Ugh. My fiancée wouldn't listen to me when I told him that and bought me a ring anyway because "we aren't officially engaged without a ring". It's a complete waste of money.

Not feasible with our current technology, especially from the moment of conception.

How would 2 men gestate a baby without the help of a female?

Skim is 0% fat. Most grocery stores have whole (3%), 2%, 1%, and skim (0%).

My favorite toy as a child was a Tonka farm set that my cousin (dad's side) got me for Christmas. Some of my dad's family made a fuss that it was a "boy's" toy, but my mother's side was REALLY upset that they got me a "boy's" toy. I think I brought it to my maternal grandmother's house for 2 years after that to play…

I was also blessed with a slender frame (also from my dad), but that doesn't mean I don't have body issues. It messed me up pretty bad that people would say that I'm so skinny and will never have a problem with weight. Then, I hit my mid-20s and filled out a little, making me a size 7 instead of a 0 and underweight.…

They're voracious insect eaters. All the farmers I knew who raised them did so for pest control. They're really stupid though.

I've been smoking marijuana since the age of 15 (26 now). I'm less of a burden on my family than my sister and stepmom (both alcoholics). I graduated high school valedictorian. I graduated college with a degree in Biochemistry in 4.5 years (the average), and I'm working towards my PhD in Biology doing cancer research.…

Not to even mention that he was salutatorian of his high school class and did well academically at Stanford while playing there.

I knew I met my future husband when he said he doesn't like Thin Mints either.

You could still start with low amounts (that you don't have an effect with) and work your way up, but I'm not sure how effective it is with adults. I had a severe, but not deadly allergy, to egg whites as a child. My parents would only let me eat miniscule bites of things with eggs in them and would gradually increase…

One of the things that pissed me off the most is that I mentioned my whole wheat allergy (actual documented skin test for it) to a co-worker, and she flipped out because I eat other grains. As a celiac herself, of course the only thing in wheat that I could possibly be allergic to is gluten despite the fact that I can…

I had to look back at that pic 3x because I couldn't figure out which of the covers had just Tyra.

I may be the only one, but when my brother-in-law (who already has 5 kids) goes on about how he (and not his wife, she's fine with 2 bio kids and 3 step kids) wants another kid, I do want to tell him to just adopt because there are enough people in the world already. However, I would never tell him, or anyone else, to…

True, but it's much easier to research mechanisms in mice (such as allergen-IgG1 complexes passing from the mother to the pups during breast feeding resulting in fewer allergies in the pups) and studies such as this showing similar effects in humans during pregnancy helps to lend a bit of credibility to the…

I'm inclined to believe it though because I've read previous studies in mice that suggest the same thing.

Yes, while I'm white, I have olive-toned skin and dark hair (look like my dad, who has Eastern European heritage) and my sister is pale with blond hair and blue eyes (looks like my mom who has German heritage). We constantly have people telling us that there's no way we are full biological sisters. And I also have a…

And the "hard" sciences, such as Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, are "male-typed" fields.

Here's quantitative data for you: http://scx.sagepub.com/content/35/5/6…

My current boyfriend once (jokingly) tried to tell me how much he "helps (me) out" by cleaning and doing the dishes. I told in him no short terms that 1) he pays rent at our house too so as an adult, house chores are just as much his responsibility as mine and 2) we work the same amount, and make the exact same amount…
