The biggest sex event on Earth

This is something that is mind blowing when looks at primative nature !!

"Every year, and shortly after a full moon, billions of corals across a third of
a million square kilometers of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef enter in a frenzy
of reproduction. Now, an international team of Australian and Israeli
researchers has discovered the key to this
moonlight romance. It is an ancient light-sensitive gene, known as a
cryptochrome, which is present not only in corals, but in insects, fish and
mammals — including humans. These genes are primitive light-sensing pigment
mechanisms which predate the evolution of eyes — and are pretty sensitive to
blue light."

Nice Coin

Picked this up from homeless main speaks !

After all its a silent yet powerful message, coin is coin correct ?? :)- Could be a nice play on reverse psychology.- it an't kewl to do drugs anymore !!

This is sweet.. the FBI have been hackin the darn system for years !!

"the surveillance system, called DCSNet, for Digital Collection System Network, connects FBI wiretapping rooms to switches controlled by traditional land-line operator and internet-telephony providers and cellular companies. It is far more intricately woven into the nation's telecom infrastructure than observers suspected." - [ Source ]
