It's ethnic. The competition website says applicants need to have at least one parent who is of Arab heritage.

Furthermore, they are showing "ob/Gyns per 100,000 residents," but I can't find if that is per 100,000 women, or men and women combined. Seeing as men don't have Ob/Gyn appointments, including them in that figure would make the stats seem more dramatic.

The bachelorette party I recently went to had them, and while we were out of our hotel room for the day, the cleaning staff threw them away. When asked why she did it, the cleaning lady said "well they looked like garbage to me" and gave me some serious side eye.

The 49ers currently have a women's apparel store in Candlestick park, separate from the regular fan store (not a men's only apparel store). Why can't we just buy our jerseys and t-shirts at the normal store? This sort of thinking suggests female fans are "other" and, while acknowledging their existence, treats them as…

If you're a movie geek, you can check out the Retro Dome screenings in San Jose. They lost their regular venue earlier this year, but the still do sing-along and quote-along screenings in theaters around the South Bay.

Seeing as the Dow dropped 353 point today, there must of have been some seriously sexy trading going on. The greater the fall, the hotter the flirting?

Exactly. I have edited emails and presentations to fix grammar mistakes only to have someone else in the office think it doesn't "sound right" and change it back to it's incorrect state. Why hire a professional writer if you plan on ignoring all of his or her recommendations? I can almost guarantee that other experts…

I'm commenting only to say that Sweetie Pie's in St. Louis, of the show Welcome to Sweetie Pie's, is amazing and a you must go and eat their fantastic food.

Holy fuck what is wrong with people?! Do they think anonymity gives them complete protection and license to be a disgusting piece of filth? Glad you posted this; it is exactly the right response.

Honest question, do men get asked similar questions during doctor's appointments? I get some sexual activity questions from my general practitioner, but my gynecologist gives me a long questionnaire and more detailed questions. Nothing I object to, and I do support that as a way to reach women who may be abused. Since…

What is going on with this head? It looks like...nothing. Or am I looking at this wrong?

Does this mean strained yogurt made at home is also acidic? The linked article isn't explicit, and I've been dumping my whey down the drain for years :(

Cool! I had no idea. I make my own Greek yogurt by straining regular yogurt, and I've been dumping the whey down the sink and now I feel guilty :(

Oh this is bringing back bad memories of my middle school fashion choices. I had a bit of a belly and developed huge breasts early on and had no idea what to do with them. I wore a lot of tight t-shirts and ill-fitting bras with zero awareness of how I looked. Middle school sucks enough without adults calling young…

My cousin is disabled from a horrific foot injury, but won't start limping unless he's been walking for 5 or so minutes without rest. Hence the need for the parking spots. He also gets the unfair judgement and rage because he doesn't look disabled enough. It's ridiculous and creates a weird hierarchy of disability.…

TacoCock? NachoWeiner? TortillaSchlong?

I interned at a film magazine where the editor in chief had some serious anger issues. Someone sent him a joke email about how he would need to share his office with an intern, and he yelled for 20 minutes about how pathetic interns were, they should be lucky just to be there, he thought they all sucked anyways, woe…

I agree with you. She leaves him and ends up with a guy who is stable and inspires her to think of the future. I interpreted that to mean that her relationship with Tom fostered the worst aspects in both of them. He was oblivious to this, and her declining interest in the relationship, because he was blinded by the…

Ha! I never thought about that, but I think that's a valid reading of her character. The best part is that Michael is the butt of the joke (for falling for the MPDG myth and projecting it onto his life), not Rita.

My manager adjusts her tone from baby-talk to "normal" depending on your job title. She speaks to me and her other direct reports in baby talk, but that will disappear if she speaks to someone who ranks the same as her or above. Her management style is basically "mothering" and I cannot stand it. Nurture and…
