    Everyone (and all cats) should have the option of seeing science presented in this format.

    I would have expected that this science-team would be mostly comprised of women, but I'm very glad to see beautiful Men on this science-team!

    Wow, I'm glad there's four men on this science-team who are exploring love. I didn't expect to find that, since most men think that the height of life is lust. Life's best orgasm, life's best-available 'bliss' is spilling his seed. Sad.

    Wow wowee I'm glad that this science could possibly lead to the discovery of LOVE
