Chuq: Now having successfully buried the lede, it turns out that a decade ago I weighed 367. Today I weighed in at 398.4. That means over the last decade I’ve gained a net 31.4 pounds, which translates do 3.14 pounds a year (Mmmm…. Pi!), or a mere 1/4 of a pound a month (sorry about […]

Correct me where I'm wrong. There's a strong biological component to homosexuality in human beings. Nature (or "choice") plays a small role. There's no one "gay gene" or anything, but human sexuality is a complex mix of things, but genetics and biology play an incredibly large role in determining someone's hetero- or homo-sexuality.

Funny. But then again xkcd almost always is.

{democracy:87} Just curious. My friend Daria said/says that I get along better with women because "I'm a listener and a talker." I tend to think it's because most guys are jerks. But the jury is still out on me: the sample size for me is too low to draw any valid statistical conclusions.

"The Nod" is something men seem to understand. "The Nod" is the way we recognize each other, say "hello" without goofily waving our hands in the air like a schoolgirl, and it demonstrates many things, including respect, an understanding, acknowledgment, etc. Women don't seem to understand the nod, or for whatever reason, choose not to […]

Though this message is for the gay/lesbian folks out there, the core message applies to everyone: I will admit I've not cared for the "special treatment" gays, lesbians, African Americans, etc. seem to want to get while declaring that they want "no special treatment." We have an NAACP, but an NAAWP would cause a shitstorm […]

As we obtain knowledge as a culture ((I don't know that we're getting "more intelligent" but we're certainly getting more knowledgeable.)), are we seeing a decrease or an increase in the number of people who are "religious"? Are the two related? Or is a change in the "religiousness" of the world unrelated to an increase […]

I'm not in advertising, and I'm not going to pretend to understand whether this type of ploy works on women ((If it does, what does that say about women? Seriously, are they this… simple? Then again, look at a beer commercial. Do guys really think women in bikinis will come to them simply because they […]

The only thing I have to say about Tiger Woods. His reputation as a golfer: perhaps the best ever. His reputation as a human being: trashed. I'm curious to see how I'll feel when I see him playing golf in two months. I've rooted for the guy in the past because I enjoy good golf […]

Every once in awhile, someone advances the opinion that since the PGA Tour has no gender rules ((If a woman ever qualified to be a member, there are no rules to prevent it. Women are allowed to receive sponsor exemptions to play in PGA Tour events - that's how Michelle Wie and Annika Sorenstam have […]

Today on ESPN's Outside the Lines, Bob Ley headed the discussion surrounding (on Mother's Day, of course) of pregnant female college athletes on athletic scholarship. The question: should they forfeit their scholarship? Several issues surfaced in support of allowing the student athletes to retain their scholarship, not the least of which was Title 9, which […]

It is back! Hooray!

It seems that Rookie of the Year Ben Roethlisberger is dating Hottie of the LPGA Tour, Natalie Gulbis. Gulbis, like Anna Kournikova, is hot, blonde, young, and winless. Me? I'm much more of a Laura Diaz kinda guy.
