Never underestimate the desperate insecurity of a college freshman.

My thoughts exactly

Comparing JAMA to Nature is like comparing the NBA to the IOC.

Link doesn't work, at least on my computer. I agree, self-reported data are terribly prone to bias, and these results can't be generalized to all populations. But hey, easy on JAMA there! More important is probably the conflict of interest of the authors.

Also, he's not board certified any more. Only from 1995-2005. Not that it's relevant, as long as he doesn't try to operate on your eyeballs.

Mad-DOW! Boom.

Never said, or implied, that. Just sayin' if he's going for a certain effect, and hopes to have that effect understood/processed by lots of people, he's doing it wrong. But, if not, and he just wants to leave these images out there for the whims of society to digest...fine by me. Whether it's a disservice or not is…

Nice. I hadn't heard of that site, but it certainly proves your point. I'd like to think those swaths are narrower in proportion to the attention they get, though....(I'd like to think....)

Colbert's intended audience excludes those stupid enough to miss the entire point of his show, I do believe.

True. But the best satirists (Colbert, etc) know their audience, and ensure that it's interpreted correctly.

He's halfway there. It's great to recognize these role models for who they were. But it's a disservice to "princessify" them and present them to the Facebook masses without clarifying the satire for the lowest common denominator who will likely "Share" the images a billion times.

How many of the freshmen girls are wondering "Jesus Christ, is it too late to transfer to Cal?"

Although having two doctors deliver a baby via Cesarean is the norm (at 95% of hospitals, probably) and no cause for alarm.... That is one fucking big baby.

It's testosterone

I would suspect less luck, and more primary infertility issues. Ask your OB/GYN.

I think you meant to reply to suasartes

Planning to marry?

Smugperior

Why do they both look so goddamned smug and superior?

Although making predictions like that can be nebula.
