CROTCH RUGS R US

I had origionally planned to start this post using the phrase "seemingly innocent mass of hair" when I realized that there can never be anything innocent about a mass of hair. What that thing at the left is , is a merkin known as the "Standard" handcrafted by The American Merkin Company which has apparently been handcrafting merkins for 150 years. Talk about indentured servitude. For those of you still peeking at this through your shame filled fingers, a merkin is a pubic hair toupee. 29.99 and 7.50 shipping and handling and you too can have one of your very own.

MY NAME IS TED AND I'VE HAD A BONER FOR MOST OF FISCAL 2007

I scanned Viagraholics Anonymous for signs of satire but found none.
Perhaps the satire I sought was so friggin poe- faced that I knew it not , stumbling onward, like a blind folded two year old wearing his father's shoes to discover that most men are idiots.
They have test(icle)imonials from guys who claim not to need it but make up some jive ass story about erectile disfunction just so they can get that sweet ride that is a viagra high.
But the pills run out and they need more.
How can anyone get a priapism jones?
It boggles the mind as well as the pants.
Nothing ruins your party head like all the blood in it rushing elsewhere.

Proprioception is "the process by which the body can vary muscle contraction in immediate response to incoming information regarding external forces," by utilizing stretch receptors in the muscles to keep track of the joint position in the body "
Some kid from Bryn Mawr wrote a really interesting paper on this. it also explains why a legless (as in actually legless, not drunk) Ronald Reagan says "Where's the rest of me?" in King's Row.

Brains In A Vat
"Skepticism about the character of the external world has been a perennial philosophical problem. A 20th century version of the problem, presented in Hilary Putnam's Reason, Truth, and History, proposes this scenario: While you were sleeping last night, an evil scientist sneaked into your room, anesthetized you, kidnapped you, and took you back to her laboratory. Once there, the scientist removed your brain, put it in a vat, and hooked it up to a sophisticated computer with a remarkable program that allows it to feed your nerve endings signals that duplicate the sensory impulses that usually inform your brain about what your body is doing and where you are. You wake up in what looks like your body, in what looks like your bed, put on what appear to be your slippers, and go about what appears to be your normal life. Since everything looks the same to you, you never suspect that in fact you are just a Brain-in-a-Vat, being fed fake signals that make it seem like everything is normal. The $64 million dollar question for philosophers is, of course, How do you know that you are not a brain in a vat?"

BRILLIANT!

Nice article on child prodigys from The Boston Globe

SELF ESTEEM IS FOR LOSERS

Exploding the Self-Esteem Myth [ Scientific American]

" Boosting people's sense of self-worth has become a national preoccupation. Yet surprisingly, research shows that such efforts are of little value in fostering academic progress or preventing undesirable behavior"

Just as I always suspected.

Things I learned from this article that I kind of already knew:
1) People with low self esteem are negative about everything.
2) I wasted my time at The University of Iowa
3) feeling good about yourself has no positive or negative effect on drug addiction, work performance, or acedemic performance.
4) Low self esteem is often misdiagnosed as depression. I'm here to tell you the two are separate entities. Really shitty entities.
5) It really shouldn't be anyone's job to promote and maintain the self esteem of others. That's totally up to them.
6) I liked self esteem better when it was called "arrogance"

"Before it is safe to conclude that high self-esteem leads to happiness, however, further research must address the shortcomings of the work that has been done so far."-[ibid]

THOSE PESKY MORMONS

Ex-Popes, Jews Baptized as Mormons [News Max]
".....The Mormon church has long collected names from government documents and other records worldwide for posthumous baptisms. Under the practice, most Catholic popes have been proxy baptized, as have historical figures like Ghengis Khan, Joan of Arc, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Buddha, according to Helen Radkey, an independent genealogical researcher in Salt Lake City.

At the conversions, Church members stand in for the deceased non-Mormons. It's a ritual the church says is required for the dead to reach heaven....."
The site this story comes from appears to be really right wing, but in a curious way.
They push all the hot topic buttons by, get this- gathering clippings from a passsle of sources around the web and presenting them in easy to use chunks. It's only in the volume of sitings and choice of topics that there is a discernable pattern of bastardyness. After a quick scan of the content , I have decided that they sure do love themselves some Pope, and hate immagrants, and people who are different. If they are indeed "America's News Page", I weep for a once proud nation.

Mormons with their heightened sense of "Who's Your Daddy" , have run amuk with their superior geneology research skills.

The Mormon Church has one of the most exhaustive geneological databases in the world, housed in an underground salt mine (I crap you negative, I read it in National Geographic) . This vast resource is (more than likely ) not readily available to the Beehive State proper. Why this insane quest for legitamacy, in every sense of the word?

Is it because Mormanism is under fire for general "Kookdom" as both the far right and the far left have posited the term?
If I were them, I would straighten out that crazy shit about the white salamander and the holy dinnerware before I went off and did the slap and tickle with a dead guy- famous or not.

I can see why Jewish Leaders are angry at them for baptizing Holocaust victims. That sort of thing must be remembered as well as preserved. But what about the whole proxy nature of the baptisms? I don't know as someone in a short sleeved dress shirt standing in for my corpus indelecti will have made me any less of an Agnosatheist whilst I was still around.
Agnosatheist, is, as you might have guessed a term combining Agnosticism and Atheism, which basicly means-
if there is a God, I refuse to believe in him.
