Estrogen

I cannot remember how we ended up talking about pollution while studying for Metallogeny, but we did and it was ... erm, somewhat informative and hilarious.

It began when I said something about the pollution in Sudbury and that some animals are mutant in Sudbury Lake (don't quote me on this!!). And my friend went, Oh really? 

Then I got rather confused and tried to sway what I said previously because I wasn't too sure myself. Instead, we started to talk about how high level of toxicity in lake can cause some male fish to have eggs and some frogs to have 5 legs (I saw this picture in my Sed Petrology class)! I was laughing so hard already. My friend continued by saying it was the breakdown of bla bla bla bla (I forgot, but I think it's plastic) that release some chemical into the water that somewhat mimic estrogen; thus, the male fish in that water became "female". Weird? It happened yo! And while I think that's hilarious (geez!! so insensitive!), there is a bigger outcome to that. I heard Sudbury has more girls than boys, I said (again, I can't verify this). Then she said, don't you know the ratio of men:women in the world is actually really really low and somehow this "estrogen" pollution has something to do with that. Actually, I do know there are more women to men these days, I knew it since sekolah rendah when I learned about signs of dunia dah nak khiamat. But, of course I didn't tell her that. LOL. Humff, terlupa pula hakikat itu. I guess I have to remember all the poor fish and frogs to remind myself Dunia is about to end. Wallahualam.

So I guess this is the way science explains why there is more women to men? and to me, I do believe science can explain some of the things Allah had outlined in the Quran. Cause they all should tie in. I'm not too sure about this can explain why we have more women today than men, but hey, it is a good reminder, nevertheless.

Well, lets try to control our pollution yer folks! <--- Gosh I have so many things to say bout this issue. If you read March 2009 issue of National Geographic, you will see why I have a lot to comment on! Now no time maaa.....

OK, mari bekerja semula.

Oh wait, it's 2.44am now, I would rather go to bed.

Toodles gators ;)
