Men, we are officially obsolete

This morning I heard that I'd better improve on my taking the trash out routine if I want to stay useful at home.

According to a new bit o'research, scientists can now make sperm and eggs from stem cells. Yes, that's right, men are no longer needed for reproduction.

Granted, this will be cool for some gay couples who can now genuinely have children that have the genes of both parents. Hopefully that should be enough to silence the anti-gay marriage bigots, but I doubt anything less than a tac nuke on their hate-filled homes would accomplish that.

That said, as far as the male part of the species is concerned, we've got some reason for worry.
