I thought this was relatively old news, but it never hurts to see it again:
“The clitoris rivals the penis in size.
“The vaginal wall is, in fact, the clitoris”
…
Frustrated that [Australian urologist, Dr Helen O’Connell] kept failing a medical exam, she went back to the anatomy books for answers. She discovered they were wrong.
“They left it out,” she said. “It boils down to rivalry between the sexes: the idea that one sex is sexual and the other reproductive.””
Time for rethink on the clitoris

“Couple exchanges wedding vowels at a local Wal-Mart“. To the strains of Celine Dion, no less.
I wonder which vowels they were – I O U?

“There’s no point debating anything online. You might as well hurl shoes in the air to knock clouds from the sky. The internet’s perfect for all manner of things, but productive discussion ain’t one of them. It provides scant room for debate and infinite opportunities for fruitless point-scoring: the heady combination of perceived anonymity, gestated responses, random heckling and a notional “live audience” quickly conspire to create a “perfect storm” of perpetual bickering.” Guardian
I’m not sure I agree but it’s an interesting viewpoint.

“There is, I think, a growing sensitivity to cartoons’ potential impact in public debate. Maybe that is because they are becoming one of the last redoubts for undisciplined, unspun commentary. You might argue that the powers that be could reasonably expect loyalty in time of a war against terror. I don’t agree, however, that we are made safer by limiting the organs of dissent.
…
Cartoons are the hub of the surviving anti-spin and shaming devices in the mainstream media at a time when spin and shamelessness are a ballooning element in public life.
…
The spin doctors out there will be noticing how much cartoonists can add to an argument, and will be thinking of ways to cultivate them, ways of helping them over the fear that dogs them all: that the paper will have to run with a blank space where their cartoon should be. Let them and their editors be warned, and long may they remain uncultivatable.” (Age)

Have I mentioned my new favourite website, meet-o-matic? It’s described as ‘The World’s Simplest Meeting Scheduler’.

Leaving aside the evils of super-casinos, this sounds interesting: “an exhibition in London’s Mark Jason Gallery next week, which will be using “mood influencing” aromas, and other casino-style “mind tricks” to see if art viewers can be turned into art buyers”. (BBC)

I accidentally made up a bad pun:
What would you call the sequel to the Da Vinci Code?
The Da Vinci Coda!
