Germany Has A DNA Based Dating Service

Germany, has come up with an extremely modern way to find dates online. A dating service has been set up by biology students in Munich, Germany that will test subjects' DNA t find the most compatible gene pools.

Sarah A. Port is the 25 year founder of this dating service. It is a 120 pound a time Gmatch service that uses saliva samples to test whether potential partners are compatible and it claims a much higher success rate than any other match making website.

Sarah further explained why this DNA based site would work better because every time we meet someone, in a matter of seconds we get to know if we are attracted to them or not. Similarly, we also naturally have the habit of sniffing the scent of others. Thus, chemicals or pheromones play a crucial part in match making.

This is pretty interesting stuff I guess.

Broadcasters Ban 'The Simpsons'

Germany, Australia and Switzerland have decided to ban episodes of The Simpsons that make fun of nuclear disasters keeping in mind of what just recently happened in Japan - the radiation issues at the nuclear plant.

The broadcasters said that they will not cut scenes but just ban the episodes with such content. So, far a total of eight such episodes have been banned. In one of the episodes scientist Marie and Pierre Curie died of radiation poisoning, which is not a nice thing to show.

The nuclear plant in Springfield is one of the key elements in the running satirical cartoon that is the highlight of such an action. Though Homer is in charge of the safety but often the story shows negative scenes like once they showed nuclear waste was dumped in children's playground. Similarly, they have shown plutonium used as a paper weight. They have also shown three-eye mutant fish, melt downs and cracked cooling towers during various episodes.

Although the opening credits already clarify the satirical approach but in light of the things in reality, the broadcasters felt it is better to avoid showing such episodes.
