National Geographic bills its “Sizing Up Sperm” special as “the story of human conception as it has never been told before,” using “real people to represent 250 million sperm on their marathon quest to be first to reach a single egg.”

National Geographic’s dramatization of a Giant Tit rampaging the forest was unavailable for preview.

But don’t get your hopes up:

A hospital official says former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is recovering after being hospitalized in the South Korean capital with stomach pains.

And there is no doubt this man is a war criminal.

This may not be the Big One, but Tom Lehrer has had the epitaph ready for years: “Irony died the day they gave Kissinger the Peace Prize.”

Eyes up, gentlemen:

A Manhattan woman whose picture was used as a sexual aid in the hit movie “Couples Retreat” has filed a $10 million lawsuit over her inspiring — and unwitting — appearance in the Vince Vaughn flick.

Irina Krupnik “only learned of defendants’ lascivious use of her photo in the film” after it was released in theaters — and was horrified to discover it was being used as a “masturbatory prop” for a character played by Jon Favreau, the makeup artist says in papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Remember, “Couples Retreat” is a work of fiction. Nobody would ever use Ms. Krupnik’s image as whacking material in real life.

The city of Prescott, Arizona, would like to apologize in advance to anyone offended by any lingering Spanish displayed on its Census street banner. A sister banner — entirely in Spanish — was removed after complaints from four dozen citizens. And two city council members.

Step One:

[Utah] House Majority Leader Kevin Garn admitted as the Legislature adjourned Thursday night to a nude hot-tubbing incident with a teenage girl 25 years ago.

Step Two:

The Layton Republican said he entered into a confidentiality agreement with the woman in 2002 and paid her $150,000.

Step Three:

“She agreed to keep this 25-year-old incident confidential. Now that this issue is coming up again, it is apparent to me that this payment was also a mistake.”

We have a winner!
