I really loathe April Fool's Day on the Internet. I've already been taken in by that horrible report about an order for 13 eps of Torchwood US, involving Gwen's cousin. Yesterday, a whole mailing list I was on fell for something that Patty debunked via Snopes. I will not even address the legion of surprise pregnancy posts. I AM DOUR AND FORMAL AND NOT FUNNY, AND I HATE APRIL 1 ON THE INTERNETS, AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME CHANGE MY MIND.

In other delightful Torchwood news, there's a contest to have a TW short story pbulished in Torchwood Magazine. You must have never received payment for fiction in the past and you must be a UK resident, which rules out nearly everyone I know, which means I can pop popcorn and kick back over this baby.

Werewolves are almost done. And they are good! Tonight, it should be FINALLY off to the editor. I'm thinking I should be done in time for Project Runway.

Hey, Anna Paquin's bisexual, although I feel like I already knew that.

Can animals be gay? Also, is this good or bad for queer humans and will the whole debate eventually drive scientists out of their minds?

My first reaction was "That's so 1990's", but the article isn't your typical sensationalist write-up. It actually asks some interesting questions about how to interpret homosexual behaviour in different species, and mixed signals isn't the only (or even primary) cause. For instance, the Laysan albatross f/f pairs apparently don't mate with each other, but with outside males.

Anyway, thanks to rm for the link. I'm glad I decided to read it.
