Oh, hey, I just said this same thing further up, only to scroll down and find someone had the same idea! Just imagine the headline starts with the word, "A..."

Imagine the headline with "A" at the beginning... as in, "A London Bridge Dons an LED Gown for Queen’s Diamond Jubilee." But I'm just trying to live by the principle of charity.

Pretty much any stimulant can cause hallucinations in high enough doses. The dopaminergic pathways of the brain stem that are affected by cocaine (it's a reuptake inhibitor) are the same ones that cause the "positive" symptoms in schizophrenia - hallucinations, delusions, disordered thoughts, etc. In fact, when…

Psychology is a social science. Since you mention faculty, I assume you're talking about schools, in which case it's pretty individual. UW, for instance, houses the social sciences within the College of Arts and Sciences, which includes everything from dance and drama to linguistics and languages to mathematics,…

I suppose I wouldn't care if athletes were employees of the school, rather than students. I may be a little rosy in my view of academia, but I think you should either be there to learn or not be a distraction. I fully support the notion of athletes getting degrees - the average sports career just isn't that long, and…

Don't worry, I understand most people don't become famous, and I'm okay with that. However, schools do compete on the quality of their academics, and a good PhD researcher can bring in millions of dollars per year in grants that pay for things the school would otherwise have to buy (like expensive neuron culturing…

As someone who came from a family that barely scraped by, I can't say I have any sympathy for someone who is brought into college just to sell tickets. The idea of paying student athletes seems demeaning to college in general - that you should only have to work hard and study if you suck at sports. I don't doubt that…

There's a Nobel Prize for the person who describes the cause(s) of atrial fibrillation, mark my words.

Pay college athletes? For what, exactly? Maybe I'm just jealous, but that seems awfully unfair to everyone else who goes to college. But at least I have an iPhone. Eat that, football guy!

I'm pretty sure the parades are to impress the people, not us... like Stockholm syndrome for an entire nation.

Hearted. You can say whatever you like - it's protected! - and I can say whatever I like about what you said - also protected! The First Amendment isn't a shield against people calling you a dick for saying something asinine. It's a shield against people putting me in jail for pointing out how asinine you are.

I suppose it's how you read the intent of the author. I thought the implication was that some among the privileged class make that assumption (and thus consider it slumming with the under classes), not that the author was making it. But if the author assumes IHOPs are filled with people of other races it would be…

Even as a non-religious person, this bothers me. I made a day trip to Vancouver with the intent to visit Christ Church Cathedral (it's beautiful), among a bunch of other things. So I looked at their website to see when it was open to the public. I was in there talking to the guy at the visitor desk (I'd started out…

Sure. Minorities can be racist. If you are of a minority, you can try to avoid doing things that are racist, too. But if you're of the majority, or interact with members of the majority, you should at least be aware of how racism is evolving within majority culture. So that everyone can call it out when they see it,…

That's the very first line of the article...

Since no one seems to have answered you, the doctor asked both Mr. Fearing and his sister if they would agree to having to organ donated to Gomez. She was more than willing - said something to the effect of, "I'm just glad it will go to someone and give them a second chance."

You put a lot of thought into that.

Oh, Reddit... you never cease to fail to amaze me. I like your constant stream of meme pics as much as the next guy, and sure IAmA is cool... but at your heart you're just a bunch of 20-something nerds looking for something to jerk off to.

Sublimating their income? Was that an autocorrect fail? Because it's awesome.

And sinister used to refer to the left side or left-handedness in Latin (dexter being right). Which I think is great. And hysteria comes from the Greek word for uterus. I'm sure there are a million more things with ridiculous origins. They're fun!
