People like this remind us what a massive and unfulfilled job being human really is. Forward this to as many people as possible. Oh, and FYI, this kid is 11.

I considered not even writing about this, but it must be done. This is the end of human civilization as we know it. Someone has written a cookbook for semen. Don’t even reread the last sentence, because it gets better:

Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties. Like fine wine and cheeses, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants. Despite all of these positive qualities, semen remains neglected as a food. This book hopes to change that. Once you overcome any initial hesitation, you will be surprised to learn how wonderful semen is in the kitchen. Semen is an exciting ingredient that can give every dish you make an interesting twist. If you are a passionate cook and are not afraid to experiment with new ingredients – you will love this cook book!

The book is called Natural Harvest: A Collection of Semen Based Recipes

Eat more than you should. Stay skinny. Run twice as far. Those are the big claims coming from a new drug study from Sirtris Pharmaceuticals, Inc., based in Cambridge, Mass. This latest study clears the way for human clinical trials of SRT1720, often touted as an “anti-aging pill.”

SRT1720 activates the same receptor as the much-discussed resveratrol, the chemical in red wine that may slow some effects of aging. Both resveratrol and SRT1720 are being tested as a way to treat type-two diabetes first, and possibly other age-related diseases, later.

“We are very excited by these results,” said Michelle Dipp of Sirtris. “These compounds are mimicking calorie restriction and exercise while lowering levels of glucose and insulin in mice. It’s a game changer.”

The European scientists overfed two groups of mice by about 40 percent. For a person, that would be close to eating 3,000 calories a day, enough to pack on significant weight.
