No Res? Ipsa Loquitur. Or, The (Lack of a) Thing Speaks for Itself ...

Girl power? Hardly. My friend "Ceej" sent this article to me today.

"Shark conceived without male contact"

It turns out, like something out of Jurassic Park, that female sharks, or at least some species of female sharks, have the ability to self-impregnate when no available male is around. The article touts this as a modern-day miracle, straight out of a science-fiction movie.

The best part of this article, which was buried by the authors in the fourth paragraph, is this....

"The female baby - which died from a stingray bite just hours after being born - did not contain a single strand of male genetic material."

AHAHAHAHA! Quite a pedigree! You can't make this stuff up!

You are just threatened by the idea of becoming biologically irrelevant.
