Origins of Sex in Outback South Australia

Apparently it all began in the Flinders Ranges about 570 million years ago.

Scientists believe they have discovered the earliest evidence of animal sex, between 30cm- long knobby tubular animals which lived on the then sea floor in the Ediacaran Hills within the Flinders Ranges.

Beating the previous record by 30 million years, the earliest known animals to have sex are now Funisia Dorothea, their exploits revealed this week in the international magazine Science.

Funisia Dorothea covered the seafloor of the region during the Neoproterozoic era, a 100-million-year period ending around 540 million years ago.

So sex evolved from nobby tubular animals on the sea bed to involving nobby tubular appendages on the bed. And that took over 500 million years. I wonder where it will go next?

Why the Law Can't Fix Everything

Ramblings of the Fat Man covers the important issue of whether necrophilia is ok. Apparently so in Wisconsin.

Sick maybe, but legal.

Promoting Safe Sex

Fresh from Corporate Presenters story on Public Transportation Themed Condoms, we have a new line of Safe Sex Underwear, complete with a Condom Stash, which were recently launched in Australia.

Apparently this lady could have used them. Her partner in their mile high jaunt, would have also been better prepared. He was on his way to India to promote safe sex and AIDS prevention. Nothing like practicing what you preach.

The other alternative is for a new line of Qantas Mile High Condoms, complete with the Flying Kangaroo logo. Available in all plane toilets.
