Think about the last time you ran into a coworker or family member spouting some easily disproven conspiracy theory — somebody who still thinks Obama’s birth certificate is a fake or that Dick Cheney arranged 9/11 to cover up his theft of $2.3 trillion from the government. When they were shown proof that their conspiracy theory was wrong, did they back down? Did they get this look of...

My name is Kelly Schomburg, I’m the girl with the red hair in these pictures. I was protesting at the Occupy Wall Street march yesterday when I and several other women were sprayed with mace and subsequently arrested.

Mothers are like the wind...
Cary Tenis, Salon’s abstractly loquacious advice columnist, offers a reader this helpful advice for dealing with a disapproving, overbearing mother:
Sometimes it is helpful to imagine mothers not as humans but as natural forces, so we see that arguing with them is like arguing with the wind. You have chosen to chart a path directly into this headwind, and you are trying to have a dialogue...

Crank was action movie with all the pointless shit like comic...

Male Organ and Economic Growth - Does Size Matter?... →
This paper explores the link between economic development and penile length between 1960 and 1985. It estimates an augmented Solow model utilizing the Mankiw-Romer-Weil 121 country dataset. The size of male organ is found to have an inverse U-shaped relationship with the level of GDP in 1985. It can alone explain over 15% of the variation in GDP. The GDP maximizing size is around 13.5 centimetres,...
