But honestly, I am not ready to go back.
Well yeah, because that's crazy.

According to the AM news this morning, the average sexual encounter lasts 24 minutes worldwide.
I want to know their methodology. I feel this way about most statistics reported as news, but in this case, prurience demands details.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, that's bullshit about work. That's not how you want to treat an assumedly valuable resource.
I'm beyond curious on the "sex" thing too.
Interesting article on medicine in TV. All the more interesting is a cite of 24 doing it right in the end:
The show was interested in this scenario: Terrorists release a biological agent in a hotel air conditioning system, making people sick in a matter of minutes and killing roughly 2,000 people within a few hours. They concocted a genetically engineered "Cordella virus" to do it, and wanted government officials to be able to wave an electronic device that could instantly detect the virus in the air.
They consulted CDC officials, who said there are no such devices. The CDC also suggested that health officials might try to deal with such a situation by isolating the ill from the well, perhaps reducing the contagion's impact, said Dr. Mitchell Cohen, director of CDC's Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases.
The writers took the tip, and the final death toll fell to under 800.

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

Do you suppose that's the average for vanilla sex, or for all sexual practices? Because it would take longer if you have to put on the gorilla suit first.

It looks like that 24 minute number may be a result of the Global Sexual Wellbeing 2006-07 Survey, presented at the World Congress on Sexual Health last week in Sydney.

I'm scared -- my boss is still out today, as she has been for the past nearly two weeks, and our Big Boss just called for a meeting with my whole department. Yikes.

Will they be able to get the sub back, or is the sub already reassigned?
don't know. But why is Gates & Gutters doing staffing and not the curriculum person?

Because it would take longer if you have to put on the gorilla suit first.
Maybe you start the timer *after* the suit is on....
