Men unnecessary? Truth or lie
Will science render men unnecessary?
The possibility seems real…
I normally don’t spend a great deal of time thinking about my sperm.
But recently a team of scientists announced they had made artificial sperm from human bone marrow, and media reports abounded with the dire news that my goodfellas (and by extension, me) had been rendered unnecessary.
If a woman chose to do so, speculated tabloid journalists, she could make sperm from her own bone marrow, fertilize another woman’s egg — and voila, no man needed!

The Envirosight Supervision 250 Crawls Through Sewer Pipes So No Human Has To
From Wired Magazine Article
What it’s used for:
Revealing damage deep inside city pipes
You go, you flush: out of sight, out of mind. Not for city maintenance crews. With 850 billion gallons of sewer and storm water leaking into watersheds around the country every year, the Environmental Protection Agency is cracking down on cracked pipes. And the SuperVision 250 is riding that great, stinky wave of demand.
Are you afraid you could lose your job to technological advances or have you lost a job because of a technological advance?
When Authority figures are liars – the most respected man in America
In High School, if there was a teacher that no one had respect for then everyone would love the kid at the back of the class who threw spit-balls at that teacher when the teacher was not looking.
It is interesting that the most respected man in America seems to be a comedian – Jon Stewart.
As Jon Stewart has said himself, he is like that kid who throws spit-balls at some politicians.
Is he popular because the American people have no respect for some of the current gang of politicians who are running our country – and especially those politicians that Jon is throwing spit-balls at?
That must be a lie, right?

He would not throw spit balls from the back of the room!

Passing the buck
If you screwed up at work, so badly you thought it might cost you your job; would you consider passing the buck to save your own ass by lying and blaming another worker who is a good friend?
Whatever is only almost true is quite false, and among the most dangerous of errors, because being so near truth, it is the more likely to lead astray.
–Henry Ward Beecher
Are Blonde’s really dumber truth or lie ?
All generalizations, including this one, are false.

Cheating on your Mate
Who Lies more about cheating on there mate, men or women ?
The truth was obscure, too plain and too pure. To live it you had to explode.

The Good old Days…
Were the days of yesteryear really better? I miss the 1950’s & 1960’s but were they better than now or is it senility creeping up on me? Truth or lie.
Truth stood on one side and Ease on the other; it has often been so.
–Theodore Parker
Butt Enhancement – Is it a lie?
It is becoming popular for men and women to buy undergarments that improve the look of their butts, chest or crotch when trying to attract a new partner. There are a number of internet sites now selling undergarments for men and women so they no longer need to roll up Kleenex or socks and stuff them in private places to enhance the exterior look of their body.
Is it a lie to hide the ‘naked truth’ with these enhancements?
As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.
—Josh Billings

What is left after the Lies…
There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.
