Wow. Everyone thinks it was in the 80s. As one of the researchers said:
“It is somehow chilling to know it was probably circulating for so long under our noses,” Worobey said
Seriously.

I’m unabashedly a member (participating in varying degrees) of many of the forums listed in this article. I don’t know if it’s a function of a certain kind of person looking for what they want joining or a group mentality thing, but many of these forums are a lot about conforming to their particular look. I suppose that brings a sense of community. And like any long time community, harder for new people to break into them. They are an invaluable resource. It’s just important to keep yourself yourself, rather than just fall lockstep into the aesthetic of the forum.

Here’s the Girl Scout cookies in order of healthiest to least.
Cafe Cookies (five er serving) contain little saturated fat.
Trefolis have 150 calories per serving (five cookies).
Little Brownies (four per serving) are sugar-free.
Thin Mints (four per serving) have the same amount of sugar and fat as two-cookie serving of Samoas.
Do-Si-Dos (two per serving) are low in saturated fat.
Tagalongs (two per serving) are high in fat, but it’s mostly the good, unsaturated kind.
All Abouts (two per serving) are also low in saturated fat.
Thanks-A-Lot (two per serving) have the same number of calories as twice as many Thin Mints.
Lemonades (two per serving) have four grams of saturated fat.
Samoas (two per serving) have high amounts of fat and sugar.

Thin Mints and Tagalogs are my cookies of choice. Not too bad on this scale. I can do the Samoas to a degree, but not too much. Not because they are apparently unhealthy, but more because I’m not a coconut guy.
In case you forgot what’s what in the world of Girl Scout cookies, here’s a handy dandy guide.
Not Jurassic 5, the Jackson 5.
The group, which included Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael, and later younger brother Randy, stopped touring in the ’80s when Michael and little sister Janet became superstars in their own right. The Jackson Five officially disbanded in 1990.
The Jackson 5 didn’t officially disband until 1990!??!?!
Varejao wants out of Cleveland - SI.com
First of all, it’s the BEST basketball situation he’ll likely EVER be in, playing with Lebron. Second, no matter how important the Cavs told him he was, there’s not a single person on the planet, except himself, who thinks Anderson Varejao is worth anything in the vicinity of $10-11M/year. Hell with what he brings to the table, he’s not worth half of that. I’m all for paying guys who are glue guys. Who do the things that don’t show up on the stat sheet, but are important. But unless you bring something else to the table as well, forget getting anything like what Varejao wants.
So Oprah announced she’s going to back Barak Obama. Pat Robertson endorsed Rudy Guiliani. Time to make sweeping generalizations about their core demographics! Yay. So it sets up the war in the homes of middle Americans everywhere! Yes everyone has their own vote (ooh, who has more pull? Oprah to get her fans to go vote for Barak [heck do they trust her political candidate choices as much as her friggin' book club choices?] or Pat to get his “parishioners” to go vote for Rudy?), but it has to bring up some tension in the home once the race ramps up. Of course this also presumes that the fans of these two are mindless lemmings that do whatever their leader says to do. And I don’t think that (for the most part).
