Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize we're floating in space?
Do you realize that happiness makes you cry?
Do you realize that everyone you know, someday, will die?

Oddly I never saw this topic. Moving on...

Did you know that in recent studies 1 out of 3 teenage girls in the united states has an STD? Think a little more before you go off and act like a dumbass and don't use protection, kk? The pill doesn't count, sweetie. Get a brain. smile.gif

I read something about this in our local paper. *searches*

1 in 4, yep.

"A virus that causes cervical cancer is by far the most common sexually transmitted infection in teen girls aged 14 to 19, while the highest overall prevalence is among black girls -- nearly half the blacks studied had at least one STD. That rate compared with 20 percent among both whites and Mexican-American teens, the study from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found."

HALF of the black girls studied had a disease. FUCKING HALF.

Personally, I'm not surprised that so many girls have diseases. But I'm sure a lot of dudes have STDs... a lot of them coming from the slutty girls, hahaha.

O.O

that's horrible.

I suppose that's why I always have protected sex... regardless of partner... regardless of pill or not.

Hell.. I've been off and on with my current for 3 years now and have been her only partner... but I still insist... not really for STD sake... but because in the case that 2% that the pill doesn't work... that's fucking me... and I'm really not ready for kids... lol...

Yeah. I have nothing to worry about with Chris, and he doesn't have to worry about me. But we still use protection for birth control purposes. If not for that, we wouldn't worry with the rubber. 1we8.gif

Heh. I can't seem to find the exact page again but it was just one of those random "do you know?" websites, I remember that much. There's a quick reference to it on this page, though: http://malaysia.answ...09220244AAbzYdR

Let's hope it isn't really true. ;_;

Don't worry, chocolate is yummy and I'm sure it's fine. To think about the spider thing is kinda gross though...

"Do you know that a human will swallow about eight spiders in their sleep at night?"

Holy shit! I didn't know that.

Did you know that the only places at which a continuous function can change from increasing to decreasing or vice versa are at its critical numbers?

Nope, didn't know that. I assume the larger the spider, the more poisonous they are! Lol.

Not really a sting from the bird eating spider for example will hurt for several days but won't kill you. While the black widow spider's(~8x smaller) poison can kill you within 2 hours. So it depends on the spider's need to protect itself. and it's evolutionary path. The bird eating tarantula has massive fangs, it can even release hairs into the air that irritate your skin as a warning.

Technically, glass is a glass. That's the name of the state it is in, as well as the material.
In my opinion, however, glass is closer to a supercooled liquid than to a solid, simply because it can still undergo a spontaneous change to a proper solid structure.

So if the choice for terminology was between solid, and liquid, I would choose liquid.

Also, old windows tend to be thin towards the top and thicks toward the bottom. A liquid property, though extremely slow tongue.gif

That's actually because of the way they were made. One edge would always be thicker than the other, and putting the heavier side at the bottom is just common sense tongue.gif
