RESEARCHERS MAP THE SEXUAL NETWORK OF AN ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL
"For the first time, sociologists have mapped the romantic and sexual relationships of an entire high school over 18 months, providing evidence that these adolescent networks may be structured differently than researchers previously thought."
If you look at the chart, you can see one guy who had sex with 9 girls in the 18 month term of the study, one girl who had 6 partners, and one gay pairing and one lesbian pairing, both who had straight couplings as well. Fascinating. Also goes to show - the big ring in particular, how if protection wasn't being promoted, venereal disease could spread like wildfire in a high school.
This is what happens when a Los Angeles class attack submarine collides with an undersea mountain that wasn't on their nav charts. Don't these guys use sonar any more? or MRI? You can see how the sea pressure compacted the metal around the impact zone once it lost its integrity.
The New Yorker's 1978 profile on Johnny Carson - by Kenneth Tynan. A quote from the article of Orson Welles: "The studio is his native habitat. Like a character in a Harold Pinter play, or any living creature in a Robert Ardrey book, you have invaded his territory. Once you are on Carson’s turf, the onus is on you to demonstrate your right to stay there; if you fail, you will decorously get the boot. You feel like the tourist who on entering the Uffizi Gallery, in Florence, was greeted by a guide with the minatory remark “Remember, Signore, that here it is not the pictures that are on trial.”
A Linux user intentionally infects the Windows emulator on his computer to see what would happen. Interestingly enough, only one of the virii was able to affect Linux through the emulator, and the rest had only passing effect even on the emulator. Seems Linux is safer than Windows even when it's running Windows!
Dick Cheney attended the Auschwitz memorial in Poland with other world leaders in a truly standout fashion: while everyone else was respectfully wearing black overcoats and other reserved garb, he showed up in a green parka with white fur, and a black toque. The parka even had his name stitched in it like a preteen camper. Pic.
