'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What is this spot, exactly, that you can burn to death and drown in the same place?
Well, not EXACT spot. But guy burned to death on the pier and drowned person found in water next to pier. (Actually on listening to the news report, drowned person found a couple of blocks away. On the other side of my office, actually.)
Grrrr... the stupidity of others kills me... Abstinence Only Sex Ed doesn't decrease STDs in fact, it seems to increase them!

I came across an interesting opinion about this issue (slightly tangentially). It argued that even were there to be a rise in abstinence, it could increase the spread of STDs. The idea is that individuals cautious enough to be swayed by such campaigns are less likely to have an STD themselves, and by taking themselves out of the pool of possible sex partners, they make it more likely that the individual one hooks up with is relatively incautious and a greater risk.
Struck me as a thought experiment in need of some empirical data, but interesting nonetheless.
I had read that too, billytea, at some point. Dunno if I buy that part of it, but certainly provocative.

thoughts on these earrings?
I'm not sure what organic wire wrapping means, but, regardless, I think they're pretty and almost delicate. I say go for it.
Comic Critics reveals what the Watchmen video game might be like. ...Well, not really, but it's funny:
I wonder if they're using organic to describe the style in which the wire is wrapped, as opposed to a more precice/rigid/linear style. Beautiful lighting and photography there.
Quick poll:
For me, the answers are yes and yes, but I'm thinking that in the US at least the answer to the first is "no." Based on a snippet of a Style TV special I saw today, the answer to the second is "yes."
Which doesn't make all the sense in the world to me.

The first time I typed it out, I left out the word "wrapping" but then I looked at it again and realised maybe that's what was organic. I still think it's overuse of the term, but less impossible.
I think I'd generally interpret "underwear" to include bras.
And I'd interpret "undergarment" to mean the speaker is being oddly formal for someone talking about underwear.
