Article: The science behind butterflies in the stomach (and a new love drug!!)

Well....this is a real downer. Apparently, some scientists have isolated a molecule in the blood which they believe can be associated with the sensation(s) experienced when someone "falls in love". People who recently have fallen in love have high levels of this molecule and those levels subside over the course of a year.

Man...what a bummer. That's almost as dream-shattering as when George Lucas tried to scientifically explain the dynamics of "the force" in 'The Phantom Menage'! (Yeah...I know. I'm a geek.)

Read about it here.

ALSO, some folks have come up with a new drug that they believe will be a type of viagra for women (those are my words...not the scientists'). My favorite excerpt from this article is...

"Data from lab animals was pretty convincing. In female rats, PT-141 “stimulated solicitational behaviors,” which is lab speak for “made horny girl rats.”

Now tell me that that's not funny!! :)

Read about that one here.
