Starting to sound an awful lot like fetish gear. (Which means, it probably already exists. :P )

Eeeeh....

Why are you quoting this movie the day after I finally see it?

Oh no, I wasn't doubting you when you said that this was his statement.

I'm pretty fucking sure that's bullshit.

I thought so too!

Ew, thanks for sharing that. Sounds like someone that would get along with my mother's new "friend".

My mother recently got involved with an idiot like this.

Wasn't there a study somewhere that basically showed that castration wasn't an effective "preventative treatment" because there was basically very little difference between the castrated rapists and the non-castrated rapists in terms of violent acts committed?

Will do!

I had a co-worker who whined to me about how he was walking behind a woman he didn't know after dark - it was totally coincidental, they were just walking in the same direction and made the same turns. Anyways, he got offended because after a certain amount of time, the woman suddenly sprinted across the street to the…

See, I can exercise for hours without getting thirsty, so I think I'm just broken in that regard (people used to call me a witch during 3-hour long sessions because I was the only one who wasn't dying for a water break).

I can't drink water. I don't know what it is exactly, but the lack of flavour just WEIRDS me the fuck out, especially if it's cold water.

There is a certain (small) percentage of people who have a non-functioning receptor on their T-cells cells (not CD14, an accessory one, forget what its called now) that the HIV particle also needs to attach itself to a cell before inserting the viral DNA.

Yeah, really.

You know what, I would be willing to bet that women who find the more stereotypical masculine characteristics attractive will, ON AVERAGE, hold more conservative beliefs than women who find the more androgynous/effeminate/slighter men attractive.

I'm [mostly] straight, but I noticed the same trend in my own tastes in men over the years. When I was younger, I HATED body hair and broad chests/wide shoulders and muscles. It was go go go androgynous man for me - the curvier and slighter, the better. As I got older, I started liking men who were more obviously…

Eh, I probably can buy that she didn't know about BR's existence (or at least, forgotten that she's ever heard of it). The plot has been reused a number of times (modern gladiatorial games and Spartacus (the historical person, not the TV show)), and I've certainly coincidentally come up with plot lines that ended up…
