- Is the term "Canadian" the new code word for racist references to black people? - The Frame Problem
  Posted by Jwgardner
  A news story out of the Southern U.S. has been circulating around the not-quite-mainstream Canadian print news media for the last week - apparently there's evidence to suggest that African American southerners are covertly being referred to as 'Canadian ' by racists who don't quite have the spine to out themselves as racists in public discourse.

- A rare treat from nature: Perfect snow doughnuts
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  As gravity pulls a clump down, it usually rolls down the hill and collapses, creating what the WSDOT calls a pinwheel. Or it will not roll at all, and come down in an avalanche of snow. But if the snow is the perfect density and temperature, it rolls down leaving a hole in the center, Stanford said.

  I love stories like this because I get to say nonchalantly, there's a South Park for that.

- Study finds out why it's gross to kiss your sister - CNN.com
  Posted by DBFerguson from CNN
  This story gets to the heart of why kissing your sister is, well, icky. Apparently my answer of "Because it is, and ew!" was not enough of a reason for these psychologists.

Really? Wow, that’s amazing! If the twin was actually living inside of him, did he have any kind of consciousness? Intriguing.

Stripper For A Day

Wikipedia describes striptease as a performance, usually a dance, in which the performer “strips off clothing to arouse sexual desire by displaying the naked body in motion. The ‘teasing’ part involves the slowness of undressing, while the audience is eager to see more nudity. Delay tactics include additional clothes being removed, putting clothes or hands in front of just undressed body parts. Emphasis is on the act of undressing along with sexually suggestive movement.” Tara’s one-night stand with striptease is worth to read.
Judgement or not, you had to find out something for yourself and you did. I think you should ultimately feel proud of yourself for being the kind of person whom is honest with themselves and honest with others. Any man should appreciate a sexualized heteorsexual woman and her desire to be desired.
