Your move, ladies

British scientists dealt a major blow in the gender wars this week, reporting that they had created human sperm in a lab. Upon hearing the news my first thought was, "Well, I'm irrelevant." My second thought was, "But can lab sperm make you laugh?"

This news comes the same week that a Massachusetts medical device company got initial approval from the FDA on a permanent contraceptive for women. The name of the company is HoLogic, which I find titillating.
