The LH story that said short workouts are a crock was woefully backed up. The source article was an opinion piece by some guy that used the worst logic I have ever seen in an exercise-related post.

Nice use of 'orthogonal'.

The book of Leviticus was written around 1400 years before Jesus was born. There's a shitload of stuff in the old testament we don't do anymore, like own slaves or give away our pre-pubescent daughters into marriage. Learn the book you hold so dear.

I never asked my wife to take my name - and she hasn't. However, I would say that your statement is a little overdramatic. If your last name constitutes "your identity", then you have a bigger problem than what your last name is. Also, if my wife asked me to change my last name for hers, I would consider it.

My tap is 140 and I like to think that kills germs. And who doesn't like a little scalding now and then?

Adam - I get the point of his post but how he disputes the effectiveness of short, intense workouts is bizarre. It's like he's expecting everyone to nod to his conclusions no matter what he says to back it up.

To be fair, the original article as this:
"Beats me, though I think you'll probably have stronger quads, if that turns you on."

This doesn't make sense. And gaining 12 pounds a year? Why is the athlete going to *eat the same number of calories*? Really, who thinks this is "looking at the numbers"

Hey, honestly curious how Anne Rice gets grouped in there. Seems like a stretch at first glance, but I'm guessing I missed some of her statements from interviews.

"and don't have a children yet"

The tricky thing about having kids is that, depending on how you and your partner work it out, your time isn't your own anymore. At least, it isn't as much as it was. So it'll be interesting to see if you can structure your day the exact same way post-kinder-introduction. Many kids get up at the same time you're going…

exactly. if you don't usually pull shit like this, then the odd flake-out shouldn't infuriate anybody. We all have to cancel because of various reasons. Just do your best to schedule around things you want to/have to attend and you won't need worry about it.

I guess I just assumed it was "F*cking Ulcer". Does the Gawker family allow expletives in the comments??? (that's an ellipsis with question marks...)

So WFROSE, given your background, I'd be curious what your opinion of the video above. In my experience (which doesn't seem as much as yours), those guys are about half the skill level I'd expect of most black belts. The contact was so light (and I'm pretty sure they were doing that on purpose), that if they train…

Yeah, but I'm not sure it has any origin before A.C. Doyle - if you have references/URLs, I'd love to read more.

Again, we need the data to know that 1-2 drinks constitutes any impairment whatsoever.

Because there are about 1000 different scenarios where you're moderately impaired.

Kind of odd no one mentioned Inkscape. I think it's closer in quality to Illustrator than Gimp is to PS.

Yeah, I can't believe lawyer is not in this list. There are certainly some fine lawyers out there but jesus, it doesn't take long to find articles about patent-trolling, frivolous lawsuits and general intimidation.

Do we need our drugs to be cool and subversive? Can't we just smoke/drink them and forget about it?
