So? Scientists have "proved" that the DNA of humans includes Aliens? How did the Scientists get the DNA of aliens to compare?

What is an Alien? I classify it as something from a different Planet (we have a few here but that isn't the point). NOBODY has been to another planet. The Moon isn't a planet.

Is God an Alien? He created us in his IMAGE, didn't he? So if we came from aliens, then God is the Original Little Green Man. Sure, all Catholics will take on that image.

So many questions for the Aussies, Mellies and Mantras in this World. Meanwhile, Gillard and her downs syndrome deer in the spotlight Treasurer, hasn't a fucking clue.

Great music is 'as good as sex'
Listening to great music is as good as sex, according to new research.
Great music is 'as good as sex'
The brain assigns value to music through the ancient reward circuitry of dopamine which reinforces behaviours absolutely necessary for our survival

It sparks the same part of the brain triggered by a delicious meal or a night of passion.

Scans found areas in the brain's 'pleasure' centre became active when people heard a song for the first time.

And the more the listener enjoyed what they were hearing, the stronger the connections were in the reward region known as the nucleus accumbens. This is operated by the chemical dopamine which promotes desire.

I don't find that all that surprising. We design music to evoke emotions, and undoubtedly, the great composers are extremely good at what they do, provoking passions (patriotism, anger, melancholy, beauty, and yes, sexual as well).
