Worst Headline of The Day

From ABC News: "If There Was a Gay-Straight Switch, Would You Switch?" Everyone and I mean everyone has been writing about the bisexual fruit flies.

"When researchers strengthened neural synapses in the brain, the male flies were attracted, rather than repulsed, by the smell of other male flies.

"We put the males together, and they did to each other what they do when they're interested in a female: They approach her, sing her a song, lick her ... and mount her," researcher David Featherstone told ABCNEWS.com."

I'm: shocked that the headline is of a "would you switch" variety and also laughing that fruit flies sing. And scared that the crazed ex-gay groups are going to try to get their hands on the Magic Potion that "fixes tendencies." Gah.
