If Beverly's DH is coming to the hotel at 11:30, what time should I wake Beverly and Cass up so that they will be ready when he gets here?
Simon: You are my beautiful sister. River: I threw up on your bed. Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Is there any major risk to, for once, giving men something that was tested on women instead of the other way around?
There are diseases that render men sterile that don't do the same for women. Mumps, e.g. I think rheumatic fever disproportionally affects the hearts of male sickos* over female, too.
(* What do we call people with a sickness?? My brain isn't working. "Victim" is definitely the wrong word.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Propecia (a hair-regrowth drug, initially developed to treat prostate problems) carries a warning that women shouldn't take or touch it. It doesn't say why.

Is anyone around who could translate a phrase into Latin for me?
It's been awhile, but yeah. Lemme have it. I got 5 years of Latin percolating somewhere amongst the dead brain cells.

Note I'm not saying never, I'm saying find out if it will actually do any good before mandating compulsory vaccination.
I agree with Matt on this point completely. Actually, the only argument against making the HPV vaccine mandatory that really resonates with me is those who want more research and testing first. Absolutely the FDA needs to be very certain about the efficacy and safety of the vaccine before anyone takes it.

Knowing the truth through the lumps of your head
A friend of mine (ok, my ex) is building a phrenology website. It's one of his weird hobbies.

Ok, I think lumps/bumps could be "tuberis" -- swellings.
So, (And anyone feel free to correct me, cause my Latin gramma is way rusty):
Intelligendo verum per tuberis in vestri caput.
Understanding truth through the swellings on your head.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Is tuberis the plural? My dictionary's at school, but that looks like the singular. And I'd switch to genitive for "your head", given Zenkitty's construction.
I, however, have no recollection whatsoever of how one constructs gerunds and the like, apart from the infinitive. It looks like you've got the first/singluar/present, yes? Or is it one of the forms I don't recall?

tuber, -eris. Neuter.
I think it takes the genitive, and duh -- genitive plural, 3rd declension is "tuberum." PLURAL threw me.
Do you think the gerund should take the accusitive? The ablative, -ndo, goes to "by understanding".....hmm, maybe the accusitive is better.
So, "Intelligendum verum per tuberum in vestri caputum."
That's a lot of -um's.
