It's actually pretty sciency. The guy is trying to determine if glucose affects the taste of semen because of the rumor/myth that pineapples make semen taste better. Also because apparently diabetics have better tasting semen.

Great way to test for blood sugar levels.

$2 says Pfizer is already looking to patent it.

I've been trying to get a taste for IPAs and other hoppy beers, it just hasn't clicked for me yet. I'm lucky in that I live around a lot of great brewing, so I can get pretty good IPAs and stuff like that.

Sierra Nevada is really easy to get out here, I'm just not a huge fan.

9ºC inside? Holy crap. Sounds like the last three winters for me, but now that they've finally put up the new insulation and windows, it's so hot in here!

Seriously, though, it's the first time in three years I've been able to wear just a sleeveless in late October without freezing my tits off.

I find that fresh air is overrated, and I hate sleeping where there's a cold draft. Not only do I get a headache the next day, but the movement of air on my face keeps setting of false alarms in my head. Usually a draft in my bedroom means that a window or door has been opened somewhere, which means a potential night-time visitor, either human or arachnid. Regardless, my mind insists that I need to get out of bed and check it, even if I'm the one who left the window open. Just in case...

I keep windows open all the time in the summer and spring, other times, not so much.
In the winter I keep a window open after a hot shower and the chilly breeze feels amazing.

Also, Them Crooked Vultures is @#%^ing awesome.

The game Lolgaxe never knew he needed.

I'm a bit jealous about that. I just found out about them.
Apparently they're making a second album though, gotta see them live then!

I sure hope that I get to see them.
I hope I'll have some money saved up for next summer to go to Roskilde or some other big festival like that.

I've got tickets for two gigs now; Muse this december and The Killers for february.

Not entirely correct, either. The "original" vampires from most cultures were female and of ordinary appearance.

In ancient Malaysia, the vampire myth originated as a woman who lost her child at birth and proceeded to fly into the trees and forever haunt pregnant women and newborn babies. Probably superstition related to the various problems surrounding childbirth.

In Greece, Philostratus told the story of Apollonius who saved a man from marrying a wealthy young woman who turned out to be a vampire intent on sucking the life out of him. A Greek poem told the story of Philinnon, a young woman who had died a virgin and was returned to "life" to experience the joys of sexy time before leaving the mortal realm.

The blood-sucking vampire throughout history has always been of relatively normal appearance. Both genders relied on their physical appearance to get close to their victims in order to feed. The winged, clawed, naked ladies you mention sound more like succubi, who were indeed demons, but hid their demonic appearance in order to lure in men with their beauty. The only female vampires I've come across matching your description were the ones in the movie Van Helsing, and even they hid their wtfugliness by appearing as very hot women.

And it makes sense, really, for an organism that feeds off of similar-looking organisms to blend in rather than to stand out. If female vampires were hideous beasts, they would have been hunted down and killed. By posing as beautiful, charming fellow humans, they would have been able to live in peace with easy access to food.

Win8 is a tablet abomination that in no way belongs on a PC!

But grats.

True that.

I'll decide what to knock and what not to knock...

'Cause I like shiny new things and it looked cool. Plus it only cost me $15.

Edit: Okay, both are kinda NSFW, but the one hidden in spoiler tags is downright inappropriate.

Oh, I laughed at this. Nerd rage!



Also, this (NSFW):

Well, y'know. I'm poly and all that.

Dude, always ask what the waitress would have. If she says something sh*tty, just say, "nah, I'll have _____."

How I order (and wine):

1) Something I know.
2) Porter/stout/pinot noir.
3) Waitress/bartender recommendation.

It's pretty foolproof.

Sounds whiny, but strangely catchy.

Soo... Disney bought Lucasartsfilm, Star Wars 7 is being/will be made and supposed to be released in 2015.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. I mean, sure, I love Star Wars, and Disney isn't just cartoons and stuff anymore, but something in the back of my mind won't stop screaming.

I wonder what period Episode 7 will be set in. Part of me hopes they'll move forward past Luke training new Jedi and the business with Han and Leia's kids, mainly because I'd hate to see new actors portraying those old characters. Harrison Ford could return as Han Solo, I guess, but Mark Hamill and Carrie Fischer are both, to my knowledge, out of the live action movie business.

I'm alive, but no power for about 26 hours now. Phone reception is shoddy at best.

No major damage here, but family friends have lost all their stuff to flood damage. Close family friend may have lost her house completely, but she won't be allowed on the island to find out for another 10 days.

Yeah definitely. I'm glad you're okay! *hugs*

Of course he's ok. He's one of them gays who did this!

Since Disney seems intent on turning Star Wars into an even bigger movie franchise, I can help but wonder if (and hope that) they'll eventually do a Old Republic movie.

Yes, I want to see Revan (mainly because of Bastila and Mission, rawr!) in a live action movie!

Edit: Oh, and as long as they don't put Shia LaBeouf in it, I'm fine with whatever. I was, apparently, the only one who enjoyed Jar Jar in The Phantom Menace, but I can't stand that guy. Just can't stand him.
