Rise of the Emaciated

"And the desire to downsize appeals to heterosexual and gay men alike. A recent article in a journal published by the American Psychological Association compared what 253 Australian men of both sexual orientations consider the ideal body and found that being both thin and muscular is the ultimate. (Gay men prefer a slightly thinner and more muscular physique.)"

Hmm...Michael, your thoughts? Too many gainers and bears out there from what I have seen. And heel yes, the world is coming around to my type of guy. Now if everyone would just start growing out their hair.....

I hate CNN

Headline: "Marijuana may increase psychosis risk". Article: "Researchers said they couldn't prove that marijuana use itself increases the risk of psychosis"


Great reporting CNN. Unbiased, scientific, and totally not contradicting in every way possible. And we wonder why everyone has no clue what the hell is going on, as journalism has become just another tool of the political right. I mean, goodgoddamn how is this even something published if it doesn't even follow the same point throughout?

Have fun with that...

The Cost of Raising a Child Over 17 Years ~ $170,460

"In this example, the numbers are based on a survey by the U.S. Department of Agriculture along with data from the U.S. Department of Labor4. They are numbers for a dual-parent family with medium household before-tax income of $39,100 to $65,800.

The cost of raising a child over 17 years:
Housing: $57,360
Food: $29,550
Transportation: $24,510
Clothing: $10,470
Health: $12,180
Child care/Education: $17,430
Miscellaneous (the occasional iPhone and pet): $12,720
Total cost: $170,460

Here’s a kicker. These numbers are updated with 2001 numbers using the Consumer Price Index. So yes, raising a child these days will most likely cost you more money."

And this would be why I do not even have living plants in my house. Yes I have a car, but that is a necessary evil living in this bloody metroplex.

Tax the Rich

A Middle Eastern businessman spent over $210,000 in a five-hour, champagne- and vodka-fuelled spending spree in a London nightclub at the weekend.


Even on the most extravagant party I could not imagine this amount of money spent. He better have started supplying the whole lounge or they should have included the hopsital costs from pumping their stomachs due to the alcohol poisoning.

Yes...

Get over it



Silly technician, don't you know things like this are what get you fired?
