I know the age difference shouldn't matter, especially as it's none of my fucking business regarding any relationship. But is it not a little weird that this guy is one year older than her son?

To be fair, I'm an atheist and I would hate to get a Richard Dawkins book for Christmas every year.

Ok, this is a story that I don't tell very often, but here goes. My whole family, with a few exceptions is in the medical field. So several years back fresh faced Rutherford is getting ready for college. Thinking I want to follow in the footsteps of Doctor Grandad and be a surgeon, he pulls some strings and I get to…

Well, that's part of it, certainly. But, taken alone, it verges a little bit on the kind of thinking that makes people believe that racism can be solved by people being color-blind (hint: it doesn't work).

I think they're really cute to look at, but I'm always worried they're going to bite me.

When I was 9 or so I wrote my parents a hand-written note and put it under their bedroom door telling them I needed my sleep for school, and they needed to be more quiet.

My dad's snoring was so bad that my mom spent all night pushing him to roll over and neither of them got any sleep.

Second, the reason for male circumcision is either hygenic or as a religious marker of one's dedication to God, not in order to impair your sexual…

FGM Type II, the most common kind, is more equivalent to cutting the entire head of the penis off than simply the foreskin. Types III and IV are more invasive than that. So, stop with the false equivalencies.

Um, okay. I understand that this is a stupid marketing campaign, that Dove's "Real [insert whatever here]" thing is a terrible ploy to sell their products.

I am a man and this sounds like a really great idea, I really like the kind of car shops that offer some kind of entertainment while you wait an hour or two for you car to be ready, most of the time it's a TV and coffee machine, but sometimes there even are darts and stuff like that.

I'd be on board with an auto mechanic that lets me do anything while I'm waiting around other than smell a heady mix of motor oil and body odor and leaf through back copies of Bass Fishing Monthly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Ms. FRIZZLE?
