lolwut.

 

jeez scientists are idiots, STOP TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT MAKES BIRDS GAY AND CURE CANCER!!!!!!!!

Scientist #1: Should we try and find this cure for cancer today then Scientists #2?

Scientist #2: Nah, I'm gonna see how many mints it takes to choke a kestrel.

 

Scientists are fun as hell.

Instead of finding out the secret to immortality or curing a terrible illness modern scientist debate about pluto being a planet or they go and do something useless like this.

 

But its still hilarious!

Wow

what scientist do instead of finding a cure for cancer or something wow

STOP ASKING SCIENTISTS FOR A CURE FOR CANCER AND LET 'EM JUST KEEP MAKING YOUR IPODS SMALLER!!!

Wow

Cancer can wait, we must save the Birds from Hell!

Screw Cancer, we must save the birds! D:

I wonder what prompted them to test this.

maybe one of the scientist's birds starting humping the other bird's leg

You had the guts to put DC's words in your own post? there should be a fanclub for YOU! (which i will destroy)

I don't think the Admins care if you treat them like a normal human being.

You have got to be kidding me. *facepalm* Just don't feed the damn things mercury, you don't have to test them.

It's the first time a pollutant has been found to change an animal's sexual preference.

Your illusion it's the first time (-_-') and you said you're scientist, for frogs of polluted water it has been happening for multiple yearrss and they lay eggs, believe it or not

I love science, so I would give a credit if they've made it, you know... scientist-like. This is just lame, I don't even smile reading their article. Only at people's comments I did (-_-')

 

And for people who said instead of cancer, it's actually pretty useful to do this thing and I'm sure they're working at cancer too, scientist isn't just one or two, besides this research is much easier when the mercury's in the wild and it can't/hard to be removed from environment so scientist isn't the cause of them. I appreciate they try to confirm that mercury is really the cause not something else so there's more reason why it's important to reduce mercury pollutant. Plus, that's a good data to know how it affect birds. They just... don't have to make it sounds over dramatic. Just publish the method in science journal, no normal people care how they test it...

I wonder what prompted them to test this.

 

Massive outbreaks of homosexual birds rioting in the streets, raping churches and burning women. Such a sad travesty indeed, I'm glad that they made a research, describing how this uncontrolabe problem arose.

I wonder what prompted them to test this.

 

Well maybe they saw two birds making a nest together and realized they were both males O_e.....
