Too Much Estrogen: From Male to Female (In 14 Months)

We are entering a period of change, and I’m not talking about all the fat you’ll be putting on on Christmas, or the fact that the calendar is gonna change; I’m talking about the (another) World End, which happing or not will be a mark on the human history. People, please don’t go purchasing things like crazy thinking you won’t be here next year to credit all the shopping; this is the nth time it is said the world is gonna end – they’ve given this line so many times that it starts to give that feeling bad looks good.

So, being a time o change, nothing would be more fit than making a blog post about (sexual) change. You see, some animals can change their sex at free will, like clownfish, per example (yes, Nemo can do the trick), while others have more recently gotten the ability to change sex from chemicals that deposit in the water.  For the natural trans fishes, when there is a population of only females one of the fishes turn male, to fertilize the eggs, while when there is a population of only males, some (a lot) turn female, like happen in prisons, according to Hollywood movies.

Humans can do that too with the help of hormones (ex: estrogen), and here is an example:

Most Unlikely Ultrasounds That So Happen To Be Real

Gestation is one of the most important – if not THE most important – phases in the life of any living being. The first competition where you scaled a mountain x times higher than Himalayas, swam a sea bigger than all the oceans together, went to moon and came back several times,  passed in landscape made o acid and won a competition where there were about 200 million contestants. The others all died. Tough game of life.

For most of living beings this phase occurs far from the eyes of others, in something we could call capsule, being mothers belly or not. What happens while those beings are developing? For years people believe that what happened in that phase was some sort of magic where God was doing some beautiful trick creating life.

Well, because science is a cold bitch it came to reveal that this so called magic is actually pure chemistry producing the biggest source of expenditure for any parents, and parents can look and see their ruin developing through ultrasound. Although most of ultrasounds are lame, there are some that spread awesomeness or fear.

"No photos means no PHOTOS!!!"

"I come in peace."

This baby just made his first lie or is just scratching.

After the Virgin Mary appearing in the holy toast, holy coffee grounds and that big mans' ass now is the time for Jesus making his appearence in the uterus, finally.

And also making its debute is the turtle - one of them, at least - from one of the most famous game ever, Super Mario.



Zooming The Everyday Life - Things You'd Rather Not Knowing

Remember all those movies and cartoons where people are shrunk and then live great adventures crossing the carpet in the room, bathing in the kitchen sink, flying on paper airplanes? Oh, good memories. So much fun.

Unfortunately for us who ever wished to shrunk so can ride the back of a fly didn’t know that only about 5% of what was shown on tv were true, and the other 95% was covered with censorship.  

If we shrink, what we will find are not cute animals making funny dances, but a lot of angry-faced and weird-boded animals wanting to take the crap hell out of you, literally. You see, there is this vast and diverse world, more than ours that just because we don’t see doesn’t exist. A world within our world, a world that covers our own world, a world that exists since before ours. We should have come in peace. This is so vast that it literally send Adam and Eve take “up yours”.

We really should have come in peace.
