for work, they had me and girsty sift through the archives of the berkeleyn and the daily cal to look for some quotes. although we didn't find any quotes we did find some funny articles. haha~~ here is an excerpt and an article that i found particularly sillarious (as basile would say):
Excerpt 1:
While not every person who gropes people becomes a serious sex offender, police say most serious sex offenders have groped.

Study: Semen Loses Spunk Earlier in Life

It's a topic most men won't like to think about, but by the time they graduate college the quality of their semen has already started to decline.
That's according to a new study published yesterday in the journal Human Reproduction by researchers from UC Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
The results of the study were surprising in that the decline in semen quality "occurred very early and was progressive," said Andrew Wyrobek, head of the Health Effects Genetics Division at Livermore lab and co-author of the study.
The study differed from past research because it used healthy males, rather than men seeking help at fertility clinics.
With each passing year, a man's sperm slows down and loses sense of direction, lowering his chances of impregnating a woman, the study found.
As early as age 22, the speed of a man's sperm--known as sperm motility--has a 25 percent chance of being abnormally slow. The number grows gradually to 85 percent by the time the man is 80, the study found.
Sperm navigation also degrades with age, researchers discovered. Instead of heading straight for the egg, the sperm has a better chance of getting stuck swimming endlessly in circles, wiggling aimlessly or not moving at all.
By age 30, the sperm in half of all men have trouble getting around, according to the study.
The study shows that women aren't the only ones who have to worry about their "biological clocks" ticking, but men still have it easier than women.
Women are hit with a sudden decrease in fertility in their 30s. Men become gradually less fertile as the years go on.
"Having a baby is definitely a couple issue," Wyrobek said. "Not only do we have to worry about a woman and her age, but now we also have to worry about a man and his age."
Despite the study's apparent implications, the decrease in men's semen quality may not be directly caused by old age, said Brenda Eskenazi, a professor of epidemiology and maternal and child health at UC Berkeley.
The study's authors reached no conclusions as to why the decline in semen quality occurs.
my, my, my. the things you can find on the internet.
