Title: Man, This Man's Twice The Man He Was Before.

How can this guy be in two places at the same time?

Spooky or what, maybe he did the first guitar solo
and then flew around the world at the speed of light,
arriving back at the same time as the original was been sent,
then recorded the second backing cover. Soooo clever!

Superman eat your heart out!

And watch the double shirt pulling routine- very funny!

Check out this little gem of a story out on the internet news wire.
From yahoo news- today.

A species of cricket has the largest testes in relation to its body weight of any known creature in the world, stunned scientists reported on Wednesday. Skip related content

The tuberous bushcricket (Platycleis affinis) has testes that amount to 13.8 percent of its body mass -- the rough equivalent of a man hauling around tyre-sized testicles weighing 10 kilos (22 pounds).

"We couldn't believe the size of these organs. They seemed to fill the entire abdomen," said Karim Vahed, a behavioural ecologist at Britain's University of Derby.

The tuberous bushcricket beat all rivals in a testicular comparison of 21 species of bushcrickets, also known in North America as katydids.

But for all its gonad grandstanding, the insect did not produce more sperm per ejaculate than others, and this offers an intriguing challenge to evolutionary theory.

Testes tend to be larger in species where females are more promiscuous. The assumption behind this is that the male which produces the most sperm has an advantage over his rivals in love.

But the tuberous bushcricket may cause this theory to be revisited, say the authors.

It would have to be damn careful where it puts its feet.   :o
