Study shows that short glasses make you drink more:
People pour 20-30% more alcohol into short, wide glasses than into tall, narrow ones of the same volume, but they wrongly believe that tall glasses hold more, finds a study in this week's BMJ.
Even professional bartenders pour more into short, wide "tumblers" than into "highball" glasses, suggesting that experience of pouring alcohol has little effect.
The study involved 198 college students and 86 bartenders from a large city in the United States.
After several practice pours, half the students were given tall, slender 355 ml glasses and half were given short, wide 355 ml glasses. They were then asked to pour a standard "shot" of alcohol (1.5 ounces, 44.3 ml) for four mixed drinks (vodka tonic, rum and Coke, whiskey on the rocks, and gin and tonic).
Each bartender was also asked to pour the same four drinks, either with no instructions or after being told to take their time.
Both students and bartenders poured more into short, wide glasses than into tall, slender glasses. Among students, practice reduced the tendency to overpour into tall glasses, but not into short, wide glasses. Most students also believed that the tall glasses held more.
Despite an average of six years of experience, bartenders poured 20.5% more into short, wide glasses than tall, slender ones. Paying careful attention reduced but did not eliminate the effect.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Also, Wednesday one liners on Overheard in New York always have a transit worker roundup and it never fails to crack me up. I may not have love for the strike, but damn do I love conductor one liners: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why do I know this and you don't?
Because you're doing research for the Geocities page?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Alexey MI187 is a fine lookin' male.
Do they have any Croatian guys? I've decided a) all Croatian guys are hot and b) I would like a Goran of my very own.

Hee! Somewhere around the interweb, I just saw a picture of Bobby Cuza hard at work, and it reminded me another thing I love about NY1 -- they have like no staff. He's his own cameraman! And I know they don't have makeup people. I remember Andrew Kirtzman running his own teleprompter, even.

Mihail MI177 could fit right in here:

I'll set up a special no hotlinking image for you.
Why don't you have his favourite colour be forest green (I'd die laughing if it is), and say that all the gifts he receives from girls are equally special?
