But you're not going to have significant increases in cognitive function between 16 and 25 most improvement in that time span is going to come from experience, socialization and study.

I'm not a fan of philias in general.

Huh. They didn't cancel The Nu-X-Filez??

I don't think it's going to make a vas deferens to the album either way.

So, if you answer "no" then would you also get criticized for hating teenage girls? What did they do wrong?

It still is right there… in your pants!

Surely you mean "sweaty hog"?

Then it's DC's problem, not mine.

Republicanism is a flat circle.

Wait, I thought Sandra Bullock had taken the "America's Sweetheart" crown from Roberts?
