Okay, first it was a hammerhead shark ... now a blacktip shark has played Mary in a new version of the Immaculate Conception. Are aquariums just monitoring their sharks better, or is there some weirdness at work here?
I'm thinking big picture, the way several frog species are imperiled because the males don't form genitalia, how there has been a spike in the number of hormone-related cancers in women of child-bearing age, how girls are experiencing menarche at a younger and younger age on average.
Maybe it's nothing, but maybe it's all part of some environmental weirdness. I'm convinced that 300 years from now, assuming humans are still around, they're going to look at us with the same incredulity we have when we talk about Elizabethans smearing mercury on their face for skincare, only the People of the Future (probably the Finned People of the Underwater Future) will be saying something like "can you believe that instead of powering their scubaboats with it, those people actually ate high fructose corn syrup? No wonder we were nearly made extinct!"
