These states which have passed laws outlawing so-called same sex marriages make me laugh -- as if male and female were that well defined! All sorts of variations exist: hermaphrodites, for example. hermaphrodite - one having both male and female sexual characteristics and organs; at birth an unambiguous assignment of male or female cannot be made. What are these poor souls supposed to do?

The new list processor is in beta test with a few selected extant mail lists. I have issues with some unnecessary changes that have been made. Listnames The new listnames, e.g. "ny-longisland" from "NY-LONGISLAND-L" and "...-D", are causing problems for users who use their email client filter capabilities, like myself. This change guarantees that all such users must adjust their filters.

Any guy who has lived with a woman knows what I'm talking about. Girls like us to put the toilet seat down when we are finished. Let's explore that for a moment. Why should the natural state of the toilet seat be down rather than up? I maintain that it is because they (females) are lazy creatures who don't want to have to think about repositioning the seat every time they use the john. They

Just as visual art can be classified as representational (figurative, realistic, mimetic) or non-representational (abstractionist, nonfigurative), so is music usually similarly classified as (program) or (absolute, abstract). I will begin with a brief discussion of the analogous forms in the field of visual art (meaning: sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, etc.), then move to the main

Schools may ban hurtful T-shirt slogans Reuters: Fri Apr 21, 2006 09:06 AM ET SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Public schools can bar clothing with slogans that are hurtful, a U.S. appeals court ruled Thursday in the case of a student who wore a T-shirt saying "Homosexuality is shameful." The 2-1 decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals backed a San Diego-area high

(And I don't mean the transvestite of that name who used to cruise the streets of Poughkeepsie!) Peaches used to be really juicy when ripe. Nowadays they seem decidedly pithy. They may look — and smell — perfect, but are a big disappointment inside. And they have a tendency to rot invisibly from the inside out. I'll bet that this is a result of growers producing varieties that ship well,

Last night I watched the animated feature, Princess Mononoke. Mononoke is a beautiful and well-crafted film, but I was surprised to see such adult fare on Cartoon Network, a children's venue. Adult situations, some strong language, and a village (Iron Town) populated by brothel escapees and lepers put the film squarely in the adult category. Not to mention the beheadings and other intense

I recently read an article in the Wall Street Journal's online Editorial Page, "Years of Rage A portrait of Kathy Boudin, American terrorist", by Dorothy Rabinowitz, Wednesday, November 26, 2003. This caught my attention: The Weathermen had ... set explosives in the first-floor ladies' room of the U.S. Capitol building in 1972--a crime, like the previous bombings, for which the group took
