In true Canadian style the federal government has handed the issue of gay marriage to a committee. Never mind that a Canadian court has "found that the restriction of legal marriage to heterosexuals is unconstitutional" (GAM) or that a majority of Canadians think that same-sex marriages should be recognised. Save the courts' time and the taxpayers money and just recognise same-sex marriages already. [ian in toronto] 11:32:50 AM

What I did in the previous post was type the word Apple in quotes. UserLand hosts this site and intercepted the quoted Apple and applied the appropriate URL. Is this cool or what? BTW I put Userland in quotes (like this, UserLand) and I'm hoping that this is rendered automatically as its URL as well. 2:41:33 AM

Why men are taller than women A study to be published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences suggests that taller than average men and shorter than average women have greater reproductive succcess. This evolutionary pressure persists and so the relative heights of men and women are unlikely to change any generation soon. Shorter than average women are more successful in reproducing because they tend to reach puberty earlier. [David Harris: Science news] 2:12:10 AM
