I always wonder who initially thought such things were a good idea

This exploration...sometimes I get a cramp in my brain. Just. Don't. Get. It.

This is when I just repeat "a lid for every pot, a lid for every pot" to myself.

how they persuaded the second person that it was a good idea, as well.

It got a name! It spread through the Internets!

Though I wonder if it's something people get their jollies talking about, but like nobody actually does.

It sounds like the sort of thing you'd try just to get a lower Purity Test score.

I only wish I thought this was true. Sadly...there are some very different lids for some vewy, vewy different pots out there. Not that there is anything wrong with that...

Like the donkey punch? (didn't that prove to be fictional due to impossiblity?)

Back to Wikipedia . . .

I'm sure this isn't what they meant when they said the Wiki was educational.

There are so many things you can do to lower your score that don't smell that bad, though.

I have to say--I think it's incredibly gross, and I'd like to ask people that enjoy it (especially on the receiving end) what's in it for them.

But I don't think it's sad or anything. Just NAST.

It seems to conclude that the Democrats are right in that the war in Iraq has fueled jihadist and that the Republicans are right that we shouldn't withdraw from Iraq. So basically we screwed up big time in invading Iraq, but now we're stuck there.

Umm no. It says:

perceived jihadist success there would inspire more fighters to continue the struggle elsewhere.

Should jihadists leaving Iraq perceive themselves,and be perceived, to have failed, we judge fewer fighters will be inspired to carry on the fight.

Al-Qa’ida, now merged with Abu Mus’ab al-Zarqawi’s network, is exploiting the

situation in Iraq to attract new recruits and donors and to maintain its leadership role.

It argues that staying and winning would be better than staying and losing or leaving and losing. I'm sure staying and winning and getting a pony would be even better. But given that things are getting worse the longer we stay, staying and "winning" (whatever "winning" means) is not an option: how do the two remaining options - staying and losing vs. leaving and losing constitute a dilemma? If the choice is to continue to kill and occassionally torture Iraqis or stop killing and occassionally torturing Iraqis and both options increase terrorism, obviously the option where you stop killing and torturing is the correct one.

Really. What do you possibly get out of the receiving end...no pun intended honestly.

I can imagine some responses and they all sort of make me sad. But I'm with you on the NAST.
