Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Went to sleep earlier than usual last night and that seems to have driven out the demon headache.

I have to vacuum the house because my parents are staying with us this weekend.(Family Bat Mitzvah, and they're heading to Florida afterwards.)

It's only 4:30, and I feel like this. Can I go to sleep now, please?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All right, putting aside for the moment that the term 'purity balls' leaves me less mature than 12, the above is not a restatement of the claim it's purporting to debunk

You should write PZ. He's a smart guy and would probably admit his mistake.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

True, that. I suspect he was reacting to the "too much sex will leave you unable to LOVE!" part and skimmed over the specifics of the craxxy pseudoscience.

Why can't we have a bonobo to run the federal reproductive health programs?

Cause then men would be hanging from the trees, penis fencing with each other.

and we'd be taking pictures.

Don't we already have this at frat parties?

IIRC, bonoboes are the only primate other than man who can recognize their reflection in the mirror as themselves, and not as a separate animal. (Elephants can do this, too.)

But apparently if you've had sex with too many people you use up all that oxytocin:

I thought it was our Thetans that used up all our oxytocin!
