So, they're saying that "highly-realistic sex robot = bad"?
Wasn't that the whole plot of a Futurama episode?
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That could take up your time.
It would, but it's already been started on my home computer, and I am far too lazy to start it here too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Y'all, I was quoting Spike. That's it.
Oz would have gotten that.
Bon, that doesn't sound right at all. Is it a muscle thing? Does massage help?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I've been running with some consistency for a couple months now and recently my legs ache all the time. Is this a potassium problem or just normal? It doesn't feel like lactic acid build-up.
Questions: have you changed your route, your intensity, or your time recently? Have you changed the surface you're running on? How old are your shoes?
My first thought is that you might be a little low on potassium and your shoes might be a little old. Or, the shoes might not be right for you. But my first indication that I need new shoes is often my legs & ankles hurting more than usual.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You know, the shoes is a good guess. I run on a treadmill and haven't increased by *that* much week-to-week, but the shoes are getting a little old.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Earth Surrounded by Giant Fizzy Bubbles
The article fails to mention if they're the effervescent or scrubbing varieties.....
The space above you is fizzing with activity as bubbles of superhot gas constantly grow and pop around Earth, scientists announced today.
Astronomers found the activity up where Earth's magnetic field meets a constant stream of particles flowing out from the Sun.
While space is commonly called a vacuum, in fact there is gas everywhere, albeit not as dense as the air you breathe.
The newfound bubbles are technically called density holes. In them, gas density is 10 times lower. The gas in the bubbles is 18,000,000 Fahrenheit (10,000,000 Celsius) instead of the 180,000 degrees Fahrenheit of the surrounding hot gas, which is known as plasma

How do Druids brush their teeth?
If my history teacher was correct, with stale urine rather than toothpaste. Though I guess the very act of brushing was better for teeth (if not breath freshness) than a lot of people's habits at the time.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Seriously, what is up with today? I finished all the work I could do on my own without anyone else's input about 20 minutes ago. I'll have about 2 hours' worth of work eventually, but that may not be until this afternoon. Then my boss is gone for 3 days, then he's back for a week, and then he's gone for the entire month of July. It's nice that they're paying me and all, but I am SO FREAKING BORED.

Those wacky Druids.
There needs to be a sitcom, where a family takes in a Druid boarder in order to save money. Nonstop wackiness!
