No stabbing, JZ, but why don't you shrift one of them just a little? Wouldn't word get around amongst the herd?
I want to know what happens when you shrift someone. It seems like it would involve liquor. And porn. Nothing these nimrods deserve.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Aimee, after a bit of Googling, it seems Taco Bell had tater tots seasoned with spicy seasonings that were called mexi-nuggets. After being tested in limited markets, they were pulled off the menu.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Huh? I've never heard them called that before.
Well, all the women are strong and all the men are good looking.

I can't even.
I'm sure Allyson can come in and back me up WRT scientists, and flea and amych on other academics.
Where I work it is lawyers, with the JZ exception clause for the buffista lawgeekers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Honestly, I think it happens to a large percentage of people who get put in charge of stuff - there's an automatic shutoff valve for things like minor niceties and common sense. I've seen it happen a lot in managers - suddenly they have an assistant they can use as an external brain and a part of their own brain suddenly atrophies.

Sort of like the eternal dilemma of: if you had to fuck either Carrot Top or Andy Dick, who would you choose?
I feel confident that I could figure out some way to make death an option in this scenario.

If the ring finger is longest, it indicates a high testosterone level.
I think if this were so, then men's hands (and women's, to a lesser extent) would change shape all the time! Your testosterone levels go up and down over the course of your life (possibly your day, or week, or month), but your fingers do not get longer or shorter after a certain point in life.
The people who believe in this think that the ratio of index_length :ring_length is influenced by prenatal testosterone and therefore is correlated with average testosterone levels in adulthood. The evidence for this is pretty sketchy, but it's so easy to measure i:r that people do it and call it a testosterone index.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought you were supposed to be able to tell who was gay from finger length ratios, too, no? Is that supposed to be related to the testosterone thing?
Also, people in general often suck. Especially at work.
