On the topic of "love", it is nice to know that they figured out what happened 
to our spiny penises. 

Suggested book title "Big brains and smooth penises: How losing five-hundred 
and ten pieces of DNA made us better than the monkeys."

P.S. Also speaking of love, since it seems easy for the scientists to produce, 
do you think we will soon see a market of people interested in genetic 
modifications to get blue genitalia?

Other says it is
language or love. The 
film "the princess bride" says "true love is 
the
best thing in the world, except for a mutton, 
lettuce, and tomato sandwich;
when the mutton is 
really lean". So what do you think, is there such 
a
thing as true love? What is the best book about it?

a) Gabriel Garcia
Marquez, Love in the Time of Cholera
b) Mario Vargas Llosa, The Bad
Girl
c) David Nicholls, One
Day
