An article about a 15 minute writing exercise that closed the gender gap in first year physics exams at university:

@unicorns, not centaurs: Yep, same here. My heart breaks for her.
"The hostility boiled over in the penultimate episode, in which Morgan lashed out at the flamboyant Zac, asserting that, "It's not part of my character to jump up and down and flail and sing show tunes… I would rather remain composed than freak out like a little girl.""
I know this isn't going to win me any friends, but I think this statement is unfair. Zac 'lashed out' at Morgan first by decrying that someone who showed so little outward excitement kept winning (and winning, and winning - gee Zac, it might have something to do with skill? Not reactions?). I think after being called out in front of the judge's in such a juvenile manner, Morgan responded relatively calmly. And I like show tunes and would totally freak out, but he's right, that's not him and why should it be.
The fairy comment is not defensible however, and yes, Morgan is a douche. Just this example above trying to defame his character irked me because it's so out of context here.

@Susan B.: Oh, I like the gift idea. I'm spending Thanksgiving with my boyfriend's family for the first time and I'm Australian so I have no real compass point for this. What would be a suitable gift?
When I think about you, I retouch myself.
@WaffleCopter: And I need to know if I can ride my horse bareback in white capris. Come on people, this is important information.
This article is about a British woman caught performing a 'sex act' on a man at a war memorial (and later urinating on it), and how she has now been dubbed 'the most disgusting person in Britain' and is appearing in court. The 'man' in question is only mentioned in the sentence describing what she was doing. He, evidently, is not considered disgusting for having someone perform a sex act upon him at a war memorial. What the damn fuck, people. *clears throat* DOUBLE STANDARDS MUCH?!??! I am fuming.

@MadFab: Nazi hunters!
@zoethebitch: I think the statistic usually bandied around is that 1 of 4 Australians are born outside of the country? And there is a loooong history of immigration from the UK and Ireland to Australia.
Australia has a female prime minister! Through a party coup rather than an election but hopefully a win for women nonetheless.

I am seeing them at Lilith Fair in July and I am more excited by Heart than by the rest of the line-up put together. Except maybe A Fine Frenzy. But yeah - SO EXCITED!
@Writingirl: *dies while slow clapping*
@sarasasa: I just reposted this video everywhere I could think of. THANK YOU. I cackled like a madwoman at my desk until the person in the next office coughed politely.

@MediumMac: I always have to finish any version of the song (including Glee last night) by crooning "Mullet with headlights... over surprised guy!" at the end and it cracks me up EVERY. TIME.
@stacyinbean: Ahhhh thanks for the heads up! No, certainly not something they advertise too widely ;)
I could totally get behind this, having bought a skirt last summer for $40 only to have my friend go back a week later and buy the same skirt for $9.95. It did not make me want to buy full price items at GAP, that's for sure!! Hopefully it's a hit in Vancouver.
PS. I want to know whose cars they are and if the roofs were damaged.
@TheFormerJuneBronson: I watched it on Netflix's Watch Instantly! If you don't want to wait.
I watched 'All About Eve' last night for the first time - wow. Bette Davis was obviously incredible, but the scene where Anne Baxter is in the bathroom talking to George Sanders and comes out in a towel? She owned that scene.
@yvanehtnioj: Shyeah, I bet if I had nine rooms I *would* be happy.
