Why do black people smoke menthols?

... people-menthols metric has had some particularly nasty results: According to the CDC, African Americans are at least 50 percent more likely to develop lung cancer than white 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 ...

Meet The Family [closed - complete]

...Leaving Gaara sleeping off his concussion in his and Iruka's cell, Hidan made his way outside for a bit of fresh air. Partly he was actually looking out for Lee, wanting to rip the fucker into shreds, partly, he wondered whether he should keep an eye out for Gaara's sister. Even though Gaara had said he didn't need to ...

Iran

... Secret Service tried very hard to involve the CIA in a plot to oust Mossadegh, but Presi dent Truman adamantly refused. After Eisenhower was elected, however, John Foster Dulles, who attained great wealth partly as a lawyer for the Rockefellers and their oil companies, was appointed Secretary of State. His brother, Allen Dulles, also a lawyer and very closely connected to the oil interests, was ...

Owl-y!

It's been rainy almost all the week now...uggg. I hope our two+ months of upcoming summer will be less...wet... Anyways! This piece was partly influenced by Kristen's owl guy on Blue Zon chapter 3.  This is done entirely with watercolor (+ watercolor crayon), and there is no pencil drawing involved. I wanted to be little gusty. Direct link I was browsing through owl photos earlier, and...

Let's retell this post with cooler costumes and a 16:9 format

... 3 TV + Movie 1 + Movie 2 Geez. I had to type it out to make sense of it. Moving on to in-continuity approaches, I'm not a big fan of Type C, even though it's the most common. Partly because many times, I don't know where to place these movies (though some make it easier than others) but mostly because no matter how big and grand and crazy the threat in the movie is, you can be assured it will ...

HERE is how it is

... have left a few large things out there, because I personally am procrastinating on putting my bedframe together. This is partly because I like having it on the floor here, like this, easy access, and don't WANT to put together the bed frame for that reason, but also juts partly because I'm being lazy and don't want to push these heavy mattresses out of the way so that ...

The Age of Wordiness

...'t explain that while I had really wanted to go to the SCA event, I didn't manage to go, what with not having a frock, and various and sundry other reasons.  It occurs to me that maybe, partly, it's the wrong time period for me to get excited about.  Needless to say I would really adore historical reenactment of the Victorian Era, and none of that mucking about in the Civil War: I want something ...

... pretty few and far between and I love the sense of cracked out antics that the author has the Arrancar get up to. It's partly making fun of them/parody, partly just being amusing, and partly a cute Aizen/Gin piece. It flew right by and did not feel like 850 words, wow. (Some Aizen/Gin, it's only vaguely ...

... ur not writing me balablaba. She writes back, your just using me all the time, all u do is take. Ive decided to distance myself from you. Im so shocked.... there are so many things i feel. Partly im angry secoundly i understand thirdly im worried that when my friend comes to visit in three weeks that they will still be pissed at me and then there will be a bad atmosphere.  I want things to be ...
