Link Round-Up: The Beast with Two Backs

Love, sex, reproduction and the beast with two backs. All safe for work unless otherwise noted:

Baby born from sperm frozen for 21 years. A new world record, apparently.
I can only imagine that the author of She Comes First has little trouble getting dates. Any sexologist who cites Occam’s Razor is okay with me.
Singles: Flirt Up Your Life is some wacky German game–Love Connection meets The Sims, with ‘romantic-erotic situations’.
When does an affair begin? Not with the first forbidden touch…but with the first forbidden thought. It’s apparently Every Woman’s Battle.
The weblog of a Seattle dominatrix. Slightly naughty for work.

Bonus link that is not in any way remotely safe for work or, you know, the prudish. Click at your own risk: Either this is a remarkable and extremely painful tattoo, body paint or an excellent Photoshop job.

Incidentally, if you want to see all of the recent link round-ups, you can do so here. That’s a lot of links. How many, I wonder? Surely there’s some handy online tool that will parse the page and count the number of links for me. Anyone?

If your pages were XHTML some simple XSLT would handle this for you.

This bit of JavaScript should work though (the formatting is screwed though):

function countLinks() {
var count = 0;
var aElements = document.getElementsByTagName(’a');

for (var i = 0; i < aElements.length; i++) {
var aElement = aElements[ i ];
var href = aElement.getAttribute(’href’);
if (href != null) {
count++;
}
}
window.alert(”Number of links: ” + count);
}
