don't worry. proper puns only work if you use homophones. using butt would have made no sense.

I don't want to be rude, but the reason "that the UK hasn't gotten its act together regarding proton therapy" is that in the US health care is a business and huge amounts of money are changing hands. A proton beam set up there is an investment and the huge amounts of money that they will charge insurance companies to…

also, the reason they won't even consider it in this case is because there is only one treatment centre in the UK and that particular machine can only penetrate 3 cm into the body so it will only work on tumors in very accessible places. Hence then only using it on eyes.

The reason they were arrested and that there was an international man hunt was that the child had a battery operated feeding device and the doctors in charge of his care were worried that the battery would run out and he would STARVE TO DEATH.

Although: "Black women have more invasive cervical cancer, and they die from it more often," Clark says. "and those types are still caused by 16 and 18." So actually the current vaccines are relevant to black women, but additional shots might be necessary if there is an additive effect or synergy with other strains,…

Thanks! I'm sure I won't be the only one who finds the information you provided useful. I wish they wouldn't make statements like that without any context as if you read it you might think "oh I'm xxxx ethic group, so is it worth the time and money to get vaccinated if it won't work anyway?".

Yes, I'm interested to know what they mean by that. "Meanwhile, the rest of us will wait for a vaccine that contains HPV strains other than the handful that most commonly affect white women." because at the risk of sounding rude, Jezebel writers' understanding and subsequent reporting of medical issues is not…

Isha, I am curious about these HPV strains, could you you go in to more detail or include information/links. Is this a case of choosing the most cancer-associated HPV strains that globally are more prevalent in the "white" population, or is it that white american women have a different strain to women of color in the…

It's probably to do with students insisting on bringing packs of hunting dogs with them in years gone by. It takes years to come to any decisions about changing college statutes because the governing body of each college is made up of fellows. A lot of the fellows are very old (like 90 years old) and don't like change…

you are stupid.

flip is uk substitute for fuck when we don't want to be vulgar. it's like when you say 'darn' instead of damn.

Bloody hell. asympotamtic hpv is ENDEMIC. I just don't understand how it's stigmatized in the us. It's why we all have smear tests!

i got a date with a guy who not only lied about his height by a foot, but had raided somebody else's Facebook to use a profile pics. Er, did you think i wouldn't notice you are a totally different person?

After 3 previous c-sections, yes she IS too stupid to be trusted if she thinks it's reasonable to insist on a vbac.

If you don't have a sterling key, try pressing Alt and 3 it works on many computers: £

So basically some one comes to you and says "kaffir limes are from Sri Lanka and are named after the Kaffir people who farm and cook with them, and have nothing to to do with South Africa at all" and you completely ignore that. It's a HOMOPHONE.
