Ovum + spermatocyte = zygote. Zygote is a type of embryo that is single celled but can only exist through fertilization. Ova are released prior to periods and are unfertilized. It’s possible a period happens after fertilization with failed implantation.

This is wrong. An embryo is a fertilized egg, and there are many that are frozen after egg retrieval and fertilization as part of IVF.

I think your memory of how that rally evolved is deeply flawed. Colbert was always in character… He announced his rally as the march to keep fear alive.

Rocko fought city hall! Rocko fought corporate America! They are big and he is small, Rocko fought city hall.

If you live in the magical world in Harry Potter, wouldn’t that make you a squib?

Now I disagree with the ridiculous arguments they have been making in favor of this, but I think whole milk should be offered as an option to school kids. There are increasingly more studies that show the fear of fats in food is unjustified (not to mention that manufacturers’ solution was to replace fat with sugar in their products).

You wouldn’t download a car. And everyone was like absolutely I would.

Risky to tell them they’re too old. Teenagers are full of mischief, they don’t get the treat and you get the trick – eggs on your front door!

I like puzzles and Chris Ramsay has some great production and epic puzzles.

I am overseas and got the notification of this special election on the last day I could request a ballot. I didn’t know what it was about and didn’t manage to request in time. I see now that it’s about raising the threshold from 50 to 60% to pass citizen amendments to the constitution, which would impact the upcoming measure on the ballot in November.
