Hey, don't group us in with these evo-pysch bastards.

I complained to a friend once that my phone kept autocorrecting "ad hominem" to "Eminem," and her reply was, "What the hell are you texting?!" What I'm saying is that I feel your pain.

These puns are too steep, and there's some dreadful ones brewing. Get out while you can and tell them I Sencha.

People come in so many different variations that it's simply not possible to test for all of them however - think of how much testing you'd have to do to cover off on the relatively basic parameters of age, weight and ethnicity. Furthermore, there have been a lot of issues around limited testing of drugs on women in…

Please understand, progestin and estrogen are potentially very dangerous hormones. Manufacturers have to balance efficacy of product against risk. At higher doses, the side effects of estrogen in particular can be life threatening: MI, DVT, PE, and stroke among them. To minimize this, estrogen doses are minimized.…

I highly doubt researchers "didn't think to test" women over 165. Drug trials require participants who A. are volunteers and B. fit the researcher's sampling requirements.

Can someone get me some sugar for my tea because it is BITTER here in these comments.

Thank you, I completely agree.

There is one thing conveniently ignored. Perspective.

I would think that boys would have more sisters at least partially because sons tend to be favored over daughters. So when a girl is born, parents keep having children until they have a boy. I thought that this was an antiquated mindset, until after I had two daughters and people continue to ask me "So, are you going…

Its less a misunderstanding of biology or mathematics, as a misunderstanding of perspective. The subject, in this case a boy or a girl with siblings, does not count in the total cohort of siblings, as one cannot be his or her own sibling.

Instead of railroads, you buy regulators.

Instead of replacing houses & hotels with billboards, they should have replaced them with junk bonds and credit default swaps.

Old Testament or Kirkland Signature edition?

Prophylactic operation failed.

In the first Great Depression, the rich were buying and selling real estate. Now they're buying and selling international companies. Seems like the new Monopoly is totally in keeping with the spirit of the original.

As far as I know, indigo W's are mostly confined to the Pacific Northwest.
