Or is it a turn-off?

Scientists have created the world's first human-sheep chimera - which has the body of a sheep and half-human organs.

The sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells - and their evolution brings the prospect of animal organs being transplanted into humans one step closer.

Professor Esmail Zanjani, of the University of Nevada, has spent seven years and £5million perfecting the technique, which involves injecting adult human cells into a sheep's foetus.

Researchers at Texas A&M have reportedly been trying different methods to create human/sheep hybrids -- methods said to involve flowers, chocolates, and slinky negligees.

Teens accused of making ostrich impotent

No, there were no nude pictures of Helen Thomas or Ann Coulter involved.

Three teenagers may be on the hook for a hefty fine if a court decides that their festive firecrackers outside an eastern German farm scared the libido right out of an ostrich named Gustav.

Rico Gabel, a farmer in Lohsa, northeast of Dresden, is claiming $6,450 in damages for the alleged antics of the three youths, ages 17-18, between Dec. 27 and 29, 2005.

According to his lawsuit, the farmer claims that fireworks set off by the boys made the previously lustful Gustav both apathetic and depressed, and thus unable to perform for a half-a-year with his two female breeding partners.

Before Gustav regained his sex drive in the second half of the year, the farmer estimates he lost out on 14 ostrich offspring — worth $460 apiece.

The suit is due to be heard next Monday in a regional court in nearby Bautzen, the court said Monday. The teenagers' names were not released.

We live in a strange world.

Hey, these questions about the destruction of the Death Star makes at least as much sense as the views of the "Truthers" who argue that terrorist jihadi pigs were not responsible for the 9/11 attacks on America.

Scratch that -- it makes MORE SENSE than the claims of the Truthers, which ave been thoroughly debunked based upon the scientific evidence.

7) Why has their been no investigation into evidence that the droids who provided the rebels with the Death Star plans were once owned by none other than Lord Vader himself, and were found, conveniently, by the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, and who is also believed to be Lord VaderÂ’s son? Evidence also shows that the droids were brought to one Ben Kenobi, who, records indicate, was Darth VaderÂ’s teacher many years earlier! Are all these personal connections between the conspirators and a key figure in the Imperial government supposed to be coincidences?

How could a single missile destroy a battle station the size of a moon? No records, anywhere, show that any battle station or capital ship has ever been destroyed by a single missile. Furthermore, analysis of the tape of the last moments of the Death Star show numerous small explosions along its surface, prior to it exploding completely! Why does all evidence indicate that strategically placed explosives, not a single missile, is what destroyed the Death Star?

So tell us, who was really responsible for the destruction of the Death Star, folks -- and who benefited from it?

And what was the role of the Jedi on the Grassy Knoll?
