Or because no Steubenville jury would convict football players.

Put them in the recovery position. Many people have died from aspirating vomit passed out on their backs.

Oddest things I ever saw come out of there when I worked in the ER were a Russet potato and a golf ball

The bum has a lot of nerve endings. The prostate can be stimulated from there. So can the base of the penis.

Human being or mutant insect that's lost two of it's legs?

Military and Homeland Security applications in 3... 2... 1...

That was what was available when I wrote the review article. Several of the studies referenced and confirmed the result of others. I haven't done active research in the field in some years, but according to others still connected to it there haven't been any strikingly different results in that time. A quick search in…

I"m just happy to see WMMA treated as professionally as men's MMA. I saw way too much really bad, exploitative women's boxing back in the day.
