DOING IT THE HARD WAY!

There are two basic approaches to presenting DNA evidence to juries. One approach involves a prosecutor using expert witness testimony to present a detailed explanation of the underlying scientific principles and techniques involved in DNA testing, in the hopes of creating a scientifically savvy jury which will be able to appreciate the scientific basis of the test results. The actual results are often presented to the jury hours (or even days) after the jury first was told about “A” always binding with “T”

Balanced against the advantages of the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) Principle approach is the idea that it is valuable to have a scientifically astute jury – one that really knows where to put its “A’s, T’s, G’s and C’s”.

During my late adolesence I discovered that things were not as simple and straightforward as I had previously thought them to be.

Gonads - Breaking news!

Scientists at the University of Total Bollocks (UTB), Michigan, have discovered that the humble bushcricket has been clicking so much over the centuries because, in proportion to body weight, it has the largest testicles per body mass in the world at 13.8%.

A human equivalent would have two tyres between his legs. However, these gonads do not produce more sperm but store so much they can impregnate a large number of female crickets.

Hope he can pay all that child support!

It reminds of when Panurge had his balls on the table to give them a scrub so as to make them more presentable to the ladies.

Just the balls, or other stuff, too?

Buster Gonad is the name of a cartoon character in the British comic Viz involving the surreal adventures of "the boy with unfeasibly large testicles". During a storm, Buster's gonads were zapped by cosmic rays which enlarged them to an enormous size. Buster's gonads are so large, in fact, that he needs a wheelbarrow to carry them around. As a result, they are impossible to conceal and are therefore out on open display for everyone to see and marvel at



Plot-lines vary, but are always bizarre, revolving around Buster's outstanding physical attributes being a blessing or a curse. For example, in one episode Buster climbs a tree whereupon some children standing below mistake his hairy scrotum for giant horse chestnuts, deciding to pelt it with sticks and stones in order to knock it down so they can play conkers. Moments later, a passing farmer attempts to help the children by blasting the "horse chestnuts" with his double-barrelled shotgun. Finally, an endangered species of bird decides to build a nest on Buster's scrotum and lays eggs in it. It is illegal to disturb the rare bird's nest, so poor Buster is forced to stay up the tree for the next few weeks until the eggs hatch and the fledglings have left the nest.

In December 1987 Viz released a 7-inch single entitled "Bags of Fun With Buster" (b side "Scrotal Scratch Mix") by Johnny Japes and His Jesticles

QUITE LITERALLY, THE DAWGS B*LL*CKS!



Dog Rocks are a natural nutrient supplement which stops your dog's urine from causing lawn burn in your garden.

Dog Rocks are made from a completely natural rock which - once added to your pet's water bowl - protects your lawn from the nasty brown patches caused by dog urine.

Dog Rocks are laboratory tested and proven to be completely safe for your dog and do not effect the pH of their urine.

Dog Rocks are made from Paramagnetic Igneous Rock which increase the properties of Barium, Boron, Manganese and Strontium while decreasing Tin levels in your dog's water.

All you have to do is simply put Dog Rocks in your dog's water bowl and make sure you fill it with no more than 2 litres of water.

Dog Rocks start improving your lawn within 5 weeks and need to be replaced every 2 months to ensure they continue caring for your lawn.

However, they are not an exact science as every dog is different but once you have sussed out what works you should have no more lawn burn problems.

For example, when your dog drinks more water during the summer you may find that you will have to up your Dog Rocks dosage.

Dog Rocks are manufactured by Dog Rocks UK and are available with FREE Postage and Packaging.
