Spicy foods cause the release of endorphins so acquiring the ability to eat hotter and hotter foods does have a beneficial effect on people. It's why it becomes addictive.

Because an acquired taste isn't just tolerating foods, it's actively enjoying them. Hardly anyone likes blue cheese or red wine at first try but a great cheese platter and a great bottle of wine is one of life's real joys for me now. Giving up on food that challenges your palette is like giving up on anything that…

I'm not sure what having a PhD has to do with anything. Cavemen could make art using nothing but dirt, water and their fingers, elephants can make art, developmentally disabled people make and respond emotionally to art. You don't have to be smart or educated, you just have to have emotions. But if you think art is…

oh well as long as her outrageous demands are pleasantly worded...

So take the Ebola dresses you've already paid for and deal with it. If you don't have Jlo money you can't act like a diva.

This was by far the best comment in this entire thread.

The biggest douche I ever dated bought a pair of these. They're like a genetic marker for being a complete twat.

The first step to healing is admitting you have a problem. Thank you for your bravery.

I only said something because, as an Australian,I know how cranky our NZ cousins get when their shit is attributed to Australia! And yeah, the cuttlefish is the greatest of creatures.

Ah, well we're in agreement then!

They're New Zealand birds

While you're right about generalising, I myself have never met a woman who really cared about watches or could tell the difference between the brands on first glance. I think it's probably more similar to the way some women may covet a Birkin handbag. They're status symbols that says something to other women. While…

Also, look into the type of account you're depositing your salary into. I don't know what the options are in the US, but in Australia ING Direct offers an everyday back account that gives you 2% cash back for every paywave purchase under $100, no ATM withdrawl fees for using any banks machines and the highest…

Women have so much useless fashion shit we're judged on. At least yours doesn't actually deform your feet the way heels do.

The plural of anecdote is not data. The placebo effect is a powerful thing.

What if you're both and just don't get any sleep?

Except I won't be in a coma, I'll have been wearing my invisible helmet and both my skull and hair will be fine. Also they did present it as an alternative to helmets without saying how "uncool" they are since the only person talking about how "uncool" helmets are, is you. The inventors said they were "bulky" and…

I come from a large family (oldest of 5) and I have no idea how to interact with kids. I'm the awkward auntie who is kind of energetic and fun for about 2 minutes and is then so incredibly bored by them that I have to wander off and get a cocktail. I think you just need to be genetically predisposed to it because hell…

If the only people you have to mourn you are your kids, I feel very sorry for you.

Man, climb down off of your cross. People don't have children for altruistic reasons either. They do it because it's something that makes THEM happy, because they want to pass on their family name or leave a genetic legacy or because they want a tiny human who will love them unconditionally. And you know what? There's…
