Sexual Assault Prevention Tips Guaranteed to Work!

1. Don’t put drugs in people’s drinks in order to control their behavior.

2. When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone!

3. If you pull over to help someone with car problems, remember not to assault them!

4. NEVER open an unlocked door or window uninvited.

5. If you are in an elevator and someone else gets in, DON’T ASSAULT THEM!

6. Remember, people go to laundry to do their laundry, do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.

7. USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you while you are in public.

8. Always be honest with people! Don’t pretend to be a caring friend in order to gain the trust of someone you want to assault. Consider telling them you plan to assault them. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the other person may take that as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.

9. Don’t forget: you can’t have sex with someone unless they are awake!

10. Carry a whistle! If you are worried you might assault someone “on accident” you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can blow it if you do.

This Shit is so Creepy

...that I don't even know how to start listing the things that are creepy. But any such list would have to include, the look on the brother's face, and the look on the sister's face.

In fact the only thing that is not totally creepy about this comic is the look on the baby's face, which hints at some awareness that something is very wrong with this picture.

Ohhhhhhh! That explains it!

Last week we were studying emotional intelligence, and I asked the students to write an opinion essay on whether they felt that women have a higher EQ than men, and whether this is the result of biology or cultural conditioning. The responses were enlightening in general, but my favorite was this gem from Mr. Kim:

"Of course the men are more emotionally intelligent to the women, because all of famous artists are men. If the women are emotionally intelligent, we would see many famous artists who are women. But actually, we don't see this. So we can know that men have higher EQ."

I'll bet the Guerrilla Girls are going to be embarrassed when they figure that one out.

Are you interested in things which are awesome?

Then you might want to watch the BBC's Walking Walking With Dinosaurs.





Because if you can get over the minor drawbacks of:

1. Questionable credibility of dinosaur facts.
2. Gimmicky stuff like guts "hitting the camera"
3. Occasional imposition of contemporary western values on prehistoric creatures, and
   
4. Kenneth Branagh

Then you are in for about 6 hours of non-stop awesome. When you are done, you may watch "Walking With Monsters," and if you are into mammals (lame) "Walking With Beasts."

I'm skipping "Walking With Cavemen" though, for the same reason I avoid "Riding the Train at Night With Modern Man." I just feel more comfortable if there's at least one woman.
