For Gay Men, an Attraction

to a Different Kind of Scent – New York Times

so like wouldn’t one think that studies like these would put an end to debates whether being homosexual is a “choice?” though, i’m not sure how much debate there is about that anymore. what exactly is the position of the “right” on homosexuality other than they think it is wrong and immoral, etc.

Pac Man celebrates his 25th birthday – May. 10, 2005

ah pac-man’s 25. i was never good at pacman. which leads me to my question: does pacman have an ending? can you beat/win at pacman? like galaga didn’t have an ending, it just went faster and faster (though it got easier if you did the trick so the “bugs” couldn’t shoot at you). what happened with pacman? i suppose i could use google or something and look it up, but rather than expend the effort, i’ll just ask the question to the world at large…

okay, i’m not a doctor. i don’t pretend to know about medicine. if i can research specific things to ask informed questions, i do. and i don’t know what the diagnosis/prognosis was for him, but seriously how long is rip hamilton of the pistons going to wear that face mask? honestly. does it take THIS long for a broken bone in the face to heal? he’s been wearing it for at least 2 years (all of last season pretty much and all of this season). is it just something he’s decided to wear to “protect” his face? does he wear it for fashion? does he wear it for superstition (his game really came together last season)? how long is he going to wear this mask? do you think his friends are tempted to buy him “custom” masks? btw, what happened to custom masks? now all masks are clear and plain. i remember in the early-mid 90s all of a sudden all the face masks were all kinds of painted in designs, etc.
