That Avatar thing is seriously scary. I mean, I mostly feel pity, for someone being that delusional, but I lose a lot of sympathy for those who reject professional help out of hand.

What's worse is that some asshole out there will likely blame the writers of Avatar or James Cameron or something for these people's delusions. Ugh.

I had to do a presentation on tapeworms for my microbiology class a few semesters ago. For the "Scotch Tape Test" used for diagnosis purposes, I used a gummy worm, scotch tape, and my hand to demonstrate.

That Running the Numbers link IS AMAZING. I got your link (I did! I did!) and looked at it then. Completely astonishing. <3<3

How does one lift a barbell with their vagina?

If you've got to go, I suppose heart attack while being sodomized by a page boy isn't so bad. But Matthew McConaughey's mom? TMI.

And the cannibal thing was interesting too. I've always been fascinated by the "celebrity" of Issei Sagawa. So strange.

I love your clickie lists. They always make my day.

Also, I'm not ashamed to admit that I got 11 out of 12 on the HP thing. I only missed the last one and I was debating between the one I picked and the one it actually was... It was all Hagrid babble and I wasn't sure...
