Yes, that is creepy. But the idea that it has any direct effect on the person who is the object of the fantasy is nonsense.

One time my friend and I were sitting in his half finished basement playing Xbox when I notice a centipede on the wall. I go and I'm about to smash it, and my friend suddenly gave it a fucking name! Then he goes on and creates this big sympathetic backstory for it... stuff like his kids, and how he's on the way home with food to feed his family... on and on with that shit. After about 5 minutes of this, you better believe I still smashed that little fucker.... His reaction was priceless.

From a WWII Vet:
"If you encounter a unit you can’t identify, fire one round over their heads so it won’t hit anyone.
“If the response is a fusillade of rapid, precise rifle fire, they’re British.
“If the response is a s**tstorm of machine-gun fire, they’re German.
“If they throw down their arms and surrender, they’re Italian.
“And if nothing happens for five minutes and then your position is obliterated by support artillery or an airstrike, they’re American.”

Right, it had better be nitrogen (or some other inert gas) and not air! I don't want nasty stale chips!

As the father of a young child I have to try really hard to not take this sort of thing personally.

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that it's not square?
Also, what is in front of the knight on F3?

25 man secrets that all men should be aware of 9 comments

A few notes:
1. False, the ventilation that boxers allow is healthier for the testes and the attendant sperm which develop best at slighlty below body temperature.
3. This only works sometimes.
11. Just don't flush them, even if they say they are flushable they help create fatbergs.

^exactly. The idea here is to make them small and unobtrusive enough that they can be plastered everywhere and the giant area makes up for inefficiency. Which is a nice thought but I think they forgot about the infrastructure necessary to deliver that energy to wherever.

It should say adsorption, not absorption. Adsorption is when something clings to a surface, absorption is when something permeates into something else.
