I just donated $10 for each comment made against sterilization and will do the same for any new comments--keep 'em coming!

I'm sure someone who's deaf could stand more than 45 min. in here.

Great stories. Thanks for posting.

Terrible.

Nerds are nerds because they're born that way. Too much testosterone in the womb causes:

Myopia
Left Handedness
Predispositon towards allergies

The left-handed-ness is key, as testosterone inhibits the left side of brain development, causing the overdevelopment of the right side (the mathematical side). That's why geeks have glasses, sniffle a lot AND kick ass in Trig!

Glad I was raised during a time when it was ok to make fun of fatties. The threat of being teased kept all of us skinny. :)

85% of the population in the US right now is fat, so I guess by 2030 the trend will be reversing.

BTW, I'm the real Nobody. Not that impostor above.

My parents have a pitbull. They've raised it in a loving / nurturing environment like any of their other non-pitbulls and it's vicious as hell.

Nietzsche came up with a very similar formulation that explains all humor: Laughter is to "be malicious, but with a good conscience."
