Study shows the more you pledge abstinence, the more nookie you're going to get

Well, not really. But check out the success of abstinence only sex education, kids!

Thanks to scarcrest for the link.

Work today was busy in a cerebral way. But I came out the better for it. I hit the gym, making it three times this week. Rejoice.

I caught that Terri Shiavo had her feeding tube removed today. It's a shame they just can't put her out quickly so she doesn't physically suffer. Then again, if she's a vegetable, she shouldn't really care. In theory.

However, I think it's pretty horrible that she's been forced to keep her alive all this time. There's something here that doesn't make sense. First of all, it seems that a number of court appeals have gone down that keep siding with her husband. Second, if her husband really didn't care about her, he would just give her up to her parents so they can care for her and "live the dream" of waiting for a severely brain damaged woman to "bounce back" after 15 years of...not bouncing back.

All these religious people are coming to her aid in prayer. I thought heaven was a wonderful place. Instead of letting her go there, they would much rather her live out "God's plan" by sitting in her own filth, which must regularly be cleansed by others, and lay there with a feeding tube in her. Yeah. That's good living. She has no free will, except for blinking. Yeah. She can get her blink on. I'm fairly sure that the Operation Rescue folks coming to her aid are either sadists or equally as brain dead as she is.

Sex education, Part II

As a sequel to my post on the "technical abstinence" post earlier, I present to you, "Technical Virgin".

Be sure to check out their commercials, "I have a future" and "Boys can wait".

Goofing off

I am glad I found out I have a program that nicely captures screenshots of dvds I watch on computer. Now, on a whim, I can capture shots I think are fun, like Elastigirl looking stoned:



or Syndrome tossing Mr. Incredible.
