Natalie Dylan‘s one-year saga of hawking the privilege of popping her cherry to anyone with a truckload of cash has now at last come near its conclusion:

“I feel good; it’s been over a year,” Natalie exclusively tells TheFABlife of her auction coming to a close. Life for Natalie has been quite a rollercoaster since she and Dennis kicked off the bidding on Howard Stern in September of 2008. After the announcement, a media circus followed, she joked that Barack Obama would be her ideal winner, and bidding for Natalie’s virginity reached up to $3.8 million, followed by offers for book and movie deals. After the highest bidder, an Australian businessman, reconciled with his estranged wife and pulled out of the auction, it now looks as though the deal is about to be done for $1 million.

For $1 million, that pussy better come with a free CIA-trained squirrel!

Rights activists lashed out at local officials who allowed hundreds of infants to be dropped from the roof of a mosque in western India in the belief that the fall — which ends when the babies are caught in a bedsheet — would ensure good health and prosperity for their families.

The ritual at the Baba Umer Durga, a Muslim shrine, is believed to have been followed for nearly 700 years, and each year hundreds of people, both Hindus and Muslims, take part in the ritual.

The human infant is a hyper-information-churning piece of computer. Respekt, people!

WHAT IS IT like to be a baby? For centuries, this question would have seemed absurd: behind that adorable facade was a mostly empty head. A baby, after all, is missing most of the capabilities that define the human mind, such as language and the ability to reason. Rene Descartes argued that the young child was entirely bound by sensation, hopelessly trapped in the confusing rush of the here and now. A newborn, in this sense, is just a lump of need, a bundle of reflexes that can only eat and cry. To think like a baby is to not think at all.

Modern science has largely agreed, spending decades outlining all the things that babies couldn’t do because their brains had yet to develop. They were unable to focus, delay gratification, or even express their desires. The Princeton philosopher Peter Singer famously suggested that “killing a disabled infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Very often it is not wrong at all.”

Now, however, scientists have begun to dramatically revise their concept of a baby’s mind. By using new research techniques and tools, they’ve revealed that the baby brain is abuzz with activity, capable of learning astonishing amounts of information in a relatively short time. Unlike the adult mind, which restricts itself to a narrow slice of reality, babies can take in a much wider spectrum of sensation – they are, in an important sense, more aware of the world than we are.

God wants me dead. I pissed him off. Pissed him off good. I don’t know what sent him over the edge. Maybe it was my off-colour, sacreligious sense of humour. Maybe it was the bilby I drowned in a duffel bag. Whatever it was, one thing is clear – the great skyfairy wants hardcore vengeance, and he wants it now. Let’s educate you on whats happened so far. If you don’t want to read, I’ll summarise it for you in the next two words.

Hey, nerds, how ’bout adding this to your pick-up lines.

New research from the UK suggests that men of higher intelligence tend to produce better quality sperm.

The Institute of Psychiatry headed up a study where they analyzed data from former US soldiers who served during the Vietnam war era and found that those who performed better on intelligence tests tended to have more – and more mobile – sperm.

The results appear to support the idea that genes underlying intelligence may have other biological effects too, suggesting that if tiny mutations impair intelligence, they might also harm other characteristics, such as sperm quality.

Researchers believe it is likely that people with robust genes might be blessed with a biological “fitness factor” making them fit, healthy and smart.

Scientists in the past tended to assume that lifestyle factors were more likely to underlie any relationship between intelligence and health.

Smarter and brighter people, for instance, may be less likely to smoke, and more likely to take exercise, both of which are known to impact on mental performance.

The UK study tested the gene theory by taking two characteristics that seemed unlikely to be associated with each other – intelligence and sperm quality.

The team found a small but statistically significant link and was able to show that this could not be explained by unhealthy habits, such as smoking or drinking alcohol.

The researchers studied 425 men who undertook several intelligence tests and provided semen samples. They found that independently of age and lifestyle, intelligence was correlated with all three measures of sperm quality – numbers, concentration, and ability to move.

Well, aside from “infectious awesomeness,” here’s one “contagious disease” we’d like to have: happiness.

Christakis and UCSD political scientist James H. Fowler examined the relationships of nearly 5,000 people who were tracked for decades as part of the landmark Framingham Heart Study.

They discovered that happy people in geographic proximity were most effective in spreading their good cheer. They also found the happiest people were at the center of large social networks.

In many regards, they concluded, happiness is like a contagious disease.

“We know people who are most susceptible to HIV are people who have lots of partners,” Fowler said. “This is the same thing.”
