"As late as 1891, Mrs Ida Ellis in her Essentials of Conception (see Pearsall, 1971 p.303) stated: 'It is the male who can progenate a male or a female child at will, by putting an elastic band round the testicle not required'."
Wait, so one testicle will produce boys and the other one girls? Like hot and cold tap water?
Hmmm. Rough Ballplay masquerading as the male imperative.
And I'm just vain enough to look at Hec's tag and say "What?" :)

Wasn't that the premise of Earth?
However, even if the ball of plasma is a black hole, it is not thought to pose a threat.
Um, it's not thought to pose a threat? Counldn't they have said, "it absolutely positively has 0 percent chance of sucking life the universe and everything into its hungry black maw, we promise"? Somehow I'm not feeling comforted.

(DX needs to change his tag to "mad with power". Am scared to even venture into Bureau now!)
