It would be far more interesting to see correllations between individual answers. Such as, what percent of men sit (and who are the standing women who replace them to make the figures equal).

And breakdowns by age, etc.

Although maybe it wouldn't be that interesting.:sleep:

Holy fuck.

New medical study shows that 40 per cent of women have the biological potential to ovulate more than once during a cycle. "The results help explain for the first time why some women get pregnant while on birth control pills, and why the window for safe sex may not exist at all for many women."

In a similar vein, the WSJ had a short article today on a sterilization procedure for women that's less intrusive than tubal ligation -- they stick something or other in each fallopian tube and it scars over, which keeps eggs from going down to the dangerous place where they might be attacked by sperm. It's never reversible, however, unlike tubal ligation.

Death of "metrosexual"

It is time for all hipper-than-thous to banish this word -- tonight I read a personal ad where the guy said he'd been called one and described what it is. Before you know it, your grandma will look up from her mojito and ask you if you are a metrosexual.

And you wonder why our beloved metrosexuals have been calling for the pisco sour revolution.

Plagiarism Witch Hunt Continues; CtD Starting to Worry

Could Japanese Author Be Dylan's Muse?

Doesn't surprise me. The entire B-side of "Blonde on Blonde" was lifted straight from the Tale of Genji.

Yes but now the common usage is getting really annoying. Here's a Craig's List guy who claims to be an anti-metrosexual.

"You know you reap what you sew. Your example of public behavior and habits of faithfulness or lack thereof, will ultimately determine my behavior when big sister isn't watching. And that's cool, because if you can fuck other people, then I can make a porno with your little sister, because after all, this is America here.... "

I'm not sure I understand what he's getting at with the first sentence, but it does show that he's got the confusion/merging of traditional gender roles down. Mary and Laura and Ma (and maybe even Nellie) sewed. Pa and Arthur (Arnold?) and the big guy who lived nearby reaped.

From the CraigsList ad:
You're in college, recently out of college, or just freeloading with whomever. You're relatively immature and instable. And you don't give a flying fuck. One way or the other, it gives you the opportunity to catch the Price is Right four or five times a week. You don't have a problem with frat boys, Steel Reserve 40s, keggers, scotch, Champagne, weed, butts, Natty Ice, and watching lesbian porno on the black box.
My God, it's like he can see right through me. If I can just get over my silly hangups about pouring liquor on my tits like Elizabeth Shue and taking it up the ass, I think I will finally have found my soulmate.
