Goth subculture may help self-harming kids
A study of goth kids finds that goths are more likely to "self-harm" but that they became goths after this behavior manifested, and suggests that goth subculture might in fact help messed-up kids stop hurting themselves:
"One common suggestion is they may be copying subcultural icons or peers [when they self-harm], but our study found that more young people reported self-harm before, rather than after, becoming a goth. This suggests that young people with a tendency to self-harm are attracted to the goth subculture," says Robert Young, who led the study.
"Rather than posing a risk, it's also possible that by belonging to the goth subculture, young people are gaining valuable social and emotional support from their peers." But he cautions: "However, the study was based on small numbers and replication is needed to confirm our results." Only 25 participants felt strongly associated with goth culture.

Feeble threat. You know that earworm already owns your ass.
I can't tell you / who to sock it to
Is there someplace you can buy the bun?
idle curiousity: how does taste and texture compare to fruitcake?
It's much less moist than fruitcake. I can't imagine where one would get it other than a Jamaican food store.
