Mushroom Love

More pics on the theme of kissing. It was a photo competition at the guardian, and as usual they picked the predictable cliche as the winner. I think this one should have won. It's the most fun of the bunch, but these mushrooms made my heart sing.

Kiss The Frog Only If You Really Mean It

An article about the science and alchemy of kissing:

In a recent study, Fisher's team used a medical scanning technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging to scan the brains of 49 men and women who said they were deeply in love. Of the volunteers, 17 had just fallen in love, 15 had been rejected and 17 said they were still in love after an average of 21 years of marriage. They concluded that romantic love can become long-term "if you kiss the right person", Fisher said.
