Food › Recipe:how To Cook Nigerian Ewa Agoyin. by bodeluke(op): 9:56pm On Feb 03, 2017
Ewa Agoyin simply means plain boiled beans eaten with a pepper sauce.

How to make Ewa Agoyin [Video]

This is the perfect way for those who do not like beans to enjoy it. I can tell you that yours truly does not like beans yet, I can never get enough of Ewa Agoyin. I don't know what it is about it that makes it taste so good. Maybe it is the caramelized onions. All I know is that I enjoy eating it.

Ingredients

2 cigar cups (approx. 500g) brown/black eyed beans
5 cooking spoons red palm oil
5 big plum tomatoes
1 handful crayfish
1 big onion
Pepper & Salt (to taste)
2 stock cubes
Before you cook Ewa Agoyin

Soak the beans in cold water for 5 hours. Boil the beans for 5 minutes and discard the water. Rinse the beans in cold water and set aside. This soaking and pre-cooking process will help reduce the gas inducing elements. For more on that visit: How to Reduce Beans Bloating.

Chop the onions, grind the crayfish and pound the pepper.

Blend the tomatoes and boil the tomato puree till all the water has dried from it.

Pre-cook the diced onions without any added water. The aim is to get it to caramelize a bit so that it will take less time to fully caramelize during frying.

Cooking Directions

Cook the beans till done. For Ewa Agoyin, the beans needs to be very soft.

Note: If you have a pressure cooker, beans is one of the staple foods you will want to use it for. It considerably reduces the cooking time.

When the beans is done, add salt, leave to dry up all the water and set aside.

To cook the Agoyin, pour the palm oil into a separate dry pot. Allow to heat up till the oil starts smoking and the red colour changes to clear. It is better to do this at medium heat so that the oil does not get too hot too quickly. Remember to turn off your smoke alarm before doing this. smiley
To keep the smoke to a minimum and still have the traditional taste of Ewa Agoyin, I use vegetable oil and when it is very hot, I add a small amount of palm oil. Watch the video below to see how I do that.

Now add the precooked onions and stir continuously till the onions is fully caramelized. It should be very dark in colour.

Add the parboiled tomato puree and stir continuously till you cannot tell the difference between the tomatoes and onions.

Add the pepper, crayfish, stock cubes and salt to taste. You can also add a little water at this point if your want.

Stir very well and bring to the boil. The Ewa Agoyin is ready!



Serve by dishing the beans into a plate and scoop some Agoyin stew on it. Ewa Agoyin can be eaten on its own, with soft and stretchy bread (known as Ewa ati Bread) or with Fried Plantains.

Food › Learn: Implications On Health For Consuming Too Much Garri. by bodeluke(op): 7:53pm On Feb 03, 2017
In Nigeria, one very staple food is garri. Made from cassava tubers, it has been nicknamed ‘garry’, ‘African cornflakes’, ‘garium sulphate’, ‘garrison’ and so many other funny names. It is loved by all and sundry because it is cheap, affordable and consumed by the rich and poor alike.

It may be consumed with milk, sugar, suya, groundnut, kulikuli, coconut, fried meat, fish: raw, cooked, fried and the list is endless. Some take it as a form of snack, others have it as real food. It may also be transformed and consumed as ‘Eba’, that is when it is prepared with hot water and eaten with soup. Garri has numerous benefits as it increases vitality in consumers. Taking too much garri can have some serious health implications, we would discuss a few of them below:



Eye Defects: Garri is made from cassava which contains hydrocyanic acid. Cyanide in garri, in large quantity, can lead to serious eye defects. However, proper and thorough processing of the garri should reduce the concentration of the acid to a considerate level.
Cyanide is also an organic acid in nature and where in excess, it can lead to intestinal issues, and can worsen the case of an ulcer patient.


Cassava which is the root from which garri is produced is rich in carbohydrate. A cup of garri contains about 360 calories, out of which 99% is carbohydrate. Hence, Excess consumption can lead to storing of excess carbs in the body and this can lead to unnecessary weight gain.
With these stated side effects, you may be wondering what to do. I know you love garri, I really do too. However there is need to take caution so as to prevent any negative health implications. As stated above, proper processing of the garri can dramatically reduce the level of cyanide. Hence, it is advisable that you purchase your garri from trusted sources and just as the popular saying goes, “moderation is key”. Moderate your overall consumption of garri.

Health › See Doctors Pull Live Cockroach From Inside Woman’s Skull. by bodeluke(op): 6:53pm On Feb 03, 2017
Doctors in India pulled a live cockroach from the skull of a 42yr old domestic helper named Selvi after she woke up in the middle of the night with a “crawling sensation” in her right nostril which became a “burning” feeling in her head.



Selvi, from Injambakkam, India, who did not want to give her full name, said:
“My immediate reaction after feeling that crawling sensation in the right nostril was to brush it off in half sleep. But before I could do anything, it went inside. I could not explain the feeling but I was sure it was some insect.
“There was a tingling and crawling sensation. Whenever it moved, it gave me a burning sensation in my eyes. I spent the entire night in discomfort, sitting up and waiting for dawn to go to Stanley hospital after getting the reference of a doctor from my employer.”
The next morning, Selvi and her son headed to the nearest clinic where medics could find nothing wrong.

The next day she went to state-run Stanley Medical College Hospital, in Chennai, where doctors found the live roach. Baffled medics used a nasal endoscopy to find the insect “sitting in the skull base between her eyes”.

They were forced to used clamps and a sucker to get it out, but miraculously the bug was still alive.
Doctors said if Selvi had ignored the scratchy sensation, the insect would have died, causing an infection close to her brain. Dr M N Shankar, head of the ENT department at the hospital, said:
“This is the first such case I have seen in my three decades of practice. It was sitting in the skull base, between the two eyes, close to the brain.
“If left inside, it would have died before long and the patient would have developed infection which would have spread to the brain.
“It was difficult to remove it because of the place it was sitting in. I had to first drag it to a place from where I could pull it out. It was finally removed after 45 minutes.”

Christianity Etc › List:10 Good Reasons Your Child Should Attend Preschool by bodeluke(op): 9:10pm On Feb 02, 2017
But my child is so small!" Yes, they're still wee tykes, but a high-quality preschool is designed to set up young scholars up for future academic, emotional, and social success.
by: GreatSchools Staff | March 18, 2016

Preschool provides a foundation for learning both socially and academically that will help your child succeed in elementary school.

1 Preschool is an opportunity for growth

For many children, preschool is their first experience in a structured setting with teachers and groups of children. It’s an opportunity to learn to share, follow instructions, and begin the foundation for learning that will occur in elementary school.

2 Preschool prepares children for kindergarten

As kindergarten becomes more academic, many parents look to preschool to launch their child on the path to success in school. At the same time, parents may worry that the current trend to focus on pre-math and pre-literacy skills in preschool cuts into important play time and pushes a child to grow up too fast. It’s a confusing issue,especially with friends and family offering different opinions and advice.

Fortunately, in selecting a preschool, parents aren’t forced to choose between protecting a child’s play time and making sure she’s ready for kindergarten. A high-quality early childhood education program will offer children both.

But how do high-quality preschools benefit children’s learning and development? And what features should parents look for in a preschool program? One answer to these questions is that the staff at high-quality preschools and child care programs understand the particular ways that young children develop and learn. And they organize space, time and activities to be in sync with children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical abilities.


3 Preschool promotes social and emotional development

In order to learn, a young child needs to feel cared for and secure with a teacher or caregiver. A 3-year-old child is able to spend time away from parents and build trusting relationships with adults outside the family. High-quality preschool programs nurture warm relationships among children, teachers and parents. And teachers build a close personal connection with each child in their care.

Children thrive when there is consistency in care between home and school. In high-quality preschools, teachers value parents as the experts on their children. Parents get daily reports on their child’s activities and regular meetings are scheduled for more in-depth conferences with staff. Teachers strive to understand and respect parents’ child-rearing goals and values.

Young children learn social skills and emotional self-control in “real time.” Three- and 4-year-olds learn through their experiences and good teachers make time for those “teachable moments” when they can help children learn to manage frustrations or anger. They don’t automatically step in to resolve children’s conflicts for them; they have a well-honed sense of when to let children work out their own problems and when to intervene. Without shaming a child, they encourage her to notice the impact of her aggressive or hurtful behavior on another child.

4 The preschool environment is structured, although it may not appear that way

A highly structured environment helps young children learn to make friends and play well with others. This doesn’t mean there are lots of rules or that adults constantly direct children’s activities. On the contrary, the structure of a high-quality preschool classroom is largely invisible to children. Classroom space is organized to encourage social interaction, and minimize congestion and conflicts.
5 Children get to make choices

Children have several choices of activities; a child who is wandering aimlessly is encouraged to choose one that interests him. Teachers are alert to a child who can’t figure out how to enter other children’s play and may offer him suggestions on ways to join the group.

6 Children learn to take care of themselves and others

Children’s sense of competence and self-worth grow as they learn to take care of themselves and help others. Teachers appeal to a young child’s desire to engage in “real work” by offering him chances to help out in the classroom, for example, by setting the table at snack time or feeding the classroom hamster. Children are expected to wash their hands before snack time, keep personal belongings in their “cubby,” and put away toys before moving to a new activity.

Teachers also encourage a child to view herself as a resource for other children. For example, a teacher might ask a child who’s more competent at pouring water to help a child who is learning. Or she might ask a “veteran” preschooler to show a newcomer where the sand toys are kept.

Throughout their school years, much of children’s learning will take place in the company of their peers. In a high-quality preschool program, children are introduced to the behaviors required to function successfully in a kindergarten classroom. For example, during group activities such as “circle time,” children learn to focus attention on the teacher, listen while others are speaking, and wait their turn to talk.

7 Preschool promotes language and cognitive skills

Preschool-age children’s language skills are nurtured in a “language-rich” environment. Between the ages of 3 and 5, a child’s vocabulary grows from 900 to 2,500 words, and her sentences become longer and more complex. In a conversational manner, and without dominating the discussion, teachers help children stretch their language skills by asking thought-provoking questions and introducing new vocabulary during science, art, snack time, and other activities. Children have many opportunities to sing, talk about favorite read-aloud books, and act out stories.

A young child’s cognitive skills are strengthened by engaging in a wide range of hands-on activities that challenge her to observe closely, ask questions, test her ideas or solve a problem. However, teachers understand that preschool children are not logical in the adult sense of the word; their explanations of what makes a plant grow or why people get old, may not involve cause and effect. For example, “people get old because they have birthdays.” They may rely on their senses and “magical thinking” rather than on reason to explain why wood floats in water and rocks sink – “The rock likes to be on the bottom because it’s cooler.”
8 Preschool teachers nurture a child’s curiosity

Teachers observe, ask questions and listen to children’s ideas during these activities — “correct” answers are not the goal. To nurture their curiosity and motivation to learn, teachers use children’s interests and ideas to create activities. And even a simple, chance event – such as a child’s discovery of a snail in the outdoor play area — can be turned into an exciting opportunity to learn.

Preschool-age children have active imaginations and learn through make-believe play. Teachers know that the line between reality and fantasy is often not clear to a young child. Sometimes this results in fears of monsters under the bed. But imagination also fuels learning. For example, when a group of children creates a make-believe pet store, they will practice many social and cognitive skills as they assign roles to each child, figure out categories of pet supplies and how to organize them, make signs to label products; help their “customers” select the right shampoo or cat toy; and take “money” for merchandize.

The imaginary play area in a high-quality preschool is well-stocked with costumes, “props,” and child-size household items such as stoves, sinks and cupboards. It’s often in this activity area that preschool-age children progress steadily from solitary play, to one-on-one play, to complicated group play.

9 Preschool activities boost pre-math and literacy skills

Young children show growing interest in pre-math and pre-literacy skills. They are curious and observant, and they want to be competent in the skills that their families and society value — such as reading the instructions for assembling a toy, or selecting the correct bills or coins to pay for a purchase. To prepare children for the academic demands of kindergarten, teachers offer a wide variety of games and activities that help children acquire the pre- math and literacy skills.

Singing an alphabet song while following along in a picture book builds a child’s awareness of the connections between alphabet letters and word sounds. Learning rhymes and chants helps them to notice the distinct sounds within words. Engaging children in a discussion about an exciting read-aloud story encourages their listening, comprehension, and expressive language skills. Playing with magnetic alphabet letters may inspire a child to ask a teacher to help her write the first letter of her name.

Matching games, sorting games, counting games, and board games build children’s understanding of number, categories and sequence, which supports later math learning. Putting together puzzles encourages children to notice patterns, plan ahead and problem-solve.

To sustain children’s excitement and motivation for learning, high-quality preschool and child care programs introduce early literacy and math skills not as isolated exercises, but in the context of activities that are interesting and meaningful to children.

10. Preschool helps develop motor skills

Physical coordination improves, allowing the child to explore her environment — and to challenge herself-in new ways. Young children are in motion for a good part of the day. High-quality preschool programs provide several opportunities daily for children to run, climb, and play active games. Activities are offered to help children develop fine motor skills, such as threading beads or cutting with scissors. And children are challenged through a variety of activities to build their hand-eye coordination and balance.


When you choose a high-quality program that suits your child and family, you can feel assured that your child is well cared for, is enjoying activities and making friends — and is building the knowledge, skills, and confidence to do well in kindergarten.

Family › Ay's Emotional Birthday Message To Daughter. by bodeluke(op): 5:35pm On Feb 01, 2017
Comedian AY's daughter, Michelle is 9-years-old today, and the proud dad took to his Instagram to recount how he had little or nothing when his wife was pregnant with her.He wrote;

"I had to catch a flight yesterday to make sure i am home for your special day my darling. Heaven knows that i am one of those parents that are busy in their everyday lives and forget to share with those they love how much they mean to them.

But today is a wonderful day to come home and celebrate what you mean to daddy. This is very important for me as i watched you come out of an operation alive only a few weeks ago. Besides buying you gifts or throwing a big birthday party for you, this is also a day of Thanksgiving. This a day to remind you how much you are loved by daddy.

Just before you came into this world 9 years ago, i remember how broke i was as a proposed father who could not even take care of himself, not to talk of your mum who followed me into the journey with hopes and aspirations for a better tomorrow.
Today, you have brought us goodluck. you have been a well behaved and God fearing child. there is absolutely nothing in comparison to your brilliance.
At your age you have resolved issues between daddy and mummy, you have also captured the culture of caring and giving to others who dont have. you make me walk with my shoulders high everytime i see your results or attend any of your school functions. You have proven to me that a local Warri boy can also be the father of an 'Ajebutter'. Michelle Folashade Adeola Makun,
You have brightened my world, you are like the sunlight that reflects on the raindrops of me and your mum's lives to make beautiful rainbows. you have been a blessing to us. Happy Birthday to the sweetest daughter ever!
Wish her a cool birthday guys

Sports › Unbelievable!! This 16-year-old Boy Is Taller Than Anyone In NBA And Also The Se by bodeluke(op): 12:14am On Feb 01, 2017
A young boy who is also an up and coming basketball player, has fascinated many people with his incredibly noteworthy height.



Robert Bobroczky is a 7-foot-7, 16-year-old freshman at SPIRE Institute, a state-of-the-art international academy in Geneva, Ohio, who is set to become the tallest player to ever play in the NBA and of the tallest in the history of the sport.
Bobroczky, a native of Romania, has been described as “so tall he doesn’t look real”.
At age 12, he was already 7 feet tall, and although his growth rate has slowed down over the last four years, he is still on track to become the eighteenth person in medical history to reach or surpass eight feet in height. Unfortunately, his weight has been having trouble keeping up with his growth, and at 7-foot-7, he weighs only 190 pounds. Robert is honing is skills on the basketball court, but if he is to reach the NBA, the first priority is bulking up.
The world first heard about Robert Bobroczky a couple of years ago, when a video of him towering over other teenagers on the basketball court went viral on Facebook, with over 3 million views. He was 7-foot-3 at the time, basically a giant for his age. That’s when Bobby Bossman, Executive Director of SPIRE Institute became interested in the young man.
“Oddly enough, it all started on Facebook,” he told Maxpreps. “We reached out to him a year ago and got to know him and his family. They trusted us and came over to America to visit and here we are. He’s been at our school for three months now and lives on campus.”
Robert’s father, Zsiga, was also a professional basketball player who played on Romania’s national team, alongside 7-foot-7 Gheorghe Muresan, one of the two tallest players to have ever played in the NBA. His father is “just” 7-foot-1 tall, though. He and his wife agreed to move to America to help Robert reach his full potential as a basketball player.

Health › 6 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Shave Off Your Pubic Hair. by bodeluke(op): 7:46pm On Jan 31, 2017
In case you don't know, Presence Of Pubic Hair Shows You’re Open For S’ex





The presence of pubic hair has had a biological connotation since time immemorial. Pubic hair served as an easy way for partners to identify the $exual maturity of their spouses and their intention to have s’ex.

Asides being a way of identifying s’exual maturity, in earlier times, men were thought to use the presence of pubic hair as a visual identifier of sorts to find their way around their target which is the vagina.

Pubic Hair Has Been Linked With S’exual Pheromones
Studies regarding the link between pubic hair and pheromones are inconclusive, but quite a number of facts have been ascribed to the theory that links pubic hair and pheromones. Pheromones are chemicals released by the apocrine glands and one theory that has continually revolved is that pubic hair helps to trap pheromones that attract potential mates.

Pheromones are known to attach to pubic hair and have been thought to increase $exual stimulation and arousal in potential $exual mates.

Pubic Hair Helps To Prevent Friction
If you’re intent on avoiding skin irritation during $exual intercourse, you may want to consider leaving your pubic hair. Your pubes tend to cushion the effects of vigorous $exual activity because they contain natural oils which act as lubricants when your skin and that of your partner contacts. The oils will help to prevent skin chaffing and the inherent pain and discomfort you may get from it later on.

You Can Easily Catch An Infection
If you’re the type that loves being completely well shaved, you may want to watch it as you’re highly prone to some types of $exual infection. A recent research study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology found out that 60% of women developed were likely to develop one form of health issue or the other after shaving off their pubic hair.

Some of the common health issues that may arise after shaving, according to the study include cuts, abscesses, infection of the hair root and severe bacteria infections. The study also found out that pubic hair formed some form of natural defense against some types of $exually transmitted infections including Herpes and genital warts.

You Waste Valuable Time Shaving Your Pubic Hair
A lot of $exuality experts claim that humans spend a lot of valuable time shaving off their pubic hair. It is estimated that an average woman spends about 60 days of her life time shaving off pubic hair.

If one is to consider the various rewardingthings that could be done with this time such as learning a musical instrument or a new skill, you’d agree that the pubic hair given to us by nature may need to stay on.

People Of The Past Had Myths Surrounding Pubic Hair
Various civilizations from the past including the Romans, Greeks and the Egyptians had reservations concerning pubic hair. Perhaps in enhancing their disgust for it, only slaves were allowed to keep theirs in an effort to boost fertility among people believed to be of lower cla$$.

These myths did very little to boost the
superiority of these civilizations but have nonetheless helped to point to the dangers of body shaming. Nature gave the hair for a reason and you may want to leave them there for a more fulfilling experience.

Thanks for reading!!

Crime › So Bad! Girlfriend Blindfolds Lover During S*x And Cuts Off His Manhood All Beca by bodeluke(op): 6:00pm On Jan 27, 2017
A jealous lover has left her man in serious pains after she lured him to her house for s*x and cut off his manhood.



A jilted woman cut off her lover’s p*nis with a gardening tool before running down the street with it after he told her he was marrying someone else, reports Dailymail.
It was gathered that the woman was pained after finding out he was planning to wed another woman. So she hatched a plan to stop him sleeping with the other woman by luring him to her home for cex, but after blindfolding the 23-year-old, she grabbed a sickle and slashed off his privates.
However, the victim who was left in pain failed to tell his parents the truth as he told them he cut off his own manhood in order to cover for the girl. The incident happened at his girlfriend’s home nearby in Naugawan Darshan Singh, India.
A police officer said: ‘He told doctors he cut his privates on his own.’ The unnamed couple had been going out together for around four years.
Kotwali police chief Anil Upadhya said: ‘A case of attempted murder is being registered against a 20-year-old girl who is a neighbour of the victim.

The 18-year-old, who cannot be legally named, was admitted to the government Super Specialty Hospital, in Nagpur, India, on September 29.
Dr Pramod Giri, head of the neurosurgery department, said: “The patient was born with this congenital deformity.
“Though the family knew about this unusual growth, they did not see a doctor due to the social stigma and superstition attached to it.
“His family and neighbours thought he was an incarnation of Monkey God Hanuman, so they never looked at it as a disease.

“It was only the boy grew up and started facing problems, they got to know that this is a deformity.”

Dr Divik Mittal, assistant professor at medical college and hospital, said: “As the size of the tail grew over the years, a bone developed inside it that began to press on the boy’s back.”
A team of six doctors, headed by Dr Giri, operated on the boy in an hour long surgery on Monday.
The teenager, who will be discharged later this week, has spoken of his delight after the surgery.
He said: “I feel liberated now as I am not a Monkey God anymore. Now, there won’t be any queue of superstitious people in front of my house.

“I hated being called or likened with the Gods anyway.”
According to the Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons, there have been six such cases in the country.

Science/Technology › Robot Deliveries Are About To Hit U.S. Streets by bodeluke(op): 5:50pm On Jan 26, 2017
The newest deliveryman in Redwood City, California, and Washington, D.C., isn't a person, but a six-wheeled robot.
In early February, delivery startup Postmates will begin testing ground robots in D.C., and DoorDash will follow suit in Redwood City.
Customers placing orders during daylight may receive an order from the robots, which autonomously navigate sidewalks. The robots hold deliveries in their hulls, which flip open with the push of a button. For now, Starship Technologies, which makes the robots, will have an employee walking behind the robot to keep it out of trouble and answer any questions from curious pedestrians.
Starship Technologies, which is led by Skype's cofounders, has covered 16,000 miles in the last year, including tests in Britain, Germany, Switzerland and Estonia. The DoorDash and Postmates programs are its first partnerships in the United States.

Starship Technologies, which is led by Skype's cofounders, has covered 16,000 miles in the last year, including tests in Britain, Germany, Switzerland and Estonia. The DoorDash and Postmates programs are its first partnerships in the United States.

"It's been almost like a dream from the robot's perspective," said Starship Technologies COO Allan Martinson, of operating on wide, uncrowded American sidewalks. It's much harder for the robot to handle, for example, London's sidewalks.
Five robots will operate in D.C., and will be limited to parts of Northwest Washington. In Redwood City, there will be 10 robots.

Cofounder Stanley Tang said DoorDash will use the robots for deliveries under a mile. He said his human deliverymen are better suited for long-range deliveries and large orders. The Starship robot travels about the speed of a pedestrian, making them ill-suited for extended trips.

"If you happen to live within 500 feet of a restaurant and you order a $5 beverage, I think the likelihood of you getting assigned a robot will go up," he told CNN. There's no way to guarantee one will receive a robot delivery.
Tang said he wasn't sure if the robot deliveries will end up being cheaper or more expensive than traditional methods. Neither company will charge extra for a robot delivery.
Postmates, which makes 1.5 million deliveries a month, said it will expand the use of robots if the results are good.

Family › Please Help “my Wife Wont Let Me Have S*x With Until I Pay Her N500” – Man Plead by bodeluke(op): 9:13pm On Jan 25, 2017
A man identified as Sunday Olaosebikan has taken his bedroom affairs to Igando Customary Court in Lagos, pleading with the court to dissolve his 7 years old marriage with wife, Mutiatu for always demanding money before mating with him.


File Photo!

While pleading his case, he said:

“My wife always refuses me cex until she collects N500.

“This, I am sure, is why she has not conceived after the birth of our only child, who is six-year old now.

“I am tired of paying N500 per round before having cex with my wife, please dissolve the union.”

He said further that his wife is after his life because she stabs him with dangerous weapons whenever they have misunderstanding and whenever he ask for cex during arguments, she brings out knife threatening to kill him, he further told the court.

“Many a times when I request for cex or during argument, she brings the knife out threatening to stab me.

She is just aggressive and violent in nature; she may kill me if I continue with the marriage.

Because of her violent nature, I ran away from the house to avoid untimely death.”

The judge, Mr Adegboyega Omilola who presided over the case adjourned it to the 28th of February in order for the respondent to appear at the hearing.

Health › Check Out This Eight Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do With Human Sperm. by bodeluke(op): 7:38pm On Jan 24, 2017
Sperm are single-purposed: They're optimized to get to an egg and inseminate it. But that doesn't mean there isn't more to this cell than meets the ovum. Sperm, along with its travelling companion, semen, are surprisingly versatile and adaptable substances. Here are eight unconventional things you can do with human sperm.

1. Skin softener

Sperm contains an anti-oxidant called spermine that is thought to diminish wrinkles, smooth the skin, and help with acne. Looking to take advantage of these much sought after attributes, a Norwegian company called Bioforskning (you can't make this stuff up) has synthesized the compound and is selling it as a facial cream. These, uh, spermine facials cost $250 and can be ordered through Townhouse Spa, or for $125 Graceful Services.

2. Cooking

Those looking to take their culinary skills to the next level should check out a book by Fotie Photenhauer called Natural Harvest, a collection of semen-based recipes. The book description:


Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties. Like fine wine and cheeses, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants. Despite all of these positive qualities, semen remains neglected as a food.

This book hopes to change that.

Once you overcome any initial hesitation, you will be surprised to learn how wonderful semen is in the kitchen. Semen is an exciting ingredient that can give every dish you make an interesting twist. If you are a passionate cook and are not afraid to experiment with new ingredients - you will love this cook book!
3. Painting


Artist Martin Von Ostrowski is known for using bodily fluids as his paint mediums (including his infamous portrait of Hitler made from his own excrement). Back in 2008, Von Ostrowski put out an exhibition at the Gay Museum in Berlin in which he featured works painted with his own semen. A single painting requires about 40 ejaculations, which, given the size of the exhibition, suggests that he needed to ejaculate at least 1,000 times. Impressive! Von Ostrowski is able to keep these large quantities of sperm fresh by freezing it.

4. Invisible ink


Back during World War I, the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) discovered that semen could act as an effective invisible ink. In June 1915, Walter Kirke, deputy head of military intelligence in France, wrote in his diary that chief Mansfield Cumming (yes), was "making enquiries for invisible inks at the London University." Rumor at the time had it that semen worked particularly well, and follow-up studies showed that it did not react to the usual methods of detection (including iodine vapor). It was also readily available for any intrepid secret service agent willing to make the sacrifice. The practice went into use, but it was noted that on at least one occasion that an agent had to be reminded to use only fresh supplies of the "ink" when people started noticing an unusual smell.

5. An anti-Depressant for women

Another potential application for semen is its use as an anti-depressant. This idea is quite controversial — but there is a modicum of scientific evidence to support it. A study done back in 2002 showed that women who were directly exposed to semen were less depressed. The researchers concluded that this was on account of mood-altering hormones in the semen being absorbed through the vagina — and that they had ruled out other explanations (New Scientist didn't entirely agree — proposing a number of their own). That said, as Jesse Bering has pointed out, "there's good in this goo":


In fact, semen has a very complicated chemical profile, containing over 50 different compounds (including hormones, neurotransmitters, endorphins and immunosupressants) each with a special function and occurring in different concentrations within the seminal plasma. Perhaps the most striking of these compounds is the bundle s the bundle of mood-enhancing chemicals in semen...Such anxiolytic chemicals include, but are by no means limited to, cortisol (known to increase affection), estrone (which elevates mood), prolactin (a natural antidepressant), oxytocin (also elevates mood), thyrotropin-releasing hormone (another antidepressant), melatonin (a sleep-inducing agent) and even serotonin (perhaps the most well-known antidepressant neurotransmitter).
6. Ovulation control

A recent study at the University of Saskatchewan has discovered that a protein in semen acts on the female brain to prompt ovulation — and that it's the same molecule that regulates the growth, maintenance, and survival of nerve cells. As a result, it's very possible that semen acts as a hormonal signal, working through the hypothalamus of the female brain and the pituitary gland. This in turn triggers the release of other hormones that signal the ovaries to release an egg.

7. Help with morning sickness


Okay, this is probably the last thing a woman is thinking about when she's suffering through morning sickness, but psychologist Gordon Gallup at SUNY-Albany, a male member of the human species who specializes in human reproductive competition and behavior, is suggesting that MouthAction could serve as a kind of cure. Gordon theorizes that expectant women become ill and vomit because their bodies are rejecting the sperm's genetic material as something foreign and unfamiliar. His idea, which was presented at 2012 Northeastern Evolutionary Psychology Society, suggests that women can build up their immunity by ingesting the sperm of the baby's father. Gallup's conclusion is a bit hard to swallow, but there's also a scientific study supporting the idea that MouthAction can reduce the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women.

8. Archival storage of information


In what gives new meaning to the term "hard drive", human sperm — a transmitter of DNA — could be used to store information — a lot of information. We recently reported on a breakthrough by Sriram Kosui and his team at Harvard and Johns Hopkins in which he devised a technique for archiving information in DNA. The process, which takes advantage of DNA's data sequencing attributes, could be used to store as much as one petabyte of data (one petabyte = 1,024 terabytes) in a volume of 1.5 mg of DNA. Because genetic information can be packaged in three dimensions, that equates to a storage volume of about one cubic millimeter — so you'll finally have a secure and ironic place to store your massive digital porn collection.
