"Let the man who is no danger to you go his way. If Death is not already present at a gathering, it is folly to invite him. Death is a capracious guest - his appetite may be larger than his host expects." - from The Dark Border, Paul Edwin Zimmer
VideoJug is at it again with two videos on how to be perfect for your hetero-significant-other. How to be the perfect boyfriend and how to be the perfect girlfriend. I leave it to you, gentle readers, to decide which is the more accurate.
UPDATE. There’s a whole adventure this couple goes through called The Love Story. Loads more videos and subtle (sometimes not so subtle) humor.

Thanks to Redge for this video (and the title above) that shows how truly hopeless the future of America will be with kids like this coming up the pipe and into adulthood. The video is from the Miss Teen America 2007 contest featuring Miss South Carolina’s answer on why she thinks most Americans in recent polls cannot find America on a map.

A MAN who lived in his own “zoo” of lizards and insects was fatally bitten by a pet black widow spider — then eaten by the other creepy-crawlies.
Police broke in to Mark Voegel’s apartment to find spider Bettina along with 200 others, several snakes, a gecko lizard called Helmut and several thousand termites had gorged on his body.
And the article just gets better from there with descriptions of the insects coming out of the nose and mouth of the victim. Thanks to Brown That Banana for the link!

Diogenes of Sinope was a philosopher in ancient Greece. A Cynic, specifically, and eschewed much of the creature comforts in favor of an aesthetic life. And he did and said some of the damnedest things.
Diogenes was once invited to dinner by a wealthy man. During the evening, one of the guests became so outraged by Diogenes’ general behaviour that he began to throw bones at him, calling him a “dog.” Whereupon Diogenes got up, went to the guest, cocked up his leg and urinated on him.
***
Diogenes stood outside a brothel, shouting, “A beautiful whore is like poisoned honey! A beautiful whore is like poisoned honey! A beautiful whore . . . “. Men entering the house threw him a coin or two to shut him up. Eventually Diogenes had collected enough money and he too went into the brothel.
***
On one bright, clear day, Diogenes was walking up and down the market place, holding a lighted lantern high in front of him and peering around as if searching for something. When people gaped and asked him what he was doing, he replied, “I am looking for an honest man.”
***
When asked what was the right age for marriage, Diogenes replied: “For a young man, not yet; for an old man, not at all.”
***
After being reproached for masturbating in the marketplace he would say “If only it was as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly as it is to masturbate.”
***
When Diogenes noticed a prostitute’s son throwing rocks at crowd, Diogenes said to him “Careful, son. Don’t hit your father.”
Diogenes also knew Alexander the Great and Plato, and was supposedly present when Socrates left this mortal coil. If you’re interested in a full treatment of his life I recommend reading Diogenes Laertius, the “man with the same first name”.

To be televised for 24 hours: porn stars, boob grabbing and hand jobs. Welcome to the 24 Hour Telethon Porn Can Save the World. Made in Japan!
All proceeds of the telethon will be donated to the Japan Foundation for AIDS Prevention, and there are plenty of porn programs and saucy projects planned for the weekend, Shukan Taishu says.
Among the features of the telethon will be “Oppai Bokin (Tit Collection),” where contributors to the charity fund are permitted to knead the breasts of an adult movie actress; and the Tekoki Jinja (Hand Job Shrine), where a cash handout will be returned with a hand out of an entirely different kind.
I love the Japanese.
