Odds and Ends (Mostly Odds)

If Jesus had been crucified on a motorcycle, would that have been a moto-cross?

Okay, that was really bad.

How about if scientists, in the never ending quest to increase the size of women's breasts (next to making the penis bigger, what else is there?) -- what if they came up with a pill that would, say, allow a woman to go from a B cup to a D cup over night. (here comes the punch line) Would that be a drug bust?

And on a more serious note, the Kansas State Board of Education is at it again. Now they're trying to remove any funding from schools that teach anything other than abstinence. Never mind that there are no studies that prove that abstinence even works... In fact, there are several convincing studies out there that prove, if anything, teaching abstinence only actually increases risky sexual behaviour. What do the good people of Kansas want their children to know? It seems that illiteracy is preferable to knowing about evolution. That total lack of sexual knowledge is preferable to knowing that women have vaginas and men have penises (peni?), and when the moon is right and the two come together it can justify government subsidies of tobacco farmers.

And why do they call it a penis? I'll tell you one thing for certain, a man didn't originally call it that. Penis just sounds small to begin with. It's one of those onomatopoeic words, like tiny and tiny (same word, pronounced differently, go figure). If men would've named the penis, it would've been something like schlong (my favourite) or gigantor or ba-boom!
