    Some guy in New York filed suit against CVS; they let slip to his wife that he had a presription for viagra she didn’t know about. He says they ruined his marriage by violating his privacy. I suggest he’s upset because didn’t get the viagra because of his wife.

    On June 2, in observation of International Sex Worker’s Day, The Black Sex Workers Collective assembled at Judson Church in New York before a rally at Washington Square Park, to celebrate the day: absolutely no one burst into flames at the church.

    Christ undoubtedly had sex, he didn't burst into flames either. They didn't consider it much of a deal at all. Christianity lasted until the original Gnostics were slaughtered. Anything after that, other than faith, is abomination.
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, you heard it here first.)

    The Aerosmith song "Dude Looks Like a Lady" is about Motley Crue's Vince Neil. According to songwriter Desmond Child, Steven Tyler saw Vince Neil at a bar and thought he was a hot chick.

    He's way worse now. I went to Motley's very last show, and oh lordy. Thank God for Nikki Sixx's badass cool.

    ETA: Found this one on my bag of chocolate covered almonds just now:

    Technically, almonds are not nuts. They are the seeds of the fruit of the almond tree.

    So if you were to get a hypothalectomy*, your libido would go away, you'd lose weight due to no appetite, and you'd just sit passively in the face of danger.

    Holy shit, is that the section of the brain heroin affects?

    *Yes, I know where it is and that that sort of surgery would be fatal, just roll with me, okay?

    Woo-hoo! That's what I needed to see on my screen first thing in the morning.

    It's karma though, I've fucked with enough heads here that I earned it, so well-played!

    Nah man, heroin just makes everything feel super happy awesome. Plus, you know, most junkies are skinny because they spend their money on heroin not food.

    Ah, I thought it was an appetite suppressant as well. The more you know.

    I know the days of the week in Skyrim by heart. Not even joking. If someone asks me, I can recite them right then and there.

    It is an appetite suppressant, an everything suppressant. Tremendous constipation is another side effect of its suppressant qualities. Junkies are usually skinny for a combination of both of these reasons, plus more. When someone is chemically addicted to a substance, it fucks with the brain’s limbic system, which is the reward center. A healthy brain will release dopamine, serotonin, et al. when the person does something to ensure survival/reproduction. It’s why we like to eat and have sex. Our brains are wired to reward us for those things. An addict has chemically trained their brain to see getting the drug as a means to survival. So, every other biological drive (eating) is pushed to the back-burner, and heroin takes precedence over everything else. The lack of eating is definitely because junkies spend their money on skag, and it’s also because their appetite is physically suppressed, but that suppressed appetite is hugely affected by the brain’s refusal to place it above using the drug as something necessary to survival.

    So, that must mean that the formula for love is

    Code:
    (1/x) + (x2+y2) + (|-2x|) + (-3|sin(y)|)
    If only we knew the values of x and y :rolleyes:
