    I love how people thought that it was actually them, and not the guys behind Youtube.

    I liked that article! It suggested that the efforts of a cohesive whole of people far outweighed the actions of various individuals.

    It sounds vaguely RED if you ask me.

    But hey, if I finally get the recognition I deserve, I'm all for it.

    "Metropolis of MySpace"

    If this is what passes for Metropoli these days, then all the nuclear bombs from all the insane states in the world would be inert as devices to end the world of men. Civilization had been destroyed long ago.

    Parasite makes men dumb, women sexy.

    Everyone Loves Raymond suddenly makes sense.

    originally said by that article or something
    Another study showed people who were infected but not showing symptoms were 2.7 times more likely than uninfected people to be involved in a car accident as a driver or pedestrian...
    Is it common for this parasite to be tested for in autopsies? Otherwise, it seems like this sample group consisted of, like, three people.

    In short, it can make men behave like alley cats and women behave like sex kittens

    That's my new signature!

    What a great discovery...I'm glad scientists aren't spending time researching more important things!

    I consider a disease that can kill off my brain to be a rather serious issue.

    accidentally ingest some of the parasite's eggs excreted by an infected cat.
    Okay, so my dog might get it, but how does a person manage that?
  • edited December 2006
    There are a lot of weird people out there.
  • edited December 2006
    Well, consider that cats and most other animals "clean" themselves. Thus, they spread the probably microscopic eggs all over themselves. Now, imagine that you've been petting such a cat, and then you eat a sandwich without bathing your hands in rubbing alcohol. Voila, "accidental ingestion."

    I let my cat drink watre from teh same cup as I do. If she was just licking her butt before that, I might catch it.

    The reason learning about Toxoplasma is so important is because it's a parasite that lives in your brain and has recently been discovered to have rather intense effects on human behavior. Personally I'd like to know if a foreign organism is adversely affecting my ability to make conscious decisions independent of outside influence.

    Case in point: I live in a house with three cats, and got in a car accident last night. COINCIDENCE?!? (P.S. I was unharmed, but my car doesn't look so hot)

    I'm gonna say no on the Toxoplasma influence, Mario. I also live in the house with three cats, but I've failed to incur any sexiness from it. In fact, being a cat-lady is distinctively unattractive, I hear.

    ETA: Behemoth, are you drunk-posting?
  • edited December 2006
    No, just very sloppy for some reason. Sorry, I'll pay more attention to my typos.
  • edited December 2006
    Good, I don't approve of people posting while drunk.
  • edited December 2006
    He he.

    Mario! I hope your car gets better soon!

    And as for that parasite... I'm certainly glad I don't have any cats right about now.

    Talking Bratz Doll Drops the F-Bomb
    (CBS) MIAMI, Florida They look like a hipper, perhaps street-smart version of Barbie, and that's why Bratz dolls have become so popular with girls, but a Country Walk family found that the Bratz doll they bought might be a little too street-smart for their own good.

    Kristina Arce received a Bratz doll named Jade from Santa Claus, but when the doll started singing, her language sounded more than just jaded. The little girl brought it to the attention of her dad, telling him the doll was saying lots of bad words.

    "I actually heard at the end some bad words, and I was freaking out," said her father Luis Arce. "I was very upset about it."

    According to the father of the six-year-old girl, the talking doll was uttering expletives that start with ‘f’ and ‘b’. The father double-checked by playing the doll to others in the house and they confirmed what he had heard. CBS4's Natalia Zea tried it out herself and the similarities to these obscenities were clear enough that we opted to bleep out what the doll was saying.

    Arce is waiting for tomorrow to return the doll and get an explanation from the store or company.

    CBS4 News tried contacting the toy company on Christmas day, but could not get through to anyone.

    That's a truly unfortunate last name.

    Most adults I know won't buy Bratz for their kids because they look like whores.
  • edited January 2007
    Which? The kids, the adults or the dolls?
  • edited January 2007
    I thought it was relevant

    All three? maybe

    The dolls. They're basically whores, and it doesn't surprise me that they'd be saying such things.

    That basically is my answer. Mjc is good at saying what I was going to say before me.
  • edited January 2007
    Dolls can never be whores. No matter how much cocaine you stuff into them.
  • edited January 2007
    But they can look like whores, therefore they are classified as such.
