    Well, since this is a food chain problem, I gotta wonder if it's turning fish gay as well.

    Mercury makes birds gay: study


    jesus, that's a really scientific sounding headline. actually, it seems more like: ibises poisoned with mercury engage in more bi-curious behaviors.

    ..or is there more to this: maybe they not only engage same-sexed mates, but also start drinking chardonnay and amassing Maroon5 albums? :?
