When they offered the position to her boyfriend, did they also want him to sign the 'no-sex' contract? Because they must have known that he'd immediately break it.

This is actually the perfect time of day to start drinking.

So the revelation took place in front of a freaking crowd.

Europeans used to believe fairies (including the tooth fairy) were real. Other people had weird teeth traditions too.

I think they want to start treatment as soon as possible for infected infants, and waiting for lab confirmation might have taken too long. It's lucky they did, though - waiting would have allowed the virus to entrench itself and we'd have another HIV+ baby.

Thank you for that link! It makes more sense now. I'm glad he wasn't trying to be offensive, but I hope he's angry about being used like that. Newsweek's tarnished his reputation with their actions, and their weak apology doesn't help.

Maybe the Secret Service buried it in the net.

If you can afford it, I don't see why you shouldn't buy a house or make some other investment (after due research). Money doesn't help the economy if it's hidden in the Caymans/Switzerland/your mattress.

I'm surprised that the magazine cover I'd expect to reflect Americans better would have 3/4 minorities. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Better representation of minorities? Is this progress?

They were all shorter back then, but I think Marilyn was 5'5" or 5'6", so she was pretty much average by today's standards.

Marilyn Monroe was pretty thin. Also, I hate it when people call women 'females'.

Marilyn wasn't a size 14 by today's standards, more 0-4.

I should have mentioned that I'd also been reading other things as breasts today. Telepathic breasts would have been fantastic, but I guess brain zappers are okay too.

Yeah, I was both confused and super EXCITED about breast implants giving me telepathic powers. I'd have used one to balance out my breasts, and given the other to my partner so we can be forever connected in the most intimate of ways.

I'm normally not a basketball fan (my guy watches it, though), but even I screamed a little at that one.

Oh, lord. I read that as Breast Implants. WTF is wrong with me today.

I'm going to try that, thank you!. More Tylenol for back pain will probably give me ulcers.

I thought she was joking, but it worked miracles on my shyness.

I thought she was joking at first, but decided to give it a try, and lo! the weird shy kid's now the life of the party. Computers are ruining my posture, though.

After turning off multiple alarms, I check email, then the news for an hour. By the time I finish, the sun may have risen, and I go out to shovel snow so I can get my car out of the garage.
