Our Wacky Women and "That Time of the Month"
2001-12-04 23:28:19
In my never-ending search for bizarre anecdotes and very strange statistics, I've uncovered some astounding facts about "That Time of the Month" that you may not know about.
Did you know:
- 32 states have laws on the books that say a woman isn't responsible for maiming, murdering or hitting a man on the head with a frying pan when her "Aunt Flo" is visiting.
- Ladies with "leaky basements" can't do math problems. It's true -- to a woman 1 + 1 = 5 when she's "on the rag"!
- Some large companies (including Charles Schwab, Ben & Jerry's, and the United States Postal Service) allow woman to take a leave of absence "that week" because most of them just sit at their desks crying the whole time anyway.
- 77% of divorces in this country are caused by "menstruating" women who think their husbands "breathe wrong."
- 92% of the chocolate consumed in the United States each year is eaten by women who are dealing with "the curse." Also, 86% of potato chips, 67% of our fat-free ice cream products and a whopping 98.5% of America's Cheez-Wiz are eaten by our "bloody ladies."
- It's best if girls who have "female troubles" don't participate in gym class or team sports. They're legs are weak and they tend to fall over on courts and playing fields, causing injury to other players who trip over them.
- A woman who has "a snatch box decorated with red roses" should not prepare food to serve to others. Her blood is "tainted" and can "infect" the meal.
- In 1982, an Oklahoma woman by the name of Elaine Skinner ate 286 oz. of raw pork products. She attributed this amazing feat to "riding the cotton pony."

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
