Ahhh the old "second guessing your right answer" - a classic multi-choice mistake. I was raised Catholic, have a lot of Jewish friends, and lived in a Muslim majority country for a while so I have a pretty good general knowledge of a few different religions. I'd never even heard of the First Great Awakening, though...…

The sabbath starts at sunset on Friday and finishes at sunset on Saturday. Abraham was the one told to kill his son, Job was the subject of basically a petty bet between Lucifer and God that no matter what God did to him, Job would still be faithful.

14/15, Atheist. Had no idea which guy took part in the First Great Awakening.

It gets to 30 in some areas - I lived in Napier for a couple years and it regularly got to the low 30s - but it's not common for most of the country. I live in Toronto and while this summer hasn't been as hot as usual it's still warmer than anywhere on the South Island. A lake is a poor substitute for an ocean but I…

I have gone through Smith Falls on the train. I think I would turn to a life of crime, too.

I'm from Christchurch (haven't lived there for five years) which I think is responsible for the fact that I will swim in the ocean at just about any temperature if the sun is shining. Oh is it "only" 20 degrees? Fuck it, that's summer - let's go!

A rather silly looking traditional English folk dance involving bells and hankies:

Yeah, that's true... and I guess they maybe weren't as aware that HPV was often asymptomatic and could have longterm health consequences. It still makes me laugh that she saw AIDS and accidental pregnancies as the only possible negative consequences of casual sex.

My mum: "I was in my 20s in the golden era between the invention of the birth control pill and the advent of AIDS so you need to be more careful than I was."

Me, 10 years later upon realization of the weirdness of that statement: "Um, you know there are OTHER sexually transmitted infections, right? And those existed in…

That's okay - I learned something new today! I had to look up the difference so now I am smarter... or at least more knowledgeable.

Love this - it's such an easy mistake! I recently saw a waiter carry a chalkboard out that said "Welcome Ontario Morse Dancers" and said to my boyfriend "He must mean Morris, right?" And yes, on our walk home we passed many white-clad people wearing bells and carrying hankies. Homonyms are hard.

Is it worth buying a new frame? I know it's expensive, so not always an option but if you're likely to keep it for many years then the several hundred dollars might be worth it. Otherwise I know they sell lifts that go under each leg, but I don't have any personal experience in how sturdy they are.

Sorry if this is total TMI, you can leave me in the greys or dismiss and I will definitely understand! Firstly, I'm trying to find a nice way of asking if you are the "penetrated" as opposed to the "penetrator" but I'm just going to go with those phrases and make everyone uncomfortable. If you are the penetrated then…

Yeah... Mr Penguin and I have figured most of this out through trial and error (he slipped on black ice and landed flat on a metal loading dock about five years ago) but it's good to have science to help back us up... so to speak.

I work with a guy who will not shut up about protein and workouts and cardio versus weightlifting and carb loading or whatever. It's the worst and I cannot imagine going home to that. It's a constant battle not to smack this guy and I don't even work directly with him.

Claim to fame for the day: My boyfriend is good friends with Andrew and when Andrew was in New Zealand he stayed with my mum!

I posted this song to Facebook when I bought my bike and I was sad how few likes it got.

It's mostly a neutral effect as far as I'm aware. There's no significant difference in current research, but there are competing theories about why it might. Cancer comes from "mistakes" at the cell level, and these mistakes are increased by cell division so if your breast size fluctuates a lot on the pill it MIGHT…

That's how I use mine!

If you're never going to have children, going on the pill for two years reduces your risk of ovarian cancer by more than 10%. Those nuns might want to do some research and consider funding their own birth control pills.
