The story (because I can’t say it any better than this):
“A new study found that trained sexologists could infer a woman’s history of vaginal orgasm by observing the way she walks.
…
The results showed that the appropriately trained sexologists were able to correctly infer vaginal orgasm through watching the way the women walked over 80 percent of the time. Further analysis revealed that the sum of stride length and vertebral rotation was greater for the vaginally orgasmic women. “This could reflect the free, unblocked energetic flow from the legs through the pelvis to the spine,” the authors note.”
Translation: A college student who shakes her booty when she walks, has probably enjoyed sex a time or two.
I hate to tell it to the researchers, but this is not really much of a surprise.
I recently signed up for the “Netflix lets you rent, watch and return DVDs from home - Try free for 2 weeks” offer that you see advertised around town. It seemed like things were slowing down around my house and we might have a chance to watch a couple or three movies during our nice free trial. I signed up for the 3 movie plan with the Blu-ray option (they send you the Blu-ray version whenever it is available - I LOVE that). To prove how un-busy I thought we would be, I put 30 DVDs into My Queue. I knew that we couldn’t possibly watch every one of them, but at least we wouldn’t run the risk of not having a movie in the list.
The first movie on the list arrived the very next day with the other two arriving the day after. We watched the first one that same day and mailed it back the next morning. But the other two movies sat around for a couple or more days. We finally finished watching them and sent them back. In the meantime, the replacement to the first one showed up. And so on… I really have to hand it to them. The movies arrived very quickly!
My free trial ended yesterday. The grand total of DVDs watched during the free trial was 5 movies with the 6th arriving on the last day. We decided to give it a full month and see how we like it. We didn’t have any chance to watch anything from the “Watch Instantly” selection, but I would really like to give it a fair try.
I can’t count the number of times I have been working away at my computer and thought “man, I really wish I had some toast right now!” Well… let’s see… maybe I can count it up … … … how about ummm… maybe one.
Oh well, for all those of you who have had the toast craving and couldn’t tear yourselves away from the computer to go and make the toast, then the CrazyPC people have just the thing for you. A one-slice toaster that fits into your available 5.25″ bay. It costs right around $30.
Today everything changed for me. I went beyond asking the question of “why.” Usually, after I see strange things out there on the Internet I ask “why” or “what did they do that for” or “WTF”. But not today - today the only thought that came into my mind after seeing it was “is there a Mac version”? Turns out - not yet, but they are working on it.
Moisten the rims of 4 margarita glasses with lime, then press into sugar. Drizzle raspberry puree around the inside of the glass. Place glasses in freezer to chill.
Combine the ice, lime juice, tequila, Cointreau® and mango in a blender. Blend until slushy.
Pour mango margarita mixture into the chilled glasses. Drizzle raspberry puree on top.
I had always wondered how fortune cookies came about, but I never really got around to looking it up. Well, someone else did and even gave out some fortune cookies to some Chinese people. It seems that fortune cookies are American, so the Chinese were pretty perplexed as to why someone would put paper into their cookies.
You’ve been working on a home remodel job for months. You have most everything done except for the sinks, so you get started on them. But the sinks just prove to be too much of a challenge. What do you do with your house when you can’t figure out how to put the sinks back together? Sell it! Just make sure that when the photographer comes over to take pictures, that they don’t change a thing. Make sure you leave everything as it was - no staging for these people that is for sure.
I have been watching Doctor Who most all of my life. When I was young it showed on the local PBS station. Now that I am a little older it plays on the SciFi channel. What I guess I never realized was exactly how long the show (or versions of it) had been around. However, someone on the Internet was kind enough to put together a pretty amazing tribute to The Doctor and everything that comes with him.
Great White Snark made a point about getting what you asked for - kinda one of those be careful what you wish for warnings. He asked for pictures and commentary about tattoos from his readers. Sadly for him, his wish was granted:
When I began soliciting geeky tattoos from my readers, little did I know that I’d get e-mails from half(?)-naked dudes taking poorly-lit pictures of themselves in mirrors.
This is where hindsight comes in at 20/20.
Anyway, I shan’t complain, because first, I sort of asked for it, and second, it’s my own fault for not starting a blog about nude swimsuit models with birthmarks shaped like Star Wars characters.
Since I like to think of myself as an enlightened sort of person who can learn from others in addition to my own experiences, I am hereby encouraging any of my female readers to send along pictures of them with their geeky tattoos, body-art, piercings, birthmarks, brandings, geeky costumes, or etc - all via email to me. Personally, I like normal women, but swimsuit models are still welcome to send in their stuff - I am not one to discriminate You send them in and I will post about them. If I get enough of them, who knows.
The Periodic Table of Elements just got a little more interesting. Some very fine folks over at The University of Nottingham put together a nifty little table for us to review our elements. Which overall is very nice of them, but they didn’t stop there. They also linked up each one of those little boxes on the table to a video about each one. So not only do you have the table, you also get a nice little video telling you all about it.
