We subscribe to an email publication called News of the Weird that specializes in incredible-but-true stories. It arrives every two to four weeks. Look what the lead story in News of the Weird is in this morning's issue:

* According to a January report in the San Francisco Chronicle, the
percentage of gay men who have risky sex without condoms
("barebackers") is growing, and a tiny minority of those men have
taken their passion a step further: There are now gay "Russian
roulette" parties publicized on the Internet (the latest scheduled for
February in Houston) in which HIV-negative men ("bug chasers")
invite HIV-positive men ("givers of the gift") for anonymous sex so
that every act carries the possibility of death. A gay writer told the Chronicle that he has spoken to participants and is certain that the parties are not just another Internet hoax.

I wonder how many individuals comprise the "tiny minority" of gay risktakers who play "Russian roulette." I hope it's a very tiny minority.

(BTW, if anyone wants to get this entertaining if sometimes macabre e-zine, do this:
