I feel like there should be some Venn diagram with circles for "athletic task" and "game of skill." The first covers the physical activity part of your definition, the second covers the clear and defined rules part of it. Where they join, sport.

(Stupid non-embedding. It's a clip from Spongebob, "Not-Normal.")

Yep, absolutely nothing that would dissuade women from reporting. Who in their right mind wouldn't report a crime??

Something is wrong with the equation, and I think his numbers are off some as well. US News has a figure of just over 43k undergrads enrolled at Ohio State, 47% of those women. So about 20,000 vs his 28,000, unless he was also counting grad students. If one-in-five of those women are sexually assaulted in the four…

Nah - I think all the characters are well-written (certainly well enough for an animated spy spoof). But it does check the boxes for crude humor, explosions, and boobs.

Fart Jokes, Explosions, and Boobz.

decor-related snafus are at hand.

I married well before the rise of internet dating, but I was thinking about how I would even deal with it (what with all the articles about it), and decided that I would probably spend months on the site w/o ever contacting anybody. :|

Touché. I suppose I'm just wondering why I should be particularly impressed (or what I'm missing), which apparently various media thinks I should. My posting is as much of a Why, Media? as I can get.

That I can see, but she is constantly popping up on the various world news programs in the US. I guess I'm too cynical, but every time I see it I wonder why should I care?

I don't get why it's that huge a deal either. She's...an able-bodied 25yo in a singing competition. This is somehow more noteworthy because she wears glasses, a habit, and some really sensible shoes?

I think two dimensions is too simple, though.

Beat me to it*. If you want to absolutely mortify your audience, this hands down.

Agreed - I've never gotten the whole "iron death grip" thing. If you're doing it dry, you want as light a grip as possible. Like lightly running your hand over your forearm light. I know, TMI, but eventually you will get lube in the form of preseminal fluid (after which yes, you can tighten up a bit).

Yikes - good thing there were no mishaps there. Ladders and older people can lead to disastrous injuries (though I guess ladders and younger people aren't the safest either).

It doesn't crack the top ten, but I need to put in a good word for I Hate My Bath, which is missing from the list.

Renovation Realities is fantastic. You are almost guaranteed a major screwup or injury ("I don't think this wire is live...") every episode.

This was made even more evident when they rolled out Love It or List It Too, which follows the exact same formula. Though I will admit, the original pulls it off much better (but it's still completely formulaic).

The weird little tail-whip motion that sperm use to get to their Holy Grail has been co-opted by scientists for use in miniature robots.

I had an ok but not great experience. Where I went, most students were more concerned with getting into med school or law school or grad school. There wasn't much wild partying (not that I was much of a partier either) or hooking up. There wasn't a whole lot to do period, especially if you had no car (parking was at a…
