Same here! I was like, 4 when I learned to read fluently so I kinda just always knew. We never had the talk. Though it probably would have been good to get a little more information about the reasons people have sex beyond baby-making, because I remember having a huge argument with my best friend when we were 14…

In Australia we say 'undies' :D

'SORRY ASSLIFE'

I'm saving this gif and keeping it for ever and ever

She.

Seriously? I was expecting, like, spiders to crawl out of his face or something.

I feel like we had this unspoken agreement in our family where my sister and I knew that Santa and the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny weren't real, and our parents knew we knew, but we all played along with it anyway.

Some idiot from an anti-islam group was removed from the scene for going off on a rant about Muslims. The group's facebook page also had a post urging 'Australians' to 'converge' on Lakemba (basically trying to provoke a race riot) though I think the post has been removed now.

It's called Plague Inc. and it is WAY fun.

haha, yes! I've recently discovered pouring powdered onion soup mix over my popcorn but.. I'm weird with food. I think I got the idea from when I went to Norway last year and the movie popcorn had like five kinds of powder seasoning you could dump on top. So good.

Fun fact: Vasectomies were considered illegal and immoral in Australia until 1970 when my grandfather (a doctor and humanist) persuaded the Humanist Societies of each of the 6 Australian States to sponsor lists of doctors who were willing to perform the procedure.

I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.

Has anyone been watching The Mindy Project (starring Mindy Kaling from The Office)? I really like how in the show, her dress size is a total non-issue, as is her race. Pretty rare that you see non-caucasian, let alone 'curvier' women in the lead role in anything.
