What the ever-loving fuck. A Russian politician named Vladimir Volfovich Zhirinovsky who (from what I gathered on his Wikipedia page) is a Ann Coulter-type confrontational shit-stirrer. And he's got one helluva problem with women.
Over the weekend, one poor woman went through quite the ordeal. Last Thursday night, a New Jersey woman went on a first date with a man she met online. Seems pretty normal, right? Well, she decided to bring him home, and while she had her back turned in another room, buddy took the opportunity to take off with not only …
Amidst the crazy rumors of her budding romance with Tom Cruise, which I guess are not true, Laura Prepon has decided that she is going to rejoin the cast full time for the third season of Orange is the New Black, that is, if there is a third season. Also, SPOILER ALERT: Her character Alex Vause apparently doesn't die…

Today is a very very special day. In a most spectacular convergence, everyone’s favorite candy-related New Testament holiday has fallen on April 20, which also happens to be everyone’s favorite weed-related holiday.

Just what counts as a penis? A debate over what to call the genitals of an unusual group of cave insects has broader implications, because it gets right at the heart of science and science communication: what's the relationship between the labels we use in science and the way those labels are understood by our culture?

In light of our culture's strange conception that men desire sex far more than women, we seem to have forgotten that that definitely was not the case in the past.
