Science makes us all it's bitches, including our health and beauty!

Toluene is not able to pass through the skin readily on it's own and to the best I remember there is nothing in Seche Vite or other polish that would easily allow toluene to pass through the skin, it's mostly a danger through inhalation or consumption - when working in a well ventilated area with the quantities…

Do them at home! It's how I stopped biting... a good base coat + color and a fast drying top coat work wonders and there are plenty of excellent blogs with tips and tricks on painting your own nails.

Shocking! UV leads to increased risk of cancer, who would of thought?! I have to wear personal protective equipment when using UV lamps in lab and my total exposure is much shorter than that for a gel manicure and probably less frequent than many people who get these manicures regularly. I have to work quickly since I…

Man, you really must think you're so smart right now. I hope it feels good to (mistakenly) believe you've bested someone on the internet.

There are very few clinical trials that are federally sponsored, it doesn't mean that it's any less significant or scientifically sound than studies ran by the federal government. Most studies ran by the federal government generally fall under categories of things that aren't necessarily of huge interest to the…

She was participating in a clinical trial... who knows if this is part of her snake oil business or not - or why she enrolled herself. She didn't just run out and find a doctor to do an unapproved procedure... it doesn't really work that way. Like another commenter pointed out - this procedure is in usage elsewhere,…

I never really understood the full beauty of Rothko's paintings until I took an art history class. Understanding artistic techniques really makes Jasper John's works much more impressive... I don't see why something that not everyone will get is excluded from art and thrown into the realm of self-indulgence. Who says…

Buying one is pretty mortifying if you don't want a child... I remember purchasing a test when I was about three weeks late (my period is irregular) - I was totally freaked out - and the woman at the checkout congratulated me. Last thing I wanted was someone telling me "Good luck with the test, hope it's positive!"…

Totally agreed, I've known several wonderful people who have worked for groupon. One douche doesn't make Groupon homophobic.

breed-ism!

Seriously, how many women can look elegant in apparently absolutely anything? She's so serene when she speaks too, just too adorable all around.

Amber Rose is just unreasonably attractive in general. I've loved her to pieces ever since she was on Drag Race.

Yes, because knees obviously look like that in real life!

Appointed judges aren't necessarily much better... they OFTEN are... but not necessarily. But, yeah, federal judges (like this dude) are appointees - not elected. He was appointed by GWB.

Apparently, in some states, girls under 18 can get married without parental consent IF they're pregnant. Yeah.

no, the link to the image... on the google images tab you'll see a tiny camera in the text box, click that then insert the link to the picture

you can google image search the photo from the link and see if it comes up with any hits... if the photo was available somewhere publicly, you'll probably get a hit... if they lifted it off of a random friends FB probably not

Totally true, I've worked with a "no-kill" facility and they did advocate putting down animals that were otherwise untreatable - AKA the same conditions an owner would put down a beloved pet. No kill just means we don't put down an animal because they aren't adopted within an arbitrary time period or other arbitrary…

I remember in my bio course back in 2000 coming into the classroom after school and hearing my teacher have a rather heated argument with an irate parent over the phone about creationism... my school let people take "alternative coursework" if the parent expressed issues with it (not like we had to get permission…
