Cuckolded by Zeus

You know how everyone thinks their kids are great and going to become a president, hero, etc? I wonder if back in the day, everyone thought their kid was the child of Zeus. Somewhere among thinking that children were just spontaneously born, thinking gods/animals/etc could impregnate a woman, and the lack of understanding of ovulation, I think it is easy to see why men historically have not been...

An interesting quote I jotted down while riding bike and watching Richard Branson on Charlie Rose tonite. A perhaps obvious, but not embraced thought from the talk was that there is one side to the alternative energy issue that fossil fuels are destroying the environment and it needs to...
