Someone: tips for sending intimate messages to your boyfriend:

when you are both standing in a bookstore, nudge his shoulder gently. this will let everyone know that oyu are a couple.

and if you are sitting in a group in a cafe, rest your hand gently on his thigh. this will send the emssage that you are his and want to share an intimate moment with him.

walk towards him as he is walking towards you and put a big smile
then as you approach him give him a big kiss
this shows you are welcoming him and really excited to see him cos you are taking step forward to meet him

Seen in a school uniform thread in the Cowboy bar: "hello what does SPSS have to do with sale of uniforms? I need a dependent variable, or an independent one. What exactly are we looking for? Are we running a linear progression? Histogram? Normal curve?"

A theory on sexual repression in religion: "At first, these assholes appear merely insane. After careful study, the diabolical nature of their attack on self-esteem becomes apparent. What they seek are sexually frustrated and ashamed individuals to become drones in their money machine. Sexual repression leads to religious ecstasy, shame leads to money in the collection plate. They are morally bankrupt control freaks. Onan forever!"

akikonomu informs me that modern historians believe that "the die is cast" was not actually uttered by Caesar, and is a later interpolation for dramatic effect. I also recall that classical histories have a tradition of putting words into the mouths of historical figures, in the absence of actual recorded utterances. Those studying historical or semi-historical documents from this era would then do well to cast aside their pre-conceptions, even if it led to the collapse of their whole discipline; self-indulgent intellectual masturbation in a vacuum is always a waste of time.

What the hell is a digital perm (I'd heard of and managed to find information on ceramic perms, but not on digital ones)?!

I highly doubt there's a difference between hand lotion/cream and the equivalent one for the foot. It's just a scheme to make money.

I thought 8am classes at NUS were bad, but it seems UC Davis has 7am classes. Ouch.
