I think if you throw something big enough at a person, it will bounce nicely.

When's the last time you hurled a brick at someone? They tend to penetrate.

Is this code for something? Like fighting crime?

The red bird flies at midnight. The mouse sees its shadow in the moonlit field. Fnord.

That was quick. Well done, shrift!

I assume you're congratulating me on the cessation of the crippling pain. I think I should add that I still feel like toasted death, but now believe I won't yark in my lap on the way home, so progress has been made!

That aside, I'll bite. What do you mean, you're giving your computer a cocktail?

Actually, it is kind of like a drug cocktail. For my work Mac. It was, in professional jargon, 'acting squirrelly', so I gave my comp a Cocktail.

5'5", on a good day

In what crazy world is that short?

Signed, 5'2" after a late growth spurt.

I'd heard that balding men have higher testosterone, on average. I may have heard this from the excellent testosterone episode of TAL.

The gene identified in the AJHG report is called the Androgen Receptor (AR1) gene, so testosterone will be involved somehow.

In what crazy world is that short?

It is, IIRC, 1 inch over average.

Hmmm. Z is tall (6'5"), not in any danger of balding, fair-ish, intelligent, and heavy-set. My father is wee, balding, dark, intelligent, and slim. However, going back through my data set, I split my time between tall and short men. The intelligence remains the overriding factor.

Is anyone's Tuesday not sucking royally?

No. Mine is being so effing Monday like, it defies description.

Yay for Kat and Lori and Robin having great trips and being back. Now that you are, you need to come visit me soon.

I think if you throw something big enough at a person, it will bounce nicely. If the person is dumb enough, he might let you use a brick. Probably there is an upper limit to the "anything will bounce" rule, so don't try a wrecking ball, tempting as it might be.

I've heard that abundant testosterone causes both balding and a trend toward lots of body hair, and can definitely report seeing a correlation between those two factors.

I think smell can play a bigger role in selecting partners than we're consciously aware of. I know I've had a strong negative reaction to someone based on a personal scent that wasn't an indicator of bad hygeine. And thinking back, the ex was the most notably nice-smelling guy I can remember being around.

My dad is a 6' tall, black man who speaks English as a first language. The DH is a 5'7" (on a good day) white, latino, native spanish speaker. However, they are both smart cookies and snazzy dressers. And neither one is bald (Although I think I may be a bald old woman since I already have thinning edges. Good thing I'll be able to wear the Big Momma wigs). So, there you go.
