The Scientific End of Men - Y-Chromosome is Shrinking to Disappear

(Click on Image to Enlarge)
Believe it or not, it's true and it's scary. Recent genetic research were conducted to prove that the Y-chromosome, the male chromosome, is in fact shrinking and with time it is about to disappear. Thus, resulting in the end of the entire male gender, and then the end of the sexual reproduction of the human species.

In every cell in our bodies, there is a set of 23 chromosome pairs that determine our characteristics and determine everything about how our body looks and works. 22 of them represent everything similar in our species between men and women, except for the last pair, they're either two X's or an X and a Y. The 23rd pair represent the sex of the person, either XX for females, or XY for males.

Now that you know what exactly we're talking about. The first complete human cell consisted of two identical XX chromosome and each has about 1,000 genes, the Y-chromosome is an evolution, or a mutation of one of the X's. Throughout the years, the Y-chromosome has shrunk to have less than 80 genes out of the 1,000 the X still has. The picture says it all, look at the X and the Y.

Top 10 Ways to Destroy Earth

Whether it took the Earth 4.5 billion years to get to where it is today (or a mere seven days), destroying it might take a lot less time. This presents a host of methods for ending the planet -- and life -- as we know it. Enjoy!

Total existence failure

You will need: nothing

Method: No method. Simply sit back and twiddle your thumbs as, completely by chance, all 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms making up the planet Earth suddenly, simultaneously and spontaneously cease to exist. Note: the odds against this actually ever occurring are considerably greater than a googolplex to one. Failing this, some kind of arcane (read: scientifically laughable) probability-manipulation device may be employed.

Utter, utter rubbish.
