Advances in Online Dating
If those inane questionnaires that online dating sites use to try and pair you with that special someone have yet to pay off, perhaps Eric Holzle can help. For $2,000, you can join Holzle's dating site, ScientificMatch.com, and he'll match you with someone who is "genetically compatible" with you. Yes, you'll need to provide the company with a DNA sample. ("Just a cotton swab you rub on the inside of your mouth for a few seconds," says Holzle.) And don't expect to hear about how the technology has worked wonders for Holzle himself: He's 45 and single. [WP]
