differences between men and women

It has also been found that the amount of prenatal testosterone, which is produced by the fetus and measurable in the amniotic fluid in which the baby is bathed in the womb, predicts how sociable a child will be. The higher the level of prenatal testosterone, the less eye contact the child will make as a toddler, and the slower the child will develop language. That is connected to the role of fetal testosterone in influencing brain development.

Males obviously produce far more prenatal testosterone than females do, but levels vary considerably even across members of the same sex. In fact, it may not be your sex per se that determines what kind of brain you have, but your prenatal hormone levels. From there it's a short leap to the intriguing idea that a male can have a typically female brain (if his testosterone levels are low), while a female can have a typically male brain (if her testosterone levels are high). That notion fits with the evidence that girls born with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, who for genetic reasons produce too much testosterone, are more likely to exhibit ''tomboy'' behavior than girls with more ordinary hormone levels.

Doctor says he sucked nipple to diagnose problem September 8, 2010 - 6:58AM

A Finnish court will hear a sexual molestation case against a doctor who says he sucked a patient's nipple to diagnose a medical problem in accordance with an old midwives' trick.

Lower courts earlier ruled that the doctor had not committed a crime, but the prosecution and the patient appealed against the judgement to the Finnish Supreme Court.

The 20-year-old woman went to the doctor in 2007 for an ultrasound breast exam and told the doctor some fluid had seeped from the nipple.

After obtaining her permission, he used his mouth to suck her nipple in order to taste the fluid, the doctor testified in court earlier.

.... Dodgy or legit?

ABC Radio national's hindsight program on the memorial and the fire/police museum was very good/moving this morning.
In a freezer somewhere are tens of thousands of unidentified body parts. The fire wasn't finally out until December.

The worst part is fronting up with a fresh sample in a jar a few weeks later to confirm that it worked.
