different facial aspects of 20 top comedians.
They said soft and feminine features, typified by Ricky Gervais, were more likely to make people laugh.
I don’t know about you but the guy in the computer generated photo looks more like a serial killer than a comedian to me.

Dudes already know about chickens.
Who knew that chickens could be such a controversial topic?
Ryan North that’s who. But he believes in fictional Jimmy Wales so his judgement is suspect especially given he’s the source of the latest bout of controversial chicken chicanery.
And still no mention in Wikipedia’s Chicken topic of the little-known phenomena of a chick armed with a revolver, shotgun or a bazooka.

Baby, but smack it.
This has become ever more appropriate since when it was originally broadcast.

President-elect Pustule said he was still working on his platform, but that he had “a lot of ideas about making acne medication cheaper and also making thongs required in more places”.
I, for one, welcome our new acne-faced overlord.
