That's bloody horrible.

I feel sorry for the husband - who was presumably all jacked up and excited for 9 months - finding out both his Mrs is a tramp and that the child is not even his.

Well that was edifying. After all these years I still haven't learned to not click on a link you post without any title or context.

It'd be ace if the post actually displayed the full link so as to at least give you a heads up. :lol:

Who would have thought that getting into an enclosure with a poorly treated apex predator might end badly?

Looks like the makings of a joke.

A white supremacist, a biker and an islamic woman walk into a bar.

The security immediately throws them out.

They protest and ask why?

The guard replies, You didn't pay the Cover charge..............

I'll see myself out. :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:

Thank you and good night.

As much as I would love to do an encore, I've got nothing.

So I will leave on a high note like the great George Constanza.

Men who sleep with multiple women REDUCE their risk of prostate cancer

Men who have slept with more than 20 women slashed their risk by 28%

Bedding over 20 women slashes risk of getting aggressive tumours by 19%

Celibacy doubles the risk of the disease, researchers found

Having sex with more than 20 men also doubles risk of prostate cancer

This is compared to men who have never slept with another man

Having one male partner does not increase the risk of the disease

I'm not sure how "many women" v's "one woman many times" can skew the results to the degree that they can say multiple women or 20+ reduces prostate cancer by x%.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

I'm sure they have their scientific backing, I just find it amazing that they can differentiate to such an extreme degree between the two circumstamces.

I wonder if they controlled for frequency of intercourse when they stated that multiple partners decreases your risk.

People prefer electric shocks to tedium

In one telling experiment, each of 55 participants was seated alone in a quiet, empty room with nothing to do—except they had access to a button that would deliver an electric shock to their ankle which they had previously described as “unpleasant.” In their 15 minutes of solitude, 67 percent of the men and 25 percent of the women chose to shock themselves instead of simply sitting quietly. Lead author Timothy Wilson, a University of Virginia psychologist, says that with smartphones, tablets and TVs within reach anytime, many of us may not know what to do when we have time to ponder without distraction—but the electric shock results were still surprising. He suggests we could make our downtime—even traffic jams and waiting rooms—more relaxing and interesting by learning how to be alone with our thoughts.

“I suspect that practice helps, as does finding topics that you enjoy thinking about in detail and can return to time and again, so that you don't have to start from scratch each time,” Wilson says.
