You should exit the best treehouses with devices like these.

Very cool, BJ@w

If I had a treehouse, I'd want a BlueFlash Custom Descent System. Come to think of it, might try to put one off the balcony down to the garage! (wishful thinking, much?)

[piqaboo]

I want to put one down the back hill. Great way to deliver chippings to the compost heap!

A Critic Takes On the Logic of Female Orgasm

"The female orgasm, she said, "is for fun."

You can't make this stuff up.

Any additional comments would be superfluous, and probably get me banned by B.com!!

I can picture it. Using one of those self-tipping cars, you could load lawn clippings at the top, pull the release, and watch them fly up, down, around and around, whizz, WHUMP! <DUMP!>. To retrieve the cart, there should be a small rail switch and a piece of straight track coming back up the hill.

With a pet burro and a good recording of that Volga boatmen song, you've got a complete, 100% enviro-friendly organic gardening support plant that's actually fun to operate. (The burro can dispose of spare carrot tops and apple cores, plus providing yet more compost material.)

Well, yeah. Why else would we put up with men in the house? Useful for taking out the trash?

Don't need that many mastodons hunted, anymore. Nor lions slain. A guy's gotta be good for something, dunne? So what's left? Child care, housekeeping, financial contributions, treehouse construction? Automobile maintenance?

Fun sounds like a better reason.

"Perhaps the reason orgasm is so erratic is that it's phasing out," Dr. Hrdy said. "Our descendants on the starships may well wonder what all the fuss was about."
I can't believe Dr. Hrdy is a woman. She must not get out of the lab often. And don't you wonder where they find their volunteers?

Unnamed man hasn't uttered a word but plays the piano with enthusiasm


” His suit and tie were dripping wet, and he wouldn't say a word despite his agitation. But when hospital workers showed the mysterious man a piano, he started playing -- and wouldn't stop for two hours.”


Curious, any thoughts??

Besides, I think the previous post is take a rather nasty, anti-male direction!!

[Selma in Sandy Eggo]

Has anyone checked for piano competitions held on cruise ships? And what happens to the losers? Man overboard! Perhaps we have found a formerly missing disappointed contestant.

Anti-male? Be thankful you don't hear old wives when the men are all elsewhere. The kitchen conversation at football parties would leave you shocked speechless.

Behaviour mod theory says that irregular (unpredictable) reward is the most effective at changing behavior.
By which logic, the female orgasm is designed to make females want sex, "just in case" this is the time they get lucky.

Note: nothing in this theory requires men.

I think this would be a gold mine for the fanatical fundamentalists. Here's the perfect opportunity to debunk evolution!

You mean it hasn't been already? I love reading evolutionary psychology, the conclusions they come up with are a scream.

BTW, there is a fertility improvement in the women's O. PM me for details.

You want what at work now?

This is weird.

Victim's E-journal led to slay suspect

"A doomed Queens man's chilling computer entry led cops to a suspect who allegedly robbed and killed the victim and his sister to finance a return to China, police said yesterday."

here's a link to a blogger who posted the full entry.

"Today I missed my Japanese class again, since I have gotten a bad throat. I only went to the class once this week, so I am probably so far behind now. I will catch up in the summer tho so no worries hehe. Anyway today has been weird, at 3 some guy ringed the bell. I went down and recognized it was my sister's former boyfriend. He told me he wants to get his fishing poles back. I told him to wait downstair while I get them for him. While I was searching them, he is already in the house. He is still here right now, smoking, walking all around the house with his shoes on which btw I just washed the floor 2 days ago! Hopefully he will leave soon, oh yeah working on the jap report as we speak!"

This one made my newspaper too.

Sex-linked trouble in the Chinese student community is common enough here to be of concern both here & in China. My private pianist's mother told her not to get a Chinese boyfriend. She's got one anyway, but he's a nice guy.

A man was asked whether members of his family had any musical talent and replied: "In the recent Tsunami disaster, when the floodwaters started rising in my house I jumped onto an upturned table and floated out to safety. My mother accompanied me on the piano."

A PACK, NOT A HERD:


"An armed robber brandishing a revolver and some tough talk entered Blalock's Beauty College demanding money Tuesday afternoon.

He left crying, bleeding and under arrest, after Dianne Mitchell, her students and employees attacked the suspect, beating him into submission.

Mitchell tripped the robber as he tried to leave and cried aloud "get that sucker" as the group of about 20, nearly all women, some wielding curling irons, bludgeoned him until police arrived...

...Sharon Blalock, owner of the school, said she couldn't be prouder of her students and employees. "They just whooped the hell out of him.""


Bellicose women are everywhere.

[OperaTenor]

Does this mean I have to move my response post now?

[dai bread]

Good on them. Robbers have had a bad time here lately too. 3 of them got dealt with, though one of the dealers got put into a neck brace as a result.
