I don't think they meant pupil dilation specifically, but rather sexual response as a whole. It's worded rather poorly, and easy to mix up on a quick read.

Wieber actually only qualified for finals on one apparatus: floor. And yes, I agree with you. This sucks. It's shitty that she didn't qualify for AA because of this rule. But she's not the first victim of this rule, nor will she be the last, and it's not the end of her career either. And no, we probably wouldn't be…

I would guess that both have a good shot at the podium, as well as shots at the gold. Raisman is solid, but her bars aren't always that good, and Douglas can wobble a little bit (though she's been really very good this past year). Komova (Russia) had the highest all around score at the end of the day, and she's been…

Probably tape-delayed footage will be shown at primetime. Qualifications just finished. USA competed in the third subdivision of qualifications, which was at 8:30am CST.

That's exactly how I interpreted it, and it seemed very clear in the episode that this was the intent.

I just started crying at that point too. Sloppy work tears!

I have this fear too! But then I also have a weird fear that I hook up with a guy and then somehow he gets ahold of my discharge-y underwear and is all, "WTF?" Always so many ridiculous concerns!

Oh, man. When I was young, I thought pantyliners were so cute. At first I had really light periods, so I loved being able to buy them. I had no idea they could also be used for vaginal discharge. Of course, no one ever taught me what it was, either. I think I learned it from a magazine. For the longest time I was…

"Have you seen the Beijing opening ceremonies? We don't have that kind of control over our people."

The modern cakewalk stems from the original cakewalk itself. Here's a brief history on the cakewalk, and why it could be considered a racially charged term.

Yay, thanks for the support from this IBTC member! I have tiny, tiny, somewhere between AA and A boobs. I don't wear a bra because they need support, but to keep my nipples under control (and sometimes to convince people that I am not prepubescent). I have, apparently, hyper-sensitive nipples. Those things are popping…

I get into this debate often with my mother. I tell her I don't plan on having children, because I just don't really like kids (I mean, I like them, but not enough to live with them). She counters, condescendingly, "Well, it's different when they're your kids."

Sometimes our entire towns smell like shit! Especially in the spring when the farmers are fertilizing their crops. Mmmmmm, poop. :)

Baby pandas on a slide? Conservation efforts totally worth it.

Well, it's better than Gotbra.

A roommate in college taught me this. It saved my life! I am still confused by Kinja too. Once I was part of a discussion with lots of replies and branching and intelligent comments (more than any of the other discussions)—and yet it was last in that horizontal scroll thingy. I give up on trying to understand how it…

I have a cure for pant zippers that won't stay up!

That is one clever idea. I like it. It's dark and creepy, and thinking back to earlier episodes of the show, they haven't shied too far away from that in the past. And it would explain why, so far, only people who had NPC constructs in the matrix are being targeted (not counting Holly, but that's really more like some…

Hahaha. If a man doesn't make one of those speeches, there is no chance whatsoever he's getting the object of his affections. I know that's #2 on my list of desired qualities in a man—Sorkinesque speechifying! (I kid...mostly).

And let's not forget the most recent plot point, where yet another staff member had some sort of personal connection with a source that resulted in something huge (albeit in a negative way) for the show. It's just...cheating. He gets to cheat. He knows the end of the story already and he gets to make this news show be…
