Could 40% be Gay?
Cockroaches on a blind date may trade life for the promise of sex

quote..
US researchers have produced a synthetic version of the female cockroach's sex pheromone - the magic ingredient that makes male cockroaches drop everything in the interest of helping their ladies to produce some 350,000 offspring per breeding season. Coby Schal, professor of entomology at North Carolina State University and an author of the study, says the faintest whiff will have the most starving roach come running. "The male will choose the sex pheromone over food, even though he may die on the way.]/b]"
end quote.........

See, this is true in every species that men are controled by their %#%*^^*(_{_(+++!!

1. Your leap of logic is amazing.
Because a roach reacts a certain way to stimuli means that it is true for every species?

I saw a chemtrail.

5. I'm not kidding.......
Ask a man to choose b/t food and sex.........do you have any doubt what he would decide?

Do you think the other 40% are Gay?

If I'm hungry, I'll choose food.

If I'm horny, I'll choose sex.

Good God.

13. But I already said I wouldn't...
If I had to choose between a Poterhouse Steak and Phyllis Diller, I pick the steak.

If it's a can of spam or Salma Heyak, I pick Salma.

If it's a poterhouse stak or Salma, it would depend on if I were hungry or horny. If neither, I'd do something else...

15. I'm not certain what the question is.
Is it that 40% of men are gay or bisexual? I'd say that assigning a percentile to sexuality is a tougher question to answer than you (sort of) stated. Please, you're comparing humans with friggin' cockroaches!

If the inference is that men (in general) will follow the instructions coming from their nutsack as opposed to following their morals and their brain, I'd say that you're engaging in gender-baiting. You're also making broad generalizations that are untrue.

17. Of course I did.
And you can feel free to say FUCK all you want, without those cute Yahoo MB variations.

You wanted someone to answer a question, but you've not yet asked a question of any worth.

18. could 40% of cockroaches be gay?
there doesn't seem to be any evidence of that in the article. They didn't respond to male cockroach phermones, at least not that we know of. Maybe that 40% were asexual, or tired, or really hungry.
