I used to be in WITI. It was a while back. I never did anything with it. I'm uninvolved and unambitious that way.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Chopsticks, unless I'm feeling really lazy.
This article explores this fourth possible explanation for the dearth of women in science: They found better jobs.

The only thing that make me remarkable in my extended living family is that I've got the largest rack. By far. It's all my paternal grandmother's fault. I'm the only one to inherit it thus far. I would much have preferred some other characteristic.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
