So I thought I'd cheer myself up by watching The Making of Me avec la Barrowman. There's lots of lols, but I defy you to watch the bit with Pete, who was subjected to the whole Clockwork Orange bit in an effort to torture teh ghey out of him, and not want to have a little cry. JB is appalled to learn that homosexuality was only decriminalised in Scotland in 1980. He wonders if, had he grown up there instead of Illinois (the first US state to drop its sodomy laws, in 1961), he might have been one of the many gay kids who take their own lives.

To balance that a bit, here are some cute dogs.

ETA: That reminds me -

murasaki_1966 pointed me to a New Scientist news item: Bisexuality passed on by 'hyper-heterosexuals'. "How can there be 'gay genes' given that gay sex doesn't lead to procreation? The answer is remarkably simple: the same gene that causes men to like men also causes women to like men, and as a result to have more children." Interesting... now do the same experiment with lesbians!

yeah, that's exactly the bit that upped my respect for him about a gajillion points...i have to be sedated just for an *open* mri. *shudder* remember in that torchwood declassified where he said he was so claustrophobic he didn't even like having those fake sideboards put on his head for the 1800's ep? yikes.

on a lighter note, though, john and scott's old married couple bitchery is worth the whole damn show. ♥ '...what, you think i read it? what?'

hahaha. I might just have to watch it.. I know nothing about the subject.

Having said that K9 Tales came in stores today. *Soo much choice*

I was slightly afraid when I had an MRI, but I think I was kept on the low side of panic by the amusing cartoon-illustrated light panel telling me when to breathe and when to hold my breath.

Many a comfort is given in jest - as a frequent transatlantic flyer, my favourite safety videos were always the slightly-offbeat Virgin Atlantic ones.

(The Virgin America ones are, if anything, funnier still.)
