    The sex for food study seems hyped. It said that chimps shared their food with females in their tribe who weren't as successful at getting food. Isn't that just being nice and isn't being nice one of the criteria for choosing a mate? It's a stretch by the male researchers to suggest that the chimps were "paying" for sex. Early humans were egalitarian. If they didn't share their food, not only would they not have been selected as a mate, they risk being tossed out of the group.

    @PersonOfInterest: It makes sense, because isn't criteria for selecting a mate the ablility to get food? The female chimps of course would mate with males that could get meat (and shared!) over ones that did not.

    I think I need to get away from the computer for a while;

    i just shook my laptop trying to wake up the baby squirrel.

    This after I reminded myself it wouldn't be able to hear me yell "wake up!"

    Ugh: A "study" funded by weight management supplement LIPObind, has found that half of British women have "muffin tops." I can't wait for that term to die.


    the last time I was in London it seemed to me that the only reason Brit women had muffin tops was they insisted on wearing their pants at least one size too small. ;) Same with American college women.


    A size 10 body looks great. Until you squeeze it into a size 8, or 6. Then not so much.

    You know it's been a long, strange day when you're curiously attracted to the OMG!BRIGHT!PINK! Barbie Fiat.


    Which, let's be clear, I am.


    I went something like fifteen years of my life hating pink and now I can't get enough of vibrant shades like that. It's sick, I tell you.

    Okay-


    The douchebags calling 911 about their fucking fried rice are the ones who have 12 year old having anal sex.


    Why?


    Because they are horrible, stupid people who cannot deal with their own lives, much less any one their kids.

    I can't wait for that term to die. • An ad for Durex "pleasure gel" that features multiple women apparently orgasming while Mozart's Magic Flute plays in the background has been cleared to play before 11pm on British television.


    Channel 4 has shown A Clockwork Orange at 11 p.m. on a weeknight before, so this comes as no surprise to me.

    I went to a hippie school in CA where I didn't get homework and called my teachers by their first names. I think this is a good idea, give kids time to play and do kid stuff (not sex or lawsuits) when they get home. They're already in school for 8 hours.

    @KiddyKat: I feel that if you are effectively teaching, then kids won't need to have 3 hours of homework.
    I don't think of "effective teaching" as something that teachers have much control over these days, because everything is supposed to follow a curriculum.

    So my school has a public safety service that has an emergency line and a normal line. Unfortunately, the number sequence for the emergency line is much easier to remember, so we mostly just call that one whenever we have any sort of question or concern.


    ...hopefully we do not subsequently treat 911 in this fashion when we have graduated.

    @baraqiel: In Boston you have to call 911 for ANY police services, like when this asshole keeps parking his GIANT, LOUD, SMELLY ICE CREAM TRUCK IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE! While it pissed me off, it certainly wasn't an emergency, but they made me call 911 each time.

    So, I've just decided to go off the pill to see what life is like without hormones. IF I like it, I'm going for the IUD. Can anyone recommend condoms. I'm married, so I don't think I've used them since, well...let's just say it's been a long time.

    @mfnher: I tried condoms for a little while as sort of a test run for going off the pill. I must have razor blades in my vagina, because a good 75% of them broke. They were different brands obtained in different ways, and I'm pretty sure I understand how to put them on. Needless to say, I'm going to stick with my pill.

    @SylvanSylph: Yeah, that's kind of what made me think of it. I don't always randomly think about what kind of condom brand I should be using on a Saturday night. Plus, hanging out on Jezebel is usually reserved for avoiding doing work. That's not really such a big issue on the weekends.

    @mfnher: I had a pretty important question (one I had been trying to figure out for months) that I specifically saved up (and I think, also stayed in) to have answered on a Saturday night and no one answered it! It was terribly sad.


    And I agree, as much as I like Hortense, I am kind of disturbed when I find myself of Jezebel for hours on the weekend. Avoiding going out and having a life (and also cleaning my apartment) is not really what I should be using Jez for.

    I'm pretty sure that at 12 I was still trying to figure out the language. And I'm pretty sure I didn't learn that there's no difference between giving head and preforming oral sex until I was close to 14.
