GoVeg.com puts forth the following argument:Physicians

You also have the option of rating it (with stars) and giving a brief description, just in case you need to jog your memory."Pretty soon," the site promises, "you'll have a rolling history of your sex life on

• New Study Proves That Single Women are Indeed Predatory Bitches

  flickr.com/photos/syl2007​Unreal has just been informed that the biggest question that plagues single women is "Why are all the good men taken?"This came as a surprise to us, because we always believed the lament of the single woman (well, actually, women in general) was "Why are men such assholes?"

On this year's form, for instance, people still have the option to identify themselves as "Negro," a term that all but disappeared in the late 1960s. The Census Bureau defended its decision by claiming that many elderly people continue to identify themselves as "Negro" rather than "black" or "African American."The mayor's office has recently fielded questions from same-sex couples about whether they
