I just love the phrase "sexy yeast". And the fact that the reporter actually used it. [Big Grin]

Yeah. 'Cause everyone knows there's a huge movement going on to switch from sexual to asexual reproduction. [Wink]

Well... I guess I'm glad for the yeast, or something.

I mean, they are responsible for the wonderful blessing of beer.

Aw, come on! Not even a budding interest? This is no time to be sour, don't you know.

But I guess we're crossing over into dangerous territory so I'm gonna find my ol' sis and be leaven.

To be more accurate, Sex isn't good for you it's good for your kids, or to be completely correct it's good for a yeast cells kids.

It's good for you because your genes continue to be propogated.

I'm amused that this made news. I thought it was obvious that sexual reproduction is superior because the random mixing of genes allows for certain combinations that have unforseen advantage. It allows creativity to enter an otherwise too-stable situation. After all, we see that in computer models.

I think the whole article was written just so they could use the phrase "sexy yeast". [Wink]
