My Dad brought home a Radio Shack computer back in the early 1980's. We were the first people on our block to have a computer. I really wanted a Atari game system like my cousin had but learned to have fun with the computer and played the goofy games that were made for it.

The biggest flying beings ever must have been quite a sight.

I get so much shit for this every time I admit it, but I wash my hands with soap mayyyybe once every two weeks. I'm vegetarian, so raw meat isn't a concern, and I've officially mastered the art of going to the bathroom without pooping on myself, so that's also not a concern. I use soap when I do come into contact with

Exactly. That and something about your soul ascending to the skies in the form of raptors is kinda poetic as well.

"Three Septembers and a January" is, to this day, my favourite Sandman story. I don't know why, but it just feels so spectacularly kind. Desire, Despair and even Delirium reckon none of them have a hold on him - Norton's living in a dreamworld, and a community effort has made it real. Death's final word on the subject

Long, long ago, I went to visit my parents house after battling a two-week case of the Yeasty Beasties. My mom had been baking bread, and upon opening the door, I was hit with a wave of yeasty tang up my nose. "Doesn't it smell wonderful in here?" she asked, smiling. I replied "BLEAH" and clapped my hands over my

IF THIS LADIES VAGINA YOGURT (vogurt?) LEADS TO MORE FLORA SCIENCE AND IT BEGETS A CURE FOR MY FUCKING CHRONIC BV I WILL PERSONALLY TAKE HER ON A WEEKLONG VACATION TO MAUI.

I would totally eat her vaginal yogurt (no euphemism intended*)**. The fact is, there are a number of foodstuffs that rely heavily on bacteria that are the same as those on (or in) our bodies for flavor, e.g. various types of blue cheese. It's no big deal so long as she isn't accidentally disproportionately

OK. I really, honestly, don't see anything disgusting about this. That could be because I'm a microbiologist, I guess. We have lactobacilli -which are involved in producing yogurt and cheese- in our vaginas. She just took these used them to culture yogurt. However, she took everything else, too, which made it taste

First off eeewww

This sounds like a deeply stigmatizing, stereotype-based depiction of a serious mental illness. This seems really awful.

The Voices does make some salient points about the treatment of mental illness;

Exactly. Discipline should teach kids about natural consequences - kid can't get his homework done, he loses TV privileges until he gets his priorities straight. Teenager keeps missing curfew, she can't go out until she proves she's trustworthy. Toddler throwing toys gets them taken away from him. Kids should learn

As a straight male secure in his manliness. I like to randomly set my status as engaged and get facebook engaged my fellow straight men. Just the ones who are completely homophobic. The comments I get from them, and their families are great.

Right. I'll be that person too, with the GATTACA. Honestly, guys, you desperately need a competent science writer/editor on staff. You get this stuff wrong all the time. Not a little wrong, but all the way, wearing-a-tube-top-on-your-head wrong.

"Designer babies"?

I'm sorry, but fuck this. I share the dislike for the kind of attitude that certain men have about tacky jewelry being a good way to attract chicks, for sure (and I'm also sympathetic to some of the aesthetic objections). But it's incredibly bad, on a more basic level, to promote these kind of limiting and repressing

I have several e-mail accounts, none of which has the name I'm using here. I joined the site; it's very slow, and takes for. ever. to load. The owner/operator doesn't know the software he's using very well, and there are 172 active members...

This was pretty clearly covered in her "Marry The Night" video a few years ago.
