Why do black people smoke menthols?

... smokers, which is partly because African Americans metabolize nicotine more slowly. Recent research from Harvard also suggests that this has something to do with the mint sticks—the cooling, anesthetic effect once seen as medicinally beneficial may actually just be numbing the throat enough to facilitate deeper inhalation. Which, when you think about it, is totally uncool. Here's something ...

Meet The Family [closed - complete]

..., resting his wrists on his knees casually. He was careful to keep a little space between them, though. "I'm Hidan," he continued. "Do I look fuckin' freaked out? Maybe that's your effect on me, lady..." Temari glared briefly at the space between them, then raised an eyebrow at the man. "You live with Gaara for long enough, you learn to read people." After a moment's thought, ...

The passing of a legend

... who among us hasn't imitated walking down a checkerboard tile floor and wished they lit up? "Black and White" had those beautiful synchronized dance moves and the birth of the morphing visual effect. And "Beat It" is simply a classic, hands down. Whatever controversies attributed to Jackson in recent years should not eclipse his greatness. He was kinda weird, true, and was deluged by scandals, ...

Movie/Special Suggestion & Selection Post

... movies as you want (though keep in mind that you can save them for future posts!), just please give each movie suggestion a separate comment . And since people might want to chat about movies without voting for them, I'd appreciate if you threw "Yay!" or Yea!" or "Seconded", something to that effect, in the subject line when you're voting. This post will be open until tomorrow at 10 pm !

What's Supertech missing?

..., one of our Viagra junkies got a new script for Cialis. He called up today to tell me that it wasn't working at all, let alone the 36 hours that it's advertised to supposed to... er... have an effect, and we needed to call his MD to get him more refills on the Viagra. One of our really annoying guys, the weird one who likes to cover his hands with a tissue when he uses the pen at the counter (...

1958-2009

I am dearly saddened by the loss of Michael Jackson. Having died due to cardiac arrest, which, in my opinion, is not doubt the result of prescription pills or something to that effect, he is lost forever, though not his legacy. He changed much about culture in the height of his career... all muddled down to all sorts of scandals about his sexual stance on children in the final decade before his ...

... to be part of the utopia world we had created. We could leave and return if necessary but we had to return within a short amount of time or the 'bad air' from the real world would begin to effect us and we would forget about utopia and begin to turn hateful and violent like everyone else. Every once in a while, we would become aware of someone like us, who wanted to live peaceful and happy. ...

Recent read comment--why does a story not work?

... to understand each other--and I am only complaining about this because here's Starshine, right, and here's all this baggage Corinna says she has with her--and it's used to absolutely no dramatic effect. How about Sunlight? Well, as Corinna follows him around he gives some sign of being a creepy old man having no success picking up younger women. Then he gets beaten up for reasons I'm not clear ...
