I tremble for this group.

I fear a foreplay thread coming on!

Re: My letter made the Sunday Editorial page

Great letter. Small correction. Mercury is the second most toxicELEMENT, not the second most toxic SUBSTANCE. Human pheromones areprobably the most toxic substance.Lenny>> Mercury is the second most toxic substance on the planet.

Human pheromones study:

To find out if human pheromones exist and can affect menstrual

timing, McClintock and Stern asked nine women to wear gauze pads

under their armpits all day. (Sweat is a common source of pheromones

in mammals.) The pads, changed daily, were cut into pieces and

frozen, and a daily tally was kept of each woman's menstrual phase.

Then, every day for four months, the researchers rubbed thawed gauze

pads above the upper lips of 20 volunteer women who had agreed to

have any of 30 different " natural essences " rubbed under their

noses. " Sweat " was among the 30. " We buried it in the

list, "

McClintock said.

For two months, 10 women sniffed sweat from women in the early phase

of their menstrual cycle, while the other 10 sniffed sweat from women

in a later phase of their cycle. Then the groups switched and spent

two months getting the opposite scent.

The women smelled nothing, but the results were striking: Those

exposed to " early phase " sweat saw their own cycles shortened by an

average of 1.7 days per month, and as much as 14 days a month. Those

who sniffed " later phase " sweat saw their cycles lengthened by an

average of 1.4 days a month, and up to 12 days a month.

Computer models indicated there must be two substances in the sweat --

one that lengthens cycles and one that shortens them -- and that

together they can quickly lead to groups of women having synchronous

periods.

Lenny, is this what you were referring to?

Cack. I like it. I am an aficionado of great examples of onomotopoeia. This may be one of the best.

Is that like a hairball kind of cack?
