Grab a copy of Mary Roach's book, "Bonk." It's about people who do sex research. Not the sex research itself, mind you, but the ones who do it. It's pretty hilarious and all true. At least she promises it is.

Funny girl, Mary.

So, if a boy snake wants to become a girl snake is it twice as expensive?

My “something learned for the day” tidbit.

“…female genitalia across every species is unfortunately still taboo." How sad.. I've heard that in some societies the taboo is so strong, poor snakes don't even get regular pap smears.

(Great article, as always. Thanks!)

Okay… That's hilarious! I wish I had thought of that quip when I was writing. I'm still chuckling out loud… You cheered up my morning.
