The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Women have sex because we like orgasms with people we find attractive.
This would be the best AHA! moment ever, if it were actually an AHA! moment.

Okay, CBC is reporting there's now been an earthquake in Peru. Somethng is going crazy along the fault lines.
Unfortunately, there's evidence suggesting that one earthquake can weaken distant fault lines, making it easier for other earthquakes to occur. [link]

Fortunately, small quakes bleed off pressure that can lead to larger quakes. Utah has near continuous small tremors, which is a blessing because a big one will send the entire Salt Lake Metropolitan area to the bottom of a liquifaction pool the size of prehistoric Lake Bonneville.
And I don't think I'll have Net access there.

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