What's with all the shame regarding naked bodies?

Ha, that sounds awesomely adorable. Also really strange. I'm trying to imagine being able to tell that other people are other people but not being able to tell I'm me.

But their eyes follow you around the room!

Word.

While being one of those people who are always wary of genetic determinism in studies of human behavior, I've got another question about this study, or the study of violence in general. It, more or less, comes down tone one question: what is the definition of violence? And more importantly, can the use of guns be…

There are few things on the Internet that inspire joy in me like the the-pope-is-a-clandestine-sith-lord meme.

Darth Maledictus you mean.

I must say that The Throne of the Crescent Moon left me unimpressed.

I would second your rawr, but my heart belongs to Spike.

I mean, I still do, but I'm sort of getting over it. Whenever I order pizza I emphasize to make it without oregano. Sometimes they listen, sometimes they don't. So…
