• Mercury turns wetland birds gay, threatens breeding

[quote][b]Mercury affects the behaviour of white ibises by "turning them homosexual", with higher doses resulting in males being more likely to pair with males.[/b] Scientists in Florida and Sri Lanka studied the effect of mercury in the birds' diet. Their aim was to find out why it reduced the ibises' breeding. Mercury pollution can come from burning coal and waste, and run-off from mines. The report, in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, shows that wetland birds are particularly badly affected by it. We're seeing very large reproductive effects at very low concentrations Peter Frederick, biologist Although the researchers already knew that eating mercury-contaminated food could affect an animal's development, they were surprised by the "strange" results of this experiment.

wbc will now protest against mercury claiming its a another fag enabler
Now that is some strange science, right there... [editline]6th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=moffe;26529965]wbc will now protest against mercury claiming its a another fag enabler[/QUOTE] Then fish for having mercury. Damn fag enabler fish.
So then technically, at least for the birds, homosexuality is more or less a disease or condition?
[QUOTE=moffe;26529965]wbc will now protest against mercury claiming its a another fag enabler[/QUOTE] God hates mercury?
[QUOTE=Turnips5;26530049]God hates mercury?[/QUOTE] No, just fags. Even though the Bible says God hates no one, and loves everyone. WBC are a bunch of hypocritical, retarded rednecks.
Freddie Mercury turns birds gay? :v:
You'd be surprised at the effect his moustache has on people.
[QUOTE=Tentacle;26530161]You'd be surprised at the effect his moustache has on people.[/QUOTE] Oh I know...
I read this in Nature a while ago; interesting finding. Could have some odd effects on the survival of those ibises. Hopefully the pollution gets reduced before more harm is done to the environment.

Oh I thought they meant the planet.
Title sounds like some dumb poster typing up a witty fox news quote.
[QUOTE=Kagrenak;26530367] Only in John. [URL]http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/god_hates.html[/URL][/QUOTE] Huh interesting, I don't think it says anything about hating homosexuals; only the wicked and the people who hate god.

[QUOTE=booster;26530404]Oh I thought they meant the planet.[/QUOTE] Fuck I was about to post something about that. So much for trying to be original.
Oh dear, this is a thread about birds turning gay. Please don't turn it into a gay thread about religion.

[QUOTE=faze;26530649]A good [I]biased[/I] resource.[/QUOTE] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_and_homosexuality[/url] Those three are the only ones that exist, pretty much. The contradiction ones are also true, though they might omit some pages, they can't fabricate them. It is biased, yes, but the passages it cites are real. It also has a list of "good stuff" in there, too. [url]http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/good/long.html[/url]
So does that mean you can catch the gay by drinking thermometers?
[QUOTE=Nerts;26531057]So does that mean you can catch the gay by drinking thermometers?[/QUOTE] No, if you drink a mercury thermometer, you will probably die
Excellent... excellent. My plan is almost complete... first the birds, then the world!
Westboro Baptist Church protests outside of local Long John Silver's restaurant, more at 8.
I wonder if this works with other animals
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;26531242]No, if you drink a mercury thermometer, you will probably die[/QUOTE] That's the joke.
[QUOTE=Nerts;26531057]So does that mean you can catch the gay by drinking thermometers?[/QUOTE] Give it a go, The gay and The Grim Reaper can have a big gay race together to see who gets to stake their claim of your ass. :v:
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;26530004]So then technically, at least for the birds, homosexuality is more or less a disease or condition?[/QUOTE] Homosexuality is a condition in anything. Nature never intended animals to fuck the same gender because that doesn't produce offspring. Nothing wrong with being gay, just saying that it's not natural, in both animals and humans.
Mercury is the name of a god therefore god supports homosexuals qed [editline]6th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=johan_sm;26533026]Homosexuality is a condition in anything.

It's like the difference between who's aggressive and someone on a 'roid rage.
Well this can't be good
