    What? They changed them? Don't we get to vote or something? I for one am NOT happy.

    I'm still considering myself a Leo. And I think it needs to be based soley on the date and time of your birth. Theres no changing that. That date stays the same. Therefore I stay a Leo.

    No one will live in their current state forever. The conjecture is, once the body dies what happens to the spirit, the energy, the essence of us.

    That may be true (i doubt it though). But men still lose in the long run. Choose your victories very carefully and make sure it will be worth it because there will be consequences. Take it from an old wise sage who has been married for 43 years (to the same women).

    I love it when you talk all sexy :-)

    Right back at you:

    "The reproductive systems vary greatly between the different families of leeches. Some families, including the Glossiphoniidae, have a simple pair of gonopores that open to the ventral surface of the leech. Other families, such as the Richardsonianidae, have a complex system with a penis and vagina."

    All leeches have paired testisacs that are located within the midbody of the adult leech. The number of testisacs varies depending on the species of leech. The ovisacs of leeches are paired (only one pair) and can be long and tubular, or short and spherical in shape again depending on the family of leech.

    Leeches have internal fertilization with most mating by implanting a "spermatophore" (sperm package) into their partner. This implantation can by done through the use of a protrusible penis or by the hypodermic implantation of the spermatophore into the body of the partner. The sperm are then transported to the eggs where fertilization occurs."

    I don't think that is exactly right. Both my boys had blue eyes until 5ish or so and then they gradually changed to what they are now. My youngest is still big blue eyes, but my oldest is grayish green.

    My eyes change color all the time from hazel green to grayish blue. It is weird.
