I am staying in and studying reaction mechanisms for my organic chemistry test tomorrow (yes, as in Sunday). We can suffer together.

I have a student who sincerely believed the illuminati run the world and Katy Perry is a satanist. I have the hardest time taking her seriously. What’s your secret?

I fail to see how an invasive, medically useless procedure gives “benefit and love.” Setting aside her father’s fixation on his daughter’s “purity”, if this girl’s father truly loved her, this girl’s word should be enough.

It’s not a medical “thing” though. You can have an intact hymen and have had intercourse. You can have a non intact hymen and have never had sexual intercourse. Most competent, ethical doctors refuse to “certify” if someone is a virgin because it is impossible to determine medically.

Some kids in Utah had a bake sale where they charged girls .77 for cookies and boys 1.00. I know it will shock you, but the boys flipped out over the injustice.

My mom is a medical examiner, and, as a consequence, knows a thing or two about illegal drugs. In college, when she would ask me what I did for the weekend, I thought I’d be a smart ass and reply with “Heroin.” Her reply was “You can’t afford heroin. What did you actually do?”

I took an organic chemistry test Sunday, so I destroyed my psyche if nothing else.

I agree. Miscarriages and stillborn babies are difficult to deal with in privacy. Her painful experience is now the fodder of anti-choice jackasses. I don’t understand how someone would feel comfortable exploiting someone like this.

I believe I attended the same study abroad program as Wallace! I am both pleased and more than a little amazed that it’s still in operation. I am also more than a little amazed that a vegetarian could survive on Paros. As I recall, the only vegetarian fare offered most places was Greek salad.

“does Nick Jonas, as a member of the Disney family, get free tickets to Disney World?”

Same. I need fall to start. Like yesterday. It’s 95 out right now and humid and I want to DIE. Bring on cool temperatures, beautiful changing leaves, and superior holidays.

Definitely watch it during the day. Learn from the error of my ways.

The people who didnt want her to have the baby include her doctors and mother, people with the little girl’s actual best interest in mind. The little girl was/is too young to actually consent one way or another as she is neither mentally nor emotionally mature enough. It’s not a political point to acknowledge that a…

Unlike the antichoice movement, there is actually a lot of compelling scientific research that indicates that keeping these animals in captivity is cruel and abusive. I find it amusing that you accuse others of buying into propaganda when it appears that you have bought Sea World’s argument hook, line and sinker. All…

My mother is a forensic pathologist. She gets tons of request from curious people wanting to observe an autopsy (I guess because CSI makes everyone think it’s super interesting). Her response is invariably “No.” My mom does not perform an autopsy for the hell of it; she performs them in the interest of public health…

A woman I work with doesn’t believe any of it and thinks it’s a set up. She can’t understand why I think that’s completely insane nor does she believe any of the of the subsequent evidence that has come out. As best I can understand her argument, he played a nice man on TV, therefore he can’t be a rapist. Barf.

Some animals are obligate carnivores, meaning that at least 70% needs to be protein from animals. Cats are the classic example, but there are many others. Anyone trying to feed a cat an all vegan diet is literally killing their animal.

There’s evidence that bowhead whales can live between 150 - 200 years. Seriously. We’ve found bowhead whales with harpoons embedded in their sides from the late—I shit you not—18th century.

I am not an animal rights activist. I do, however, have a background in biology (specifically animal behavior). Sea World has no credibility on the issue of whale captivity and every reason to downplay if not out right lie about its effects.
